1998 Summary:
Samples of ground ice and permafrost soil, will be collected, and also air, ground and lake water temperatures measured. This information will be used to understand how permafrost conditions in the area have changed in the last few thousand years. We also measure ground movement to determine how the ground deforms during the year in particular we measure the tilting of trees at regular intervals t...

199319921991 Summary:
The researcher will continue to collect samples of ground ice and measure temperatures in lakes and ponds. This information is used to help understand how the ground heaves as it freezes in winter, and to determine the extent of soil settlement during thaw in summer. The information about lakes is used to help understand the relations between water depths and temperatures beneath the lake....

1992 Summary:
This research is part of an international project that is aimed at documenting the history of changes in the treeline during the Holocene era. While much is known about the environment and climate of this era, little is known about the development of peatlands during this time. I will collect data on peat layering, pollen and fossils in order to determine how the peatlands developed during this ...

Summary:
My research is about cracks in permafrost that have been filled in with wind-blown sand. In cliffs, these filled-in crackes appear as `veins' of sand. I will record the distribution and characteristics of these veins of sand. This information may help to determine the history behind how the cracks formed and the environmental conditions of the Mackenzie Delta up to 40,000 years ago....

Summary:
Dr. Worsley is coming from England with his research associates to continue his studies of how the rocks, landscape, and permafrost of Banks Island have changed in the last million years. He is interested in using this information to try to determine what conditions where like in England long ago....

Summary:
To continue the work begun in 1978; to survey vegetation and terrain on the south shore of Amadjuak Lake and the operation of a meteorological station there; to install automatic weather stations and bulk precipitation collectors at two locations, one on the southeast side of Amadjuak Lake and the other on the west side of Nettilling Lake; to monitor environmental change in the interior of Baffin ...
