The researcher will continue the long-term investigation of how the landscape has changed since the glaciers left 10 000 years ago. In particular, this study is examining the effects of frost and permafrost on the landscape. The researcher will be returning to several sites visited in previous years in order to check earlier observations....

19921991 Summary:
The focus of this project is on examining the glacial and periglacial features of southern Bylot Island and the area near Pond Inlet. Researchers and graduate students will be collecting data on lichens, ice, land features and organisms in order to gain a better understanding of why glaciers of the area are retreating (melting)....

Summary:
The field research will involve the measurement of a high arctic valley glacier using mainly portable electronic equipment in order to better understand the interaction between radar signals and a glacier surface. This exercise may contribute to more accurate interpretation of satellite radar data on glaciological phenomena....
