Principal Investigator: Jacobs, John D.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 1988 1987
Summary: This research, begun in 1985, involves measuring climate data such as air and ground temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, solar radiation, precipitation and snow depth. Automatic data collecting stations have been set up to measure these data. The purpose of this research is to document a more accurate picture of the region's climate, to obtain information about the past cli...

Principal Investigator: Marsh, Philip
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The research will study changes in the water levels of a variety of lakes in the Mackenzie Delta. Investigations will include consideration of factors controlling the lake levels, introduction of floodwater from the Mackenzie River, rainfall on to the lake, smowmelt runoff into the lakes and evaporation from the lakes....

Principal Investigator: Edwards, Thomas W.D.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his assistant will collect samples of snow, rain, stream water, pond water and ground water from undisturbed sites in the Manners Creek Basin. Measurements of naturally occurring chemicals and isotopes in surface and subsurface waters will be used to study the movement and mixing of waters in a boreal watershed in the zone of continuous permafrost....

Principal Investigator: Sklash, Michael
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: 1. Determine the magnitude an timing of groundwater contributions to a stream during summer storm runoff events. 2. Determine the nature of the physical response of groundwater to a rain event. 3. Determine how groundwater chemistry affects surface water chemistry during runoff events....

Principal Investigator: Stanley-Jones, M.L.
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To undertake a study of the origin of precipitation formation in the North-polar region and the electrical structure of precipitating clouds....

Principal Investigator: Pratt, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To measure the quantity and type of submicroscopic particles in the air and to determine the acidity of rainwater. The study will also help to determine possible human influences on the climate....

Principal Investigator: Anderson, John C.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: 1. To conduct hydrologic studies with regard to highway construction. Measurements of pre-melt snow, ice covers, snow melt, rainfall, stream discharge, suspended sediment concentrations and water temperature in rivers will be taken. 2. Some aerial and road based reconnaissance will also be undertaken....

Principal Investigator: Goth, David
Licensed Year(s): 1976
Summary: 1) To collect data on seasonal snow depths, densities and temperatures, 2) To collect snow samples for pollen measurement, 3) To make observations on the presence of erratics and weathering on exposed rocks, 4) To compile a daily records of precipitation, temperature, cloud ...
