Summary: The research goal is to document community stories of Cosmos 954 and radiation risk in Fort Resolution and Lutselk’e, NT. In gathering these stories, the Principal Investigator (PI) will compile a community-based oral history of Cosmos 954 and Operation Morning Light in these northern communities. This research seeks to answer the following questions: How did community residents experience and rem...

Summary: This year’s objective is to complete the work at the selected locations by obtaining a full suite of rock samples for analysis, photograph each location, and measure natural radiation. At each site, the rock exposure will be photographed in detail. Natural radiation will be measured every half meter using a sensor without major disturbance of the rock face. At each location, rock samples weigh...

Summary: To characterize the source rock potential of Devonian to Cretaceous age shales in the southern Peel Plateau. At each site, the rock exposure will be described in detail and photographed. Natural radiation will be measured every meter using a sensor. A small amount of rock (equivalent to size of a fist) will be sampled every meter. Additional samples of 1-2 kg may be collected for dating the age...

Summary: Arctic clouds are dominant on average covering 40 to 60% of the skies over the Arctic ocean. They exert a large influence on the radiation balance in the Arctic, where climate change effects are predicted and observed to be largest in the northern hemisphere. The FIRE III field project will use in-situ measurements obtained using instrumental aircraft, in combination with concurrent satellite dta,...
