chercheur principal: Kennedy, Blair E
Année(s) de permis: 2014 2013
Résumé: The objectives of the research are: (1) measure the spectral properties (i.e. how light is absorbed and reflected) and biochemical constituents (e.g. chlorophyll, water, nitrogen, carbon) of arctic vegetation at the ground-level in various vegetation communities across the Western Arctic (e.g. low-arctic to high-arctic); (2) investigate the potential of using satellite based multi-angular imaging ...

chercheur principal: Armstrong, Terry
Année(s) de permis: 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010
Résumé: The objectives are to draw together multiple sources of information so that we may (1) examine change in lake area in this ecoregion, (2) assess amount of meadow habitat lost to rising water levels in core bison range, (3) investigate whether recent changes are part of a longer-term cycle and evaluate the causes of this change, (4) determine a way to document and integrate local and traditional kn...

Geoscientific project to study the application of optical spectroscopic remote sensing to detection of the base metal mineralization in the Izok Lake deposit area
chercheur principal: Peter, Jan M.
Année(s) de permis: 2013
Résumé: The overall aim is to evaluate the use of optical reflected light spectra (so-called hyperspectral remote sensing) collected from rock outcrops and drill cores in detecting (hydrothermal alteration) minerals that are associated with the base metal mineralization. The aim of this research project is to collect reflected light spectra in the visible, near infrared, and shortwave infrared regions ...

South Rae, NWT Aeromagnetic Survey
chercheur principal: Miles, Warner F.
Année(s) de permis: 2012 2011
Résumé: The objective of this airborne survey is to acquire high-resolution aeromagnetic data. Aeromagnetic surveys measure magnetic properties of bedrock and are one of the tools used in geological mapping. The bedrock may contain mineral deposits, such as gold, copper, lead, zinc, and diamonds. Understanding the geology will help geologists map the area, assist mineral exploration activities , and provi...

Evolution of the snowpack and snowmelt chemistry in the boreal forest and tundra ecosystem
chercheur principal: English, Michael C
Année(s) de permis: 2012 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004
Résumé: This research project has two primary scientific goals which include: 1) Relating ground truthed snowpack data to passive microwave data obtained from satellites through the winter months. This will assist in formulating a empirical relationship between the two datasets which is necessary to improve satellite monitoring of snow water equivalent. 2) Determining the relative importance of snowmel...

UpTempO: Measuring the Upper Ocean Temperature of the Arctic Ocean
chercheur principal: Steele, Michael
Année(s) de permis: 2013 2011 2010
Résumé: The goal for this research project is to measure the upper ocean warming (0 - 60 m layer) that occurs as sea ice retreats in the Arctic Ocean during summer, and also the fall cooling. The surface layer (0-50 m) of the Arctic Ocean has in recent years experienced unprecedented summertime warming. The causes are still under investigation, but are undoubtedly related to extreme summer sea ice retreat...
