2005200420032002 Summary:
Geological mapping and sampling, radiocarbon dating, and cosmogenic dating techniques will be used to reconstruct sea level change and glacier dynamics for Prince Patrick, Eglinton, and Melville islands since the last glaciation.
In order to better understand possible future climatic conditions, it is important to obtain palaeoenvironmental data from these regions. The broad objective is to ob...

Summary:
The overall objective of this research is to construct and test predictive computer models that show the evolution of lowland permafrost landscapes. Surveys and radiocarbon dating of drained basins will be undertaken and canoe-based surveys will determin...

19901988 Summary:
This study will provide a better understanding of permafrost conditions in the high arctic as well as the environmental conditions that lead to permafrost formation. Study sites include the Fosheim Peninsula on Ellesmere Island and May Point and Mokka Fiord on eastern Axel Heiberg Island....
Principal Investigator:Gualtieri, Lyn Licensed Year(s):
1993
Summary:
The purpose of this research is to determine the amount of ice coverage during the last glaciation by investigating the landforms that occur today. I will also record the change in sea-level and the rise in the land as the glaciers receded. Evidence for the movement of glaciers onto eastern Ellesmere Island from Greenland will be collected. The data collected in this field season will contribut...
Principal Investigator:Marsh, Philip Licensed Year(s):19931992
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:Lemmen, Donald Licensed Year(s):
1991
Summary:
The Researcher will map, describe, explain the surficial deposits and geomorphology and study glacial history and relative sea level changes. This will involve mapping and surveying as well as the collection of small samples for sedimentological, geochemical and paleoecological analysis....
