Summary: The long-term goal of this research is to develop a model of the interacting biogeochemical and hydrologic processes that control the nutrient balance and primary productivity of lakes in the Mackenzie Delta region, and ultimately, a more general model for lakes associated with the floodplains and deltas of major world rivers. Work based at the Inuvik Research Centre will consist of field and lab ...

Principal Investigator: Gariepy, Clement
Licensed Year(s): 1996
Summary: All transportation will be done using rental vehicles (usually locally). Water sampling will be done out of rental boats (typically zodiac-type) and equipment (light pumps manually operated); water will be filtered on site, particles in suspension will be carried back for analysis. This will typically be 50-100 milligrams. Itinerary includes: Inuvik, Ft. Providence, Yelllowknife....

Summary: We will arrive at Fort Resolution on or about mid June and re-establish our base camp on Steamboat channel. For each day we are on the delta will be taking samples of sediment from the marshes of the outer delta area with a coring device. At the base camp we will take the core of sediment and section it into 2cm thick sections which will be air dried and shipped south for analysis....

Summary: The researchers plan to measure weather conditions in the Sophia Lake area, together with measurements of stream flow and sediment movement in the lake. This information will help us to understand what controls the transfer of sediments from the land to the lake, and how this transfer is dependent on year-to-year changes in the weather. By examining the lake sediments, we may be able to reconstr...

Summary: The aim of this ongoing research is to establish links between climate and the movements of soil. By collecting this type of data, it may be possible to determine the effect that climate changes may have on the movements of soil down slopes, into rivers and eventually into the sea....

Summary: As part of the Northern Oil and Gas Program (NOGAP), the Geological Survey of Canada will investigate shallow sediment types, sediment content in ice and under-ice water currents in the Canadian Beaufort Sea. This will be done by sampling and surveying using hand-held equipment and current meters (placed under the ice). This study will help to determine the role of ice in transporting sediments ...

Principal Investigator: Hequette, Arnaud
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The researcher and his team will survey beach profiles using an electronic level, survey shallow lagoons and nearshore zones, collect nearshore sediment samples and deploy current meters in the nearshore zone and in a shallow lagoon....

Principal Investigator: Hill, Philip R.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: The purpose of this project is to understand how the Mackenzie Delta and adjacent coastal regions have developed over the last 18,000 years, since the last glaciation affected the region. The project will includes investigating the sub-surface development of the delta and studying the processes by which sediment supplied by the river is transported to the continental shelf and coastal waters....

Principal Investigator: Forbes, Donald L
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researchers will use the ARKTOS 5 amphibious vehicle for geophysical surveying in the vicinity of Tuktoyaktuk and the proposed Amauligak pipeline landing site on Richards Island. They will measure nearshore sediment dynamics using wave and current meters at selected locations in the vicinity of the proposed pipeline landing site at North Head....
