Mackenzie Valley Landslide Geotechnical Investigations
chercheur principal: Wang, Baolin
Année(s) de permis: 2008 2007 2006
Résumé: The objective of this research is to understand triggering of landslides and slope failure mechanisms in the Mackenzie Valley. This will enable better environmental impact assessments of infrastructure projects in the region. This research involves detailed investigation of landslides. Soil samples will be taken by digging test pits in the active layer with hand tools. Most test pits will be ...

Mackenzie Valley Landslide Geotechnical Investigations - 2006 - GSA
chercheur principal: Wang, Baolin
Année(s) de permis: 2009 2008 2007 2006
Résumé: Year 2 of this four-year project involves detailed mapping of landslides and collection of soil samples. Soil sampling will be carried out by digging shallow test pits with hand tools or by using a small hand-held, gas-operated coring machine. It is estimated that up to six test pits of about 1.5m diameter and about 1.5m deep will be excavated at a site; however, the total number of test pits to b...

Surficial Geology of the Mackenzie Corridor
chercheur principal: Duk-Rodkin, Alejandra ADR
Année(s) de permis: 2007 2006 2005 2004
Résumé: It is important for researchers to improve their understanding of the sensitivity of slopes to disturbance from development, especially in the context of progressive climate warming. Additionally, predictions of the impacts of climate change on the terra...

Stability of permafrost slopes in a warming climate
chercheur principal: Dyke, Larry
Année(s) de permis: 1999
Résumé: The goal of this research is to examine landslides on the slopes along the Mackenzie Valley, so that researchers can better understand their causes and the effect climate change will have on the landscape. Field work will be carried out between Wrigley and Inuvik along the Mackenzie River, with some access along the Dempster Highway. Tree increment cores will be used to determine tree age and dat...

MAGS Ground-Based Measurement Studies
chercheur principal: Kochtubajda, Bob
Année(s) de permis: 1998
Résumé: We propose to transport ad install new automatic weather stations by truck, fixed wing and helicopter to three sites in the Fort Simpson area between mid-June through mid July 1998. The automatic weather stations are both solar-powered and battery-powered, and collect and transmit meteorological data for use in weather forecasts and warnings. The weather stations will be used to support the scien...

Palsa Evolution in Alpine Tundra (PEAT)
chercheur principal: Kershaw, G. Peter
Année(s) de permis: 1992
Résumé: The researcher and his team will determine the current status and contemporary characteristics of palsas (frozen peat mounds), and their environments within this mountainous study area. As well, they will quanititatively describe the processes affecting the evolution of these periglacial features and the potential changes in the status of these and related forms under global change models....

Development of Skinflows, Fosheim Peninsula, Ellesmere Island
chercheur principal: Lewkowicz, Antoni G
Année(s) de permis: 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 1988 1987
Résumé: Over time, hillsides slowly collapse for various reasons. Dr. Lewkowicz and his assistants are looking for a certain type of slope failure called skinflows. They want to know map the locations of skinflows in this area and they are going to measure them and determine their age by extracting some soil samples....
