Permafrost conditions along the Dempster-ITH corridor
Principal Investigator: Stockton, Emma
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5130. The first objective of this research is to understand how ground temperatures vary within the highway embankment between the border on the Dempster Highway and the north end of the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway. The road surface varies little between these points and it is cleared in winter, so conditions should be un...


Thermal State of Permafrost
Principal Investigator: Siegfried, Dian
Licensed Year(s): 2016 2013 2010
Summary: The objective of this project is to continue an ongoing long-term monitoring of permafrost temperatures on Banks Island and Mould Bay. At these sites the research team have lost remote (satellite) communication and need to make repairs to continue receiving data. The research team are currently monitoring active layer and permafrost temperatures, active layer soil moisture, air temperature, and...


Airborne SAR and passive microwave measurements over snow covered tundra for CoReH20 retrieval validation and land surface model testing
Principal Investigator: Derksen, Chris
Licensed Year(s): 2013 2012
Summary: The proposed European Space Agency Earth Explorer 7 CoReH20 satellite mission has the primary objective of retrieving snow water equivalent (SWE) over land at a high spatial resolution (200-500 metres) from X- and Ku-band Synthetic Aperture Radar measurements. This would make available high resolution, satellite derived SWE, for monitoring and modeling applications. To-date, airborne measurements ...


Permafrost and climate change, western Arctic Canada
Principal Investigator: Burn, Chris R
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998
Summary: The principal objective of this research is to determine how permafrost conditions in the western Arctic will respond to climate change. Additional objectives are to determine how lake temperatures respond to climate change, and how snow depths affect ground temperatures. How permafrost responds to climate change will affect how the ground supports development projects in the future. Data is be...
