Airborne passive microwave surveys of the Snare and Yellowknife basins to estimate snow water equivalent
Principal Investigator: Derksen, Chris
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: Regional estimates of snow water equivalent (SWE) are useful for climate studies, calculating how much water is stored in the snowpack, and weather forecasting. These data are available from manual surface measurements, but there not very many measureme...


Snow accumulation/runoff in high latitude permafrost basins
Principal Investigator: Marsh, Philip
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1990
Summary: The primary objective of this project is to improve understanding of the fluxes of water and energy in northern regions, and to develop improved computer models of these processes. The Trail Valley Creek site will be accessed by helicopter and snowmobile...


Tundra Hydrology and Chemistry, Daring Lake, NWT
Principal Investigator: English, Michael C
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002 2001 2000
Summary: The objectives of the research are to examine how changes in active layer depth influence groundwater and surface water chemistry in two subbasins of the Daring Lake basin in the headwaters of the Coppermine River Basin. In addition, a snow survey of th...


Amituk Lake: Trace Organic Contaminants in an Arctic Aquatic System
Principal Investigator: Semkin, Raymond
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: Amituk Lake and the east coast of Cornwallis Island is a research site for documenting the occurence and movement of organic and inorganic contminants from winter snowpack into a freshwater lake. Numerous tests for snowpack water content and chemistry are carried out before snowmelt begins. Chemical and flow measurements are also taken at 6 streams and the lake outlet....


Estimating areal snow water equivalent of the NWT using passive microwave data
Principal Investigator: Gan, Thian Yew
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993
Summary: The researchers will return to Cornwallis Island to collect data on snow depth in the McMaster River Basin area. This information will be used to test a computer model or algorithm that has been developed which estimates snow depths from remote sensing data. The development of an algorithm which accurately predicts snow depth from remote sensing data will assist in our knowledge about the distri...


Licence #2317
Principal Investigator: Bednarski, Jan
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: To study the snow pack including snow density, depth, water equivalence, stratigraphy and ice composition....


Licence #2275
Principal Investigator: English, Michael C
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: Observation of break-up on the Slave River Delta. Measurement of snow depth, density, water equivalence and snow layering before Break-up....
