This licence was issued for the scientific research licence application number 748.
The project objective is to determine how near-surface wedge ice volumes are related to geomorphic setting, which reflects soil physical properties, moisture contents, and process and duration of ice formation.
Wedge ice geometry will be measured with a hand-held CRREL drill, permafrost cores extracted, and s...

Résumé:
This project aims to obtain a better understanding of the sensitivity of slopes to disturbance from development, especially in the context of progressive climate warming. It will also identify baseline levels for natural and anthropogenic contaminants,...

Changes in the ground due to uplift, associated with the growth of a pingo, and sideways movements due to the growth of ice wedges, will be measured. Air, ground, and lake water temperatures will be measured, in order to find out how the ground is responding to climatic variation. The reseach team will also return to Paulatuk, to continue studies Dr. Mackay began there 50 years ago. Travel to s...

200020001999 Résumé:
This study investigates the distribution and amount of near-surface ground ice in sediments of the Mackenzie Delta area. The research team will consist of Steve Kokelj (Carleton University - principle researcher) and Doug Joe (Inuvik). The proposed fieldwork will begin in Inuvik in April, with the main part of the field work being carried out from 30 July to 20 August. In April, the research te...
