Principal Investigator: Lehn, W.H.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To further study meteorological optics by photographic recording of land forms and their refracted images over horizontal lines of sight; measurement of refraction and horizon shift by theodolite; local surveys of the photographed land forms and observation sites....

Principal Investigator: Schunke, Ekkehard
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: Collecting observations and measurements of surface forms and surface processess, soils, permafrost, and hydrology....

Principal Investigator: Neuman, Cheryl McKenna
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: (1) To survey, map and photograph aeolian (wind blown) sediments and landforms within an area extending from the head of the fiord to Tumbling Glacier lake with possible excursions as far as Windy Lake. (2) To install instrumentation that will monitor wind activity, surface and climatic conditions, and sediment movement by wind....

Principal Investigator: Lehn, W.H.
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To investigate optical refraction in the lower layers of the atmosphere (anomalous refraction, such as the superior mirage and optical ducting). Photographic recording of land forms and their refracted images: measurement of refraction and horizon shift; some measurement of atmospheric temperatures in the lowest layers (10-15 meters); local surveys of the photographed land forms....

Principal Investigator: Worsley, Peter
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To conduct a general study of land forms, geological and glacial processes, a study of the soils and sedimentation process in the rivers. Samples of soil, molluscs and vegetation will also be collected for future lab analysis....
