Mechanical and thermal design of embankments built on permafrost
Principal Investigator: Doré, Guy
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5247. The main objective is to develop a practical method for the mechanical and thermal design of embankments built on permafrost based on the properties of the active layer and of the permafrost as well as the loading conditions. The development of decision-making tools to select the optimal course and the optimal embankm...

Influence of Mackenzie Delta Channel Thermal Regime on Permafrost
Principal Investigator: Ensom, Timothy P
Licensed Year(s): 2010 2009
Summary: The purpose of this research is to measure the seasonal temperatures of streambeds at several sites in the Mackenzie delta and adjacent tundra uplands, and predict the implications of these temperature patterns for local permafrost conditions. This project will seek to determine whether channel size and depth affect the annual thermal regime of the streambed, and will also use collected temperatu...

The Influence of Snowcover on the Ground Surface Temperature in Permafrost
Principal Investigator: Riseborough, Dan
Licensed Year(s): 2001 2000
Summary: This study will attempt to understand and predict how cold the ground surface gets in the winter under snow. Transportation to the site will be by helicopter and accommodation at the site will be in tents or at an existing cabin. Travel from camps to sample sites will be by foot. Electronic data recorders were installed in August 2000 to record air, ground and surface temperature through the wi...

Influence of petroleum contamination on soil thermal properties
Principal Investigator: Winnicky, Kim
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: In this study, oil spill sites will be identified and information will be collected on the vegetation, soil and amount of surface oil present. Five soil cores from the sample sites will be collected and analyzed for oil concentrations as well as used for experimentation in order to assess soil thermal properties. The researcher will drive to the study site (Mile 222 on the Canol Road) from Ross ...

Licence #2750
Principal Investigator: Woo, Ming-ko
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: 1) To conduct hydrologic and thermal process studies on a small drainage basin. Measurements will be taken of snow melt rates, ice and snow-depths and rates of run-off. 2) To conduct permafrost and hydrologic studies related to management of uranium tailings (this will be a modelling study)....
