Principal Investigator: Alexander, Vera
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To study the area of open sea water (polynya) of Knut Peninsula and to assess the distribution of microscopic plants as well as sea water measurements (temperature and salinity)....

Principal Investigator: Melling, Humfrey
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To obtain better understanding of the role which wintertime freezing over the Mackenzie shelf of the Beaufort Sea plays in maintaining the peculiar cold haocline of the Arctic Ocean. Measurements will also show light on the regional ice budget, and on the recycling of nutrients to the surface layer by the wintertime haline circulation. Field study involves the measurement of the temperature, sal...

Principal Investigator: Perkin, Ron G.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To begin monitoring of the temperature and salinity of upper layers of the Arctic Ocean using a self recording package with conductivity and temperature sensors suspended under the ice....

Principal Investigator: Pounder, E.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: Ocean current readings at various depths and profiles of conductivity - temperature and depth....

Principal Investigator: Anderson, John C.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: 1. To conduct hydrologic studies with regard to highway construction. Measurements of pre-melt snow, ice covers, snow melt, rainfall, stream discharge, suspended sediment concentrations and water temperature in rivers will be taken. 2. Some aerial and road based reconnaissance will also be undertaken....

Principal Investigator: T.W. Fiennes, Sir Ranulph
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: Studies on radio propogation, specifically on the skipping of radio beams: measurement of ice thickness, water salinity and water temperature at intervals of about 50 miles. Measurement of the concentration of ice nuclei in the atmosphere and ornithological studies....

Principal Investigator: Serson, Harold
Licensed Year(s): 1976
Summary: 1) To conduct a study of water quality, volume, heat, and salt transport through Fury and Hecla Strait, 2) Resurvey ablation stakes on the Ward Hunt ice shelf, ice rise and the small ice cap north of St. Patrick's Bay, 3) Oceanographic measurements in Disraeli Fiord and at small halocline lake S.W. of Ward Hund Island, 4) Pre...
