2012 Summary:
The objectives of this research is to provide a better understanding of the permafrost under EL 462 and EL 463 and to delineate potential aggregate deposits. Objectives will include mapping: permafrost distribution, massive ice bodies (including wedge ice), depth to massive ice, lower contacts of massive ice, zones of thermokarst, ice rich sediments (thaw sensitive), active layer, and aggregate de...

2005 Summary:
The climate and numerous field reports indicate that permafrost should be continuous in the Mackenzie Delta. However, the most recent permafrost map in the Atlas of Canada classifies the delta as having discontinuous permafrost. Yet, no extensive fieldwork covering the entire delta has ever been realized. Unfrozen conditions beneath the ground, near shifting channels, have been recognized by vario...

1987 Summary:
Mr. Hyatt is continuing his study to see if permafrost and ground ice are affecting the new water reservoir at Pangnirtung. He is also starting a new study at Pond Inlet. The reservoir at Pond Inlet is a natural lake that has been dammed. Mr. Hyatt wants to compare the affects of permafrost and ground ice on the structure of this reservoir with the one at Pangnirtung....

Summary:
To place temperature probes using a water jet to measure temperatures beneath a 2 km long spit at the north end of Richards Island to determine if the accumulation of these sediments has influenced the distribution of permafrost....
