Summary:
The objective of this research is to identify current state of housing in Yellowknife. This field research should give insights on window-wall ratio, window type, typical R-values, typical construction assemblies, mechanical systems used and delivery process for housing. This will help benchmark the current energy and future performance of housing in the region. As well, the objective of this fiel...

201320122011 Summary:
The objective of this research project is to measure solar irradiance levels in Jean Marie River and Ft. Providence, in order to support pre-feasibility studies on the use of solar energy in those communities.
During the summer the project engineer will travel to Jean Marie River and Fort Providence to start monitoring solar irradiance in the two communities. The monitoring units will likely be...

20102009 Summary:
The objective of this research project is to measure the aerosol optical depth and sky radiance at Yellowknife using an automated, sun-tracking, CIMEL sunphotometer.
In this project, measurements of instruments in the network (called AEROCAN which is the Canadian sub-network of the world-wide NASA-led network called AERONET) are performed using a CIMEL sunphotometer / sky radiometer. This instr...

1992 Summary:
We plan to install magnetometers, instruments that passively measure the earth's magnetic field, at 4 sites during the summer of 1993. We will spend approx. 1 week at each site installing and testing equipment, and will then leave it in place for several years. We also plan to revisit the 4 communities of Pangnirtung, Cape Dorset, Coral Harbour and Repulse Bay to meet with established contacts an...
