Research Highlights
Location |
Project |
---|---|
Devon Island,
|
Investigating the subglacial lakes on the Devon Ice Cap and their potential for life |
Ellesmere Island,
|
Investigating temporal trends of emerging pollutant and mercury deposition through ice core sampling on northern Ellesmere Island |
Axel Heiberg Island,
|
Drilling on the island to study the history of sea ice variability in the area west of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago |
Mount Logan,
|
Re-drilling of the Mount Logan summit plateau ice core, a high-resolution record of Pacific climate variability |
Columbia Icefield,
|
Deep ice coring on the icefield (Snow Dome) to investigate contaminant burdens stored in the ice which may be increasingly released in the warming climate, and to explore the recent history of black carbon deposition on the icefield from major forest fires in western Canada |
