Etienne Godin : Recipient of a NSTP scholarship for the upcoming 2015 field season

April 16, 2015 in @en , post by Davesne.G

Etienne Godin just obtained a scholarship from the Northern Scientific Training Program (NSTP) which will be used to support his field logistics at Bylot Island (NU) . NSTP is managed by the Canadian Polar Commission .

This summer Etienne will download the ground temperature data continuously recorded by the automatic logger system deployed in the permafrost nearby a gully. These temperatures are useful to better understand the degrading permafrost evolution and active layer dynamics near a gully.

He will update the gully mapping and localize current erosion zones. He will also sample water in a watershed surrounding a gully to obtain the isotopic signature of the various types of water involved in the permafrost degradation.

We wish you a nice fieldwork season !
