Report of field work on the characterization of the ice sheet in Tuktoyaktuk Harbour: damaged sea ice field program, March/April, 1997
The characterization of the ice in Tuktoyaktuk Harbour was undertaken as part of a field program to study the strength and fracture properties of salt water ice. The report presents data on the structure, the salinity and the temperature profile of the ice sheet. Photographs of thin sections and the...
