Detection of massive ground ice using Ground Penetrating Radar and seismic shothole records

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
This study utilized Ground Penetrating Radar and seismic shothole drillers' log records to examine the occurrence, distribution and origin of massive ground ice at two locations in Northwest Territories. Through traverses along recent seismic cut-lines, discreet bodies ofmassive ice were identified in differing sedimentary facies within the Colville Hills, and Little Chicago - lower Mackenzie corridor study areas. Ice bodies are between 40-110 m in lateral extent and up to 3.6 m thick. Application of these complimentary methodologies demonstrates their utility toregional ground ice mapping as may be required for future regional infrastructure development activities.

Cette etude utilise la georadar et les donnees des trous de forage sismique pour examiner la presence, la repartition et l'origine de la glace massive du sol a deux endroits dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest. Par les transects sismiques recent, deux incidences de la glacemassive sont identifies dans les facies sedimentaire variables dans les regions d'etudes de les Colville Hills at a Little Chicago-la couloirs-bas Mackenzie. Les masses de glace sont entre 40-110 m d'etendue lateral et jus'qua 3.6 m d'epaisseur. L'application de cettes methods complimentairesdemontrents sons efficacite dans la delimitation de la glace de sol dans les deux regions pour la development de l'infrastructure dans la future.
