Stratigraphy and ground ice content of borehole 77:3/8-1 on Amund Ringnes Island, Nunavut, Canada

To quantify the ground volumes on Amund Ringnes Island NU, Canada), 100 boreholes were drilled to depths up to 3 meters from 1974 to 1977. This borehole was drilled on 1977-08-03 with a hand-held modified CRREL drill and is 2.65 m deep. The dataset describes active layer thickness, soil stratigraphy and characteristics (grain size analyses, soil liquid limit, plastic limit, plasticity index, carbonate content, pH), volumetric ground ice content, and surface deposits. Soil characteristics were determined in the laboratory, and volumetric ice content was determined with a combination of visual estimates and laboratory measurements.

acknowledgement=Willing and able assistance in an unpleasant climate was given by A.C. Liard and W .G. Green (Graham Island, 1974); R. O'Breham and W.R. Archer (Ellef Ringners and King Christian islands, 1976); C.N.D. Hotze! and W.R. Archer (Amund Ringnes, Cornwall, and King Christian islands, 1977). Aircraft support in 1976 and 1977 was provided by Polar Continental Shelf Project of the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources. The report was critically read by Dr. L.A. Dredge, who suggested a number of improvements and alternative interpretations. Result digitizing was supported by PermafrostNet Theme 1.

comments=The location of the borehole was given using the National Topographic System Grid Reference in the report, then repositioned manually to obtain GPS coordinates, so it should be considered approximate.

为量化加拿大努德维岛（Amund Ringnes Island）的地下体积，自1974年至1977年间，共钻探了100个钻孔，深度达3米。其中，1977年8月3日使用手持式改进的CRREL钻机钻探的该孔深为2.65米。该数据集描述了活动层厚度、土壤地层及其特性（包括粒度分析、土壤液限、塑限、塑性指数、碳酸盐含量、pH值）、体积含冰量以及地表沉积物。土壤特性在实验室中确定，而体积含冰量则是通过视觉估算与实验室测量的结合来确定。数据版本为2，支持NetCDF 4.7.3和HDF5 1.10.6版本。在恶劣气候条件下，A.C. Liard和W.G. Green（格雷厄姆岛，1974年）、R. O'Breham和W.R. Archer（埃尔勒夫·林内斯和克里斯蒂安国王群岛，1976年）、C.N.D. Hotze和W.R. Archer（阿蒙德·林内斯、康沃尔和克里斯蒂安国王群岛，1977年）提供了有利的协助。1976年和1977年的飞机支持由能源、矿产和资源部的极地大陆架项目提供。报告由L.A. Dredge博士审阅，他提出了一系列改进和替代解释的建议。结果数字化得到了PermafrostNet主题1的支持。钻孔位置使用国家地形系统网格参考在报告中给出，然后手动重新定位以获得GPS坐标，因此应视为近似值。土壤特性由Douglas A. Hodgson、Samuel Gagnon、Mohammadhossein Gamshadzaei和Michel Paquette确定，数据由Douglas A. Hodgson、Samuel Gagnon和Mohammadhossein Gamshadzaei分发。数据来源于1982年报告《南埃尔勒夫·林内斯、克里斯蒂安国王及邻近岛屿地表材料》的数字化版本，数据经手动重写，并对所有钻孔的某些字段进行了统一化处理（例如，地表沉积物、土壤材料）。该研究项目为《西部斯维尔德鲁普及其邻近岛屿地表材料与地貌过程》，项目编号为GSC_WSAI_1982。
