Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5295.
The objective of this project is to examine the oxygen (d18O) and hydrogen (d2H) isotopic compositions of stream water and precipitation for 11 peatland stream watersheds along the Inuvik-to-Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH). This information will be used to understand the hydrology of the contributing watershed. In particula...

2018 Summary:
The objectives include:
1) Creating a series of maps showing the thaw slump activity along the Beaufort Sea Coast near Tuktoyaktuk; 2) developing detailed water, vegetation, and ground temperature maps of the study sites using drones; 3) examining the effects of thaw slumping on the water quality of landscape-level runoff to the Beaufort Sea; 4) examining the effects of coastal erosion and thaw ...

Summary:
The objectives of this project are:
1) to examine the water quality of streams located along the Dempster and Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway corridor, to assess the relative importance of latitude (or climate) and surficial geology (e.g., glaciated, unglaciated, upland, peatland, riparian) in controlling water quality; and,
2) to examine the water quality of streams at key points in the year, to in...
