This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5554.
The objectives of this project are to improve the understanding of methane cycling in Mackenzie Delta lakes and how it is affected by the changing water levels and to decipher the impact of water level changes on the ability of the Mackenzie Delta to affect riverine carbon and nutrient flow to the ocean.

2007 Summary:
The aims of the various components of this project are to develop a hydraulic model for the Mackenzie Delta by observation of ice jams for calibration of the model, assessing ice cover and breakup patterns, linking an ice-ocean-atmosphere model of storm surges to the hydraulic model, measuring water stored in off-channel areas, improving information on lake-flooding for off-channel areas, quantify...

The long-term goal of this research is to develop a model of the interacting biogeochemical and hydrologic processes that control the nutrient balance and primary productivity of lakes in the Mackenzie Delta region, and ultimately, a more general model for lakes associated with the flood plains and deltas of major world rivers. Work based at the Inuvik Research Centre will consist of field and lab...
