DOC in surface waters in the NWT; implications of a changing climate
Principal Investigator: English, Michael C
Licensed Year(s): 2015
Summary: This research focusses upon dissolved organic carbon (DOC) quantity and quality from a suite of hydrological environments underlain by discontinuous permafrost. The research looks to better understand how water quality will be influenced by a warming climate, with specific attention to DOC, by analysing historical water quality data (30 years) from three local rivers (Yellowknife, Cameron, and Mar...

Long term and current variability in sources and sinks of carbon and nitrogen in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems underlain by discontinuous and continuous permafrost
Principal Investigator: English, Michael C
Licensed Year(s): 2014
Summary: The objectives of this research project are: 1. to extract sediment cores from three different regions of the Northwest Territories namely: the low arctic tundra (continuous permafrost-Daring Lake), Taiga Shield northern boreal (widespread discontinuous permafrost-Wekweeti), and Taiga Shield boreal (sporadic discontinuous permafrost-Baker Creek Watershed) which provide the research team with a re...

Variability in peat plateau energy balance and water chemistry along a warming gradient
Principal Investigator: English, Michael C
Licensed Year(s): 2013
Summary: This research is physically based on a peat plateau and a peat bog, both close to Yellowknife. There are two primary objectives to this research. The first involves quantifying surface energy balances in areas where degradation of peat is pronounced and where it is not. Suprapermafrost water from the degraded and non-degraded sites will be analyzed for nutrients and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) ...

Spring Melt Hydrological Investigations at Daring Lake, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: English, Michael C
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002 2001 2000
Summary: Tthe objective of this study is to continue research examining the hydrological and energy budget of small arctic esker lake basin during the spring melt period. The intent of this research is to understand the relationship between the energy budget and changes in soil moisture, rates of evapotranspiration, and changes in water discharge from a small tundra basin underlain by permafrost. Transpo...

Hydrology and geochemistry of a high arctic lake basin: Colour Lake, Axel Heiberg Island, NWT
Principal Investigator: English, Michael C
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991
Summary: The researchers are interested in understanding how physical factors (snowmelt, rainfall, solar radiation) play a role in thawing the upper part of the ground each year during the spring and summer. Instruments in the ground will collect data that will estimate how much energy (from the sun) is entering into and melting the frozen ground. Other instruments will measure snowmelt, rainfall and the...
