The impact of permafrost thaw on Taiga Shield and Taiga Plains lakes
Principal Investigator: Palmer, Mike
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5974. The specific research objectives are: 1) to implement a geologically-based classification scheme to group permafrost lake types for the range of biophysical environments encountered across the NWT; and 2) to determine whether these lake types can be distinguished by their physical and water chemistry characteristics....

Subarctic Lakes in a Changing Climate (SLACC) - Lake studies in the Yellowknife area
Principal Investigator: Palmer, Mike
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5901. The overarching objective of this program is to take an ecosystem approach to assessing how multiple environmental stressors impact aquatic habitats in subarctic shield terrain. There are three central activities that will be undertaken with this license and they are designed to address the specific objectives below...

Recovery of the Mine-impacted Landscape in the Yellowknife Region
Principal Investigator: Palmer, Mike
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5534. The long-term objective of this research is to determine what processes control the recovery of the landscape near Yellowknife that was contaminated by stack emissions from the Giant Mine roaster, and how this recovery will be affected by climate change and unusual or severe weather events. One focus will be on how cl...

Arsenic and mining associated metals in berries and local garden produce in the Yellowknife area
Principal Investigator: Palmer, Mike
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4829. The objective of this project is to gain a better understanding of the current state of mining related contaminants in local berries and garden produce in the Yellowknife area and to determine the potential risk to human health associated with the consumption of these local food sources. Specifically, this project ...

A multidisciplinary investigation of recovery in Yellowknife area lakes from 50 years of arsenic pollution: What are the factors inhibiting recovery and the biological consequences?
Principal Investigator: Palmer, Mike
Licensed Year(s): 2019 2018 2017
Summary: The overarching objectives of this research are two-fold: 1) to investigate watershed and within-lake abiotic processes affecting the recovery of mine-impacted lakes in the Yellowknife area, including storage and release of arsenic from soils, seasonal dynamics of arsenic export in runoff, and fluxes of arsenic to and from lake sediments; and 2) to investigate the toxicological consequences of...
