Navigating the Arctic Firescape: Indigenous Perspectives on Climate Variations and Land Use Practices in Northern Canada
Principal Investigator: Sonnentag, Oliver
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5958. The main objective of this project is to understand the perceptions of Indigenous community members, from the ISR and/or the GSA, of how wildfires have modified, and might modify, the landscape and their relationship with it. The Principle Investigator will conduct a dozen semi-structured interviews with community...


Understanding carbon and water fluxes in the forest-tundra ecotone across scales
Principal Investigator: Sonnentag, Oliver
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5891. The project brings together expertise from historically separated knowledge systems and scientific communities, integrating Indigenous perspectives with atmospheric biogeosciences, ecology, airborne remote sensing, and computer science. The project builds on the collective desire to engage community members in knowle...


Scotty Creek 2.0: how interaction between rapidly thawing permafrost and wildfire affect peatland complex trace gas exchanges
Principal Investigator: Sonnentag, Oliver
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5532. The objective of the research project is to elucidate the change in the atmospheric carbon balance of thawing permafrost regions post-disturbance. The impact of disturbances such as fire, especially in conjunction with permafrost thaw, are still not well understood. By installing a new 15-m eddy covariance tower at Sc...


Influence of changing active-layer thickness on permafrost peatland trace gas exchanges and carbon balance
Principal Investigator: Sonnentag, Oliver
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2019 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2013
Summary: The project of the present application is the continuation of year-round eddy covariance measurements of carbon, water and energy fluxes at Scotty Creek, established in 2013. The key methodology is tower-mounted micrometeorological measurements around the eddy covariance technique using an open-path infra-red gas analyzer and a sonic anemometer. These measurements are supported by measurements ...


The frontline of permafrost thaw: a transect of eddy covariance towers across the southern Taiga Plains to better understand changing regional carbon and water budgets
Principal Investigator: Sonnentag, Oliver
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021 2019 2018 2018 2017 2016 2015
Summary: Through this project the principal investigator will address the following objectives: What is the net effect of permafrost thawing-induced biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks to the climate system? How do these two types of feedback differ between the sporadic and discontinuous permafrost zones? Is the reported decrease (increase) in net carbon dioxide (methane) exchange based on flux measur...


Quantifying carbon fluxes and budgets of boreal forest-tundra landscapes under the influence of rapidly changing permafrost regimes
Principal Investigator: Sonnentag, Oliver
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013
Summary: Through this project the principal investigator will address the following objectives: What is the net effect of permafrost thawing-induced biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks to the climate system? How do these two types of feedback differ between the discontinuous and continuous permafrost zones? Is the reported decrease (increase) in net Carbon Dioxide (CO2)-Methane (CH4) exchange based on...
