Carbon and trace metal transfers in the Mackenzie Delta region
Principal Investigator: Hilton, Robert G
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5624. The main goal of this research is to better understand how greenhouse gas emissions from rivers will impact the future trajectory of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) concentrations. The research team has identified two key research objectives that will allow them to address major research gaps i...


Erosion of old organic carbon in the Mackenzie River Basin
Principal Investigator: Hilton, Robert G
Licensed Year(s): 2020 2019
Summary: The research team will collect a new sample set to better quantify the carbon source, age and fate in one of the largest rivers draining the high latitudes. Based on previous work, the team have identified three priority objectives for sample collection in the Mackenzie River: 1) Collect river depth profile sediment samples across the major changes in the annual hydrograph. 2) Sample paired rive...


Geological carbon in the Mackenzie River Basin: Sources and sinks of atmospheric carbon dioxide
Principal Investigator: Hilton, Robert G
Licensed Year(s): 2017 2013 2011 2010 2009
Summary: The overall aim is to assess the carbon balance of the Mackenzie River Basin and to place constraints on the role of climatic and physical erosion processes in driving carbon dioxide source and sinks to the atmosphere and oceans. More specifically, the researchers aim to quantify the amount of chemical weathering that takes place in the Mackenzie River Basin; to quantify how much weathering of sil...
