Forest & Forest Fire Studies in the Mackenzie Delta Ecosystem
Principal Investigator: Wein, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: Since fire is most wide spread agent of change in the northern forest, society should know how climatic warming will influence the force. The fire history of the Mackenzie Delta Region is known only through fire suppresion records over the past 25 years. Spot checks on the landscape have been made, but no longer record of 5-20 decades is available. Tree ring approaches will be used in this study...

Fire, carbon budget and climate change
Principal Investigator: Wein, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The research team will be examining areas of permafrost south of Inuvik and near Hay River in order to assess the rate of loss of permafrost as a result of the warming in climate over the past twenty years. The loss in permafrost may be speeded up following a local fire. The wetlands that replace these areas of permafrost could lead to a greater production of methane (one of the gases that contr...

Peat Plateau Collapse and Climate Change
Principal Investigator: Wein, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The research will examine permafrost-containing peat plateaus that have burned during severe fires to determine the features of subsidence (decrease) and the rate of subsidence....
