Permafrost slumping and land-water connections on the Peel Plateau
Principal Investigator: Tank, Suzanne E
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5597. The objective of this research is to understand how permafrost slumping increases the mobilization of carbon, nutrients, and toxins (mercury) from land to water, and the effects of this transport on stream ecosystems and the global carbon cycle. Over the next several years, the research team plan to measure stream ch...


Seasonality of streamwater and icing chemistry in the Yellowknife, NT area
Principal Investigator: Tank, Suzanne E
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5138. The objectives of this study are to determine the influence of permafrost thaw on the mobilization of carbon to stream ecosystems, and its subsequent effects on in-stream microbial communities and carbon cycling. The research team will measure stream water chemistry and collect water samples for microbial analysis at ...


Degradation of dissolved organic carbon in Mackenzie Delta lakes and river channels
Principal Investigator: Tank, Suzanne E
Licensed Year(s): 2013 2012
Summary: This study will examine the solar degradation of riverine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to carbon dioxide (CO2) throughout the Mackenzie River Delta. During the spring runoff peak just before summer solstice, ice-jam flooding inundates the Delta with river water, which spreads out in a relatively thin layer over an extended area and is exposed to 24-hour Arctic sunlight. This water is then slowly...
