The objective of this project is to complete on ice snow depth, ice thickness and composition survey along with collection under ice core water quality and biological information.
Sample locations from previous years are located using a handheld Global Positioning System (GPS). On ice snow depth is measured using a tape measure. An ice auger is used to penetrate the ice cover and evaluate if w...

The objective of this study is to develop a hydro-ecological model for small Arctic lakes to assess the vulnerability of their ecosystems to disturbances, such as climate change or water withdrawal.
To quantify geochemical loadings to lakes, a model is being developed by monitoring lakes and their contributing catchment (surface water flow). A climate station will be set up at 2 - 6 sites to mo...

This is Year 3 of a research project that examines extreme flooding and deep scour holes along the Mackenzie River. Ice jamming has a great influence on channel construction and destruction, formation of deep scour holes in the bed of channels, and flooding of the adjacent delta landscape. Hence, ice jams are of practical concern in the development of infrastructure, ecology of the delta and day-t...
