Impacts of wildfire on runoff response and downstream water chemistry in a region with rapid permafrost loss
chercheur principal: Olefeldt, David
Année(s) de permis: 2024
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5892. Objective summary: To assess the effect of wildfires on changes in water quality in the Dehcho and South Slave region, which are affected by runoff from peatlands (containing e.g., organics, nutrients, and mercury/methylmercury), which are already experiencing increased permafrost thaw due to climate change. Synop...


Murky waters: Impacts of disturbances on the mobilization and downstream delivery of mercury and methylmercury
chercheur principal: Olefeldt, David
Année(s) de permis: 2023 2022 2021
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5448. This project proposes to monitor wetlands, streams, rivers, and lakes in the Dehcho region, with a focus on understanding current and future trends in aquatic mercury and methylmercury. The region has vast stores of mercury accumulated in organic wetland soils, and there is a risk that disturbances such as permafrost ...


Impact of climate change on catchment biogeochemistry in plains and shield regions
chercheur principal: Olefeldt, David
Année(s) de permis: 2021 2019 2018
Résumé: The objective of this research is to identify impacts of climate change and permafrost thaw on pond methane emissions, and on water chemistry in streams that drain peatland-rich catchments. Impacts on methane emissions will be assessed. Specific objectives are: 1) to characterize the trends and variability in magnitude of methane emission from ponds along climate gradients within both the Taiga...


Effects of fire on peatland permafrost stability and carbon cycling
chercheur principal: Olefeldt, David
Année(s) de permis: 2017 2016 2015
Résumé: The project team intends to study carbon cycling in peatland catchments, in order to determine whether the interactions between wildfire and permafrost thaw causes increased release of greenhouse gases from peatlands and aquatic ecosystems to the atmosphere, and thus cause amplified climate change. Given the overall objective of the project, the team intends to address 5 research questions: 1...
