The Exeter Lake esker: Nature and origin of North America's longest esker
chercheur principal: Bilak, Grayson S
Année(s) de permis: 2019
Résumé: This research project aims to determine the nature and origin of the Exeter Lake esker, and focuses on further constraining key parameters for exploration purposes. Eskers are deposited in dynamic glacial environments, and many factors need to be considered during exploration including but not limited to; how far has the sediment traveled from the original source, how large of an area is the esker...


A Multi-scale Assessment of Cumulative Impacts in the Northern Mackenzie Basin
chercheur principal: Lantz, Trevor C.
Année(s) de permis: 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012
Résumé: Objective 1: To use satellite imagery (Landsat, QuickBird, InSAR, etc.) to document the rate and extent of landscape change (slumps, subsidence, vegetation change, etc.) in the northern Mackenzie Basin. To quantify landscape disturbances and vegetation regeneration patterns since 1985 the research team will obtain Landsat satellite images that will provide reflectance measurements covering a 1...


Developing Remote Sensing Tools for Mapping Linear Disturbances in the Sahtu Region of the Northwest Territories
chercheur principal: Cole, Sarah E
Année(s) de permis: 2015
Résumé: The objective is to develop a current and complete development footprint for a designated area of the Central Mackenzie Valley, Northwest Territories (NWT), that includes specified disturbance attributes; captures an estimate of current recovery state; and, provides data to predict disturbance recovery trajectories and project footprint change over time. Anthropogenic disturbance features will ...


Food Security and Drinking Water Vulnerability Assessment Related to Permafrost Degradation in the Jean Marie River First Nation
chercheur principal: Ireland, Margaret
Année(s) de permis: 2013
Résumé: The main objective of this one year project is to provide the community with a practical tool for assessing Jean Marie River’s (JMR’s) vulnerability to food security in relation to country foods, as well as the vulnerability of sources of country foods and drinkable water used by the community members out on the land, in the context of climate change. This tool will consist of a mapping of permafr...


Airborne SAR and passive microwave measurements over snow covered tundra for CoReH20 retrieval validation and land surface model testing
chercheur principal: Derksen, Chris
Année(s) de permis: 2013 2012
Résumé: The proposed European Space Agency Earth Explorer 7 CoReH20 satellite mission has the primary objective of retrieving snow water equivalent (SWE) over land at a high spatial resolution (200-500 metres) from X- and Ku-band Synthetic Aperture Radar measurements. This would make available high resolution, satellite derived SWE, for monitoring and modeling applications. To-date, airborne measurements ...


Great Bear River Environmental and Traditional Knowledge Baseline Program
chercheur principal: Lennie-Misgeld, Peter
Année(s) de permis: 2011 2010
Résumé: The main objective of the program is to collect fisheries and environmental baseline information to better understand the environmental characteristics of the Great Bear River and to support potential future development of hydropower on the Great Bear River. The program is not being conducted to support a specific project as there are no hydropower projects planned for the Great Bear River at thi...


RADARSAT Observations of River Ice and Flood Patterns in the Mackenzie River Delta
chercheur principal: van der Sanden, Josephus J
Année(s) de permis: 2017 2012 2010 2009
Résumé: The objective of this research is to investigate the potential of Canada’s RADARSAT satellites as a tool for the collection of information on (change in) river ice conditions and, during spring breakup, flood conditions in the Mackenzie River Delta. Canada’s RADARSAT satellites will be tasked to acquire a time series of images over the Mackenzie Delta from October 2008 to July 2009. To facilita...


Mapping and Modeling Carbon Flux in Northern Canada Related to Land Use Change
chercheur principal: Chen, Wenjun
Année(s) de permis: 2005 2004
Résumé: The research team is working to become familiar with the impact of human disturbances on vegetation in northern Canada for their carbon studies. The objective of this study is to collect vegetation and biophysical data for use as verification of ground cover type and disturbance for use in satellite imagery classification and biomass and soil sampling for carbon modeling along the Ingraham Trail....


Digital Database of Vegetation Types of the Mackenzie Valley Development Corridor
chercheur principal: Squires Taylor, Cindy
Année(s) de permis: 1992 1991
Résumé: The researcher and her team will conduct helicopter surveys of vegetation types. The field data will aid in the computer classification of satellite imagery. The results will be vegetation maps of the Mackenzie Valley, which can be plotted on paper or entered into a digital database on a geographic information system (GIS) for further analysis with other data such as wildlife habitat, forest fir...


An Evaluation of SPOT Data to Map Ground Cover in the Canadian High Arctic
chercheur principal: Jetty, Tammy
Année(s) de permis: 1991
Résumé: The Researcher will carry out fieldwork in association with Dr. Cheryl M. Pearce. The study will investigate if the the response of arctic surfaces to climate changes can be detected, monitored and mapped using space imagery....
