Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5797.
The goals of this multi-year-long project are to assess greenhouse gas (methane and carbon dioxide) release from warming permafrost and tundra lakes in the ISR and to study associated carbon dynamics and microbiological processes, including the release of mercury to the environment.
The first year of field activit...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5656.
The objective is to conduct airborne surveys at 3300ft (1000m) altitude to collect high-resolution aerial images and LiDAR elevation data that can be used to describe and quantify rates of permafrost thaw, coastal erosion, thaw slumping, lake change, and vegetation change. Daily survey flights (depending on cloud-fre...

20222021 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...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5573.
To understand how landscape changes caused by climate warming are impacting aquatic ecosystems, particularly lakes and streams. These disturbances focus primarily on permafrost thaw, in the form of thaw slumps and landslides. The understanding derived will allow better understanding of how water quality and aquatic ha...

This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5424.
This project is part of a larger study called “Nunataryuk - Permafrost thaw and the changing Arctic coast, science for socioeconomic adaptation”, which is unique as it uses a circumpolar approach, assessing the impact of permafrost thaw in five Arctic communities in Canada, Greenland, Svalbard and Russia.
The main...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4985.
The objectives of this project are to investigate impacts of permafrost slumping on water quality, benthic macroinvertebrate communities, fish communities and ecosystem function by (a) advancing research on previously studied thaw slumps within the Stony Creek Watershed and include unstudied (for biotic metrics) thaw ...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4727.
The research team will use lake sediment cores to track the history of shoreline permafrost thaw slump activity over the last several thousand years, and associated lake ecological responses to thaw slumping, in order to provide a long-term context for present-day observations.
The team will select three pairs of ...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4759.
The overall objective of this research is to assess the permafrost thaw slump erosion and transport of its sediment by rainfall/runoff to depositional zones within Arctic tundra lakes. To achieve this, we will link a rainfall simulator with an annular flume (to simulate lake currents) located in the Hydro-ecology Moni...
