Perma-X Airborne Campaign 2023
Principal Investigator: Grosse, Guido
Licensed Year(s): 2023
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...


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...


Recent, rapid environmental change in the western Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Thienpont, Joshua
Licensed Year(s): 2023
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...


Mapping for Ground Ice along the ITH
Principal Investigator: Alvarez, Alejandro
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5420. The objectives of this study are to: 1) evaluate the geologic setting including geochemistry, and dating of sediments to establish a regional history of the area; 2) investigate the geologic setting of multiple buried, massive ice bodies; and 3) develop a geologic and hazards map along the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highwa...


Impacts of Permafrost Thaw Slump Extent, Severity and Persistence on Stream Biotic Health
Principal Investigator: Musetta-Lambert, Jordan
Licensed Year(s): 2021
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 ...


Trajectories of landscape change due to thawing permafrost
Principal Investigator: Korosi, Jennifer B
Licensed Year(s): 2021
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 ...
