Understanding of distribution and sources of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in the north and east of Great Slave Lake and coastal regions
Principal Investigator: Chen, Bing
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5820. The proposed project will evaluate the temporal and spatial distribution of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE) in the water and sediment of Great Slave Lake and surrounding communities, landfills, drinking water, and industries to identify the source of PBDEs. The concentration and distribution of PBDEs will b...

Ekati
Principal Investigator: Donald, Derek
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5765. The main objectives of the field work for 2023 will be (1) to determine if the Ekati Diamond Mine is having an effect on the surrounding aquatic environment, wildlife, and air quality; and (2) to provide baseline data for areas where mine development may occur in the future. In winter, water samples will be colle...

Geochemical Characterization and Reactive Transport Simulation of Metal Leaching and Acid Generation in Waste Rock from the Ekati Diamond Mine, NT
Principal Investigator: Blowes, David W.
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4769. The objectives of this project are to provide critical insights into the potential long-term water quality impacts that may arise from waste-rock weathering; to develop scaling relationships to predict contaminant release, transport, and attenuation in the field; and to inform closure-cover design to mitigate the gene...

Community-Based Water Quality Monitoring in the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Beveridge, Meghan
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013
Summary: The purpose of the project is to work in collaboration with Northwest Territories (NWT) communities to collect water quality data to answer community concerns and questions about the health of NWT waters, to enhance understanding of cumulative impacts and to contribute to decision making. There are three associated objectives: 1) collect water quality data at locations throughout the NWT, to ...

Arctic Wastewater Research
Principal Investigator: Challen Urbanic, Jane
Licensed Year(s): 2012 2011 2010 2009
Summary: The objective of this research is to assess the performance of lagoons and wetlands in the treatment of municipal wastewater in Canada's Arctic. A secondary objective is to determine the occurrence of trace contaminants in northern wastewaters. Samples will be taken from the influent (raw sewage) and effluent (treated wastewater) of each wastewater system identified earlier in the application. ...

Water, Sediment and Fish Testing of Marian River system
Principal Investigator: Nevitt, Zabey
Licensed Year(s): 1999 1998
Summary: For many years the Dogrib have trapped and fished in and around the Marian River. There are concerns that contaminants are entering the river system. Some of the concerns include: effects on health from eating fish and effects on heath from drinking water. Field collection will take place over two days. The team will travel by canoe from Rae. Seven fish will be caught by members of the community f...

Radiocesium Levels in Northern Residents
Principal Investigator: Tracy, Bliss
Licensed Year(s): 1989
Summary: Dr. Bliss Tracy and team will be travelling to Baker Lake and to Rae-Edzo, NWT in order to complete whole body counts of radiocesium on the local people. Radiocesium falls from the air onto lichens, and is then eaten by caribou and passed on to people. The researchers will measure how much radiocesium is in people's bodies. They will document how much caribou is eaten so that they can advise peop...
