Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5532. The objective of the research project is to elucidate the change in the atmospheric carbon balance of thawing permafrost regions post-disturbance. The impact of disturbances such as fire, especially in conjunction with permafrost thaw, are still not well understood. By installing a new 15-m eddy covariance tower at Sc...

Principal Investigator: Carnochan, Stacey
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4987. The proposed Fieldwork will inform the baseline setting of the environmental site assessment (ESA), while also aiding in the development of feasible mitigation measures that will reduce potential effects that the Project may have on wetlands, wildlife, and vegetation. As well, the fieldwork reconnaissance will provide...

Principal Investigator: Lamoureux, Scott F
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: The objective of the research is to supplement and extend instrumental climatological and hydrological records in the NWT using dendrochronology (tree-ring) and varved lake sediment analysis. Transportation to the site will be by charter aircraft from Fo...

Principal Investigator: Melton, Derek
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: The objective of the study is to determine the presence or absence of fish habitat and wildlife in the vicinity of the proposed project. A literature search for registered archaeological sites within the project area has been started. A helicopter will be used to access the four well sites and the proposed access routes. The development area will be surveyed by foot. All wildlife observations (ma...

Licensed Year(s): 1998 1997
Summary: Water quality field work involves drilling with an ice auger on four small lakes in the Den Lake watershed to determine if water is present below the ice, and if so, the depth of the water. The concentration of dissolved oxygen will be measured to determine the lake's potential to support overwintering fish. The results of this late winter survey will be used to identify the need for further fishe...
