Impacts of climate change on fire fuels in wetlands and forested areas
Principal Investigator: Chasmer, Laura E
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5614. The objectives for this research licence are to compare the fuel characteristics within accessible areas in the Fort Simpson area to collected lidar remote sensing, to develop an ecozone specific fire fuel model; to determine how fire fuels have changed within northern latitudes over time and compare them to the chan...


Short and long term effects of forest fires on the stability of carbon pools in the arctic permafrost and subarctic forests (ARCTICFIRE)
Principal Investigator: Koster, Kajar
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2015
Summary: The aim of this project is to study the short term and long term effects of different fire intensities on the decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) in northern boreal forests under changing fire regimes. The objectives are to: 1) explore the short and long term effects of forest fires with different intensity on above- and belowground biomasses; 2) explore changes in albedo, snow depths an...


Post-fire forest regeneration in the Western Canadian continental boreal forest: measurement and landscape modeling
Principal Investigator: Gal, Ruth A.C.
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: The objective of this study is to develop a landscape model capable of predicting regeneration after fire in the Northern Boreal Forest. Data has been collected in the past from Porter Lake (near Lutsel K'e), Big Fish Lake, Alberta, and Wood Buffalo National Park, between Pine Lake and Peace Point. Data has also been collected from the International Crown Fire Modeling Experiment near Fort Pro...


Forest Fire Research
Principal Investigator: Maffey, Murray
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: This ongoing project has several activities associated with the study of fire ecology in the N.W.T.. The researchers are involved with the collection of data at a prescribed burn site located at Little Rat Lake (Hook Lake) near Ft. Resolution. They are also participating in the fire history study in the Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary. Finally, crew leaders from the Ft. Simpson initial attack teams w...


Digital Database of Vegetation Types of the Mackenzie Valley Development Corridor
Principal Investigator: Squires Taylor, Cindy
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The Researcher will conduct a survey, approximately 30 km on either side of the Mackenzie River using satellite imagery. A classification will be undertaken of the area from the Mackenzie Delta to the Fort Simpson area, with wider zones along the east side to include proposed pipeline routes. The information can be plotted as colour maps to show the location of trap lines, forest fires or wildlife...
