Spatial and long-term trends in persistent organic contaminants and metals in fish from the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4818. This research will investigate whether contaminant levels are changing in fish in Great Slave Lake which the team have been studying since the early 1990s. The research team plan to work with commercial fishery and community collected lake trout from the Hay River and Lutsel K’e areas, burbot from the Lutsel K’e and F...


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 ...


Geochemical and Mineralogical Controls on Metal Dispersal Downstream of Mineralization in the Mackenzie Mountains, Canada
Principal Investigator: Skeries, Kristina A
Licensed Year(s): 2011
Summary: The objective of this research project is to understand how metals might be weathering from rocks, and to understand where they end up and in which chemical form (the speciation). The importance is to differentiate between the metal species that weather from the rocks, the species by which they are transported, and finally, the species by which they are deposited again, if they are in fact deposit...


Development and application of monitoring tools to quantify the effects of mining on the health of rivers in the South Nahanni Watershed (NWT)
Principal Investigator: Scrimgeour, Garry J
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008 2007
Summary: The objectives of this research are two-fold: 1) Identify an ecological indicator that can monitor changes in loadings of metals in the South Nahanni Watershed. This work is scheduled for completion in 2007-2008. 2) Establish a monitoring program that can quantify the cumulative effects of mining activities on the health of streams in the South Nahanni Watershed. This work is scheduled for compl...


Resource Assessment of Intrusions in the Northern Cordillera: parts of NTS 1051, H, P, 95E,L
Principal Investigator: Falck, Hendrik
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002
Summary: The purpose of this project is to develop and compile an inventory, and improve the understanding of mineral deposits related to granite intrusions in the western Northwest Territories. Understanding the concentrations of metals in the environment is im...


Environmental Studies of the Aquatic Resources in the Prairie Creek Area.
Principal Investigator: Reed, Shawna
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: In project area creeks & streams, fish presence/absence and/ or densities will be obtained by electrofishing representative habitat & the setting of baited minnow traps. Each fish caught will be identified, measured, weighed & sexed, & condition will be noted. Furthermore, in order to assess background tissue metal levels, ten specimens of each species must be sacrificed in order to obtain the req...
