The export of terrigenous dissolved organic carbon from boreal terrestrial ecosystems to the Arctic Ocean and its vulnerability to environmental change
Principal Investigator: Fichot, Cedric
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5897. The primary objective of this funded project is to develop a sophisticated model that can simulate the mobilization, transport, transformations, and export of tDOC from the Mackenzie River watershed to the Arctic Ocean. The model will be used to simulate the transfer of tDOC during the past two decades and for plausi...

Understanding the impacts of permafrost thaw on water resources and hydrology in the Dehcho region.
Principal Investigator: Quinton, William L.
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5120. The long-term objective of this research program is to improve the understanding, parameterisation and prediction of water flow and storage processes in peatland-dominated, thawing, discontinuous permafrost. Over the next 5 years, significant progress toward this long term objective will be made through the following ...

Big river wood dynamics in the Canadian subarctic
Principal Investigator: Anderson, Natalie K
Licensed Year(s): 2014 2013 2012
Summary: The Research team proposes to examine the sources of wood within the Mackenzie River drainage, transport of wood toward the Arctic Ocean, and the potential implications of global warming for wood recruitment and transport. The primary objectives are to (i) evaluate fundamental controls on wood dynamics within the Mackenzie and (ii) develop an empirical predictive model to estimate future wood dyna...

Hay River Ice Jam Study
Principal Investigator: Hicks, Faye E
Licensed Year(s): 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004
Summary: Our objective is to study ice processes on the Hay River in order to facilitate our development of computer models to predict them. The hydraulic modeling techniques being employed also have the potential to address local issues such as the effects of berming and channel infilling on ice jam occurrence and severity. The researcher would ultimately like to be able to provide some flood warning tool...

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...

Radar Observations in Support of the Mackenzie GEWEK Study (MAGS)
Principal Investigator: Haykin, Simon
Licensed Year(s): 1999 1998
Summary: The Mackenzie GEWEX Study (MAGS) is the Canadian component of the international effort called the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX), in support of a World Climate Research Programme to observe, understand, and model the hydrological cycle and energy fluxes in the atmosphere, at land surface, and in the upper oceans. A transportable radar system, called the IPIX radar, which was set ...

Freezeup and breakup observations on the Mackenzie River near Fort Providence
Principal Investigator: Hicks, Faye E
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993
Summary: The researchers will continue their monitoring of ice formation and breakup at the Mackenzie River crossing near Fort Providence. Data will be collected on water levels, river velocity, ice thickness and strength, and snow depth. This information will contribute to our knowledge of ice formation and breakup at this crossing, with a goal of predicting freezeup and breakup events....

Modelling the establishment and growth of post-fire tree seedlings
Principal Investigator: Gal, Ruth Ann
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: As a result of global warming (which results from increased amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere), it is suggested that the number of forest fires and the amount of area burned may increase in the northern boreal forests. The types of trees that grow first in these burned areas may be different from those that would have grown in if the climate was cooler. I will collect data at burn site...

Northern Hydrology and Climatology Studies
Principal Investigator: Prowse, T.D.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: Spring breakup in Northern Rivers are often associated with record water levels and often lead to flooding. Present methods of forecasting the severity of these events are hampered by lack of understanding. The acquired knowledge and understanding obtained from these studies will be applied to the enhancement of suitable models for predicting the time and magnitude of these events....
