Principal Investigator: Singer, Claire L
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5272. The proposed research aims to measure the extent of non-native plant spread into natural areas in the NWT, assess the impact of this spread to native plant and soil communities, and assess the risk of invasion from plants in neighbouring jurisdictions. Sampling plots at increasing distances from the roadside or ri...

Principal Investigator: Nearing, Michelle
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5047. The objective of the study is to determine environmental conditions (in particular metal concentrations) and to compare existing conditions on and near the Rail Bed to background. The proposed field program will focus on collecting information that is considered critical for completing a human health and ecological ri...

Principal Investigator: Jakiela, Kevin
Licensed Year(s): 2016
Summary: The objective is to perform soil analysis (for composition) and researching parameters in Geodome on the Northern Farm Training Institute (NFTI) farm such as: air temp, relative humidity, light intensity, albedo, soil moisture/saturation and temperature. This analysis will help NFTI to figure out optimal growing conditions inside the greenhouse to optimize crop growth and yields. The research team...

Licensed Year(s): 2013
Summary: The main objective of the Phase III Environmental Site Assessment is to delineate the hydrocarbon contamination at the site resulting from an overflow of fuel at a vent pipe of an above ground storage tank. Test holes will be excavated with a backhoe around the former spill area in order to collect soil samples. Each sample will be submitted to a Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditatio...

Principal Investigator: Schincariol, Robert A
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: An improved understanding of the thaw and drainage processes, and exchanges of energy and moisture that control the flow of water in the vast wetland region of Canada is needed to improve weather and climate change predictions. Large-scale experiments on soils of the Central Mackenzie River basin will be used to elucidate moisture and carbon transport processes in the active layer. Laboratory base...

Principal Investigator: Menounos, Brian p
Licensed Year(s): 2006
Summary: The various objectives of the study are: to refine the previously compiled landslide inventory map with field checking, to identify causal mechanisms to slope instability (such as bedrock or surficial material type, aspect, elevation, glacial history, and permafrost distribution), to identify frequency of landslide types, to examine landscape patterns in the Nahanni karst area to establish relatio...

Principal Investigator: Kustan, Ed
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: The research team, including an environmental consultant, a technician, and a member of the community, will access the site and assess the site conditions. The field will be accessed from Fort Liard via the barge. The individual sites will be accessed via truck. At the site, researchers will complete a walk around of the site including the site facilities and surrounding area. Should any soil or s...

Summary: The research team, including an environmental consultant, a technician, and a member of the local community, will access the site and assess the site conditions. The researchers will access the site via helicopter and will complete a walk around of the site including the site facilities and surrounding area. Should any soil or surface water be identified as a concern, a sample will be obtained and...
