This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5219.
Through this project the research group will address the following objectives: What is the net effect of permafrost thawing induced biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks to the climate system? How do these two types of feedback differ between the sporadic and discontinuous permafrost zones? Is the reported decrease...

The project of the present application is the continuation of year-round eddy covariance measurements of carbon, water and energy fluxes at Scotty Creek, established in 2013.
The key methodology is tower-mounted micrometeorological measurements around the eddy covariance technique using an open-path infra-red gas analyzer and a sonic anemometer. These measurements are supported by measurements ...

2016 Summary:
The goal of this project is to look at how permafrost is changing following forest fire over a range of environmental conditions, with the purpose of improving how change is modeled in the future. The fires of 2014 in the southwestern Northwest Territories (NWT) provide an opportunity to examine how discontinuous permafrost responds to disturbances. This work is being carried out in collaboration ...

This season we may visit areas between Tsighetchic and the coast in April and will survey from Fort Simpson to the Arctic coast in July. Inuvik Research Centre may take late season measurements as part of a cooperative program. Travel will be by road, small boat on the river and helicopter from Inuvik. Access to the sites is always on foot. This is the ninth annual survey of a network of thaw dept...
