NWT Streams and Rivers of the future: How permafrost thaw and groundwater activation are changing water resources (CIMP226)
Principal Investigator: Wright, Stephanie
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5846. Objective 1 (O1): Assess the spatial and temporal patterns of hydrologic change (groundwater and surface water) in the La Martre River and Trout River catchments. Objective 2 (O2): Identify the drivers, processes, and feedbacks responsible for the hydrologic changes identified in O1 and how they differ between the s...


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...


Permafrost and ground hazard mapping between Norman Wells and Wrigley along the Mackenzie Valley winter road using airborne geophysics
Principal Investigator: Froese, Duane G
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5160. The research team will use airborne geophysics (helicopter-based surveys) flying the central Mackenzie Valley corridor along the existing winter road to map permafrost across different landforms and terrain types. The objectives of this study are to: 1) Fly multiple lines of airborne electromagnetic geophysical data ...


Lakes as sentinels of environmental change in discontinuous permafrost peatlands
Principal Investigator: Korosi, Jennifer B
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5468. The goal of this project is to understand and predict how lakes in discontinuous permafrost peatlands are changing in response to climate warming and loss of permafrost. The field activities for 2023 will focus on three regions/objectives: Inferring long-term environmental change in the Five Fish Lakes (Lue Túé ...

Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5419. This project continues the on-going monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT. This phase of the project is largely data collection. Objectives are to provide baseline knowledge of permafrost and terrain conditions (specifically ground temperature and active la...


Assessing One Health competencies and learning outcomes: focus groups of climate change professionals
Principal Investigator: Parmley, Jane
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5194. The objective of this work is to identify the competencies (knowledge, skills, and attitudes) needed for success in climate change-related employment positions, and in turning climate change mitigation and adaptation knowledge into action. This study is needed to better prepare future One Health professionals to tackl...


Microbial community fingerprinting of natural resources
Principal Investigator: Iulianella Phillips, Bianca Patrizia
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5296. The research team aim to enhance mineral exploration success in glaciated terrains of northern Canada and generate knowledge about northern soil microbiome controls on greenhouse gas emissions. Soil samples will be collected over-top of a variety of geologically relevant structures, including kimberlite-hosted diam...


Influence of changing active-layer thickness on permafrost peatland trace gas exchanges and carbon balance
Principal Investigator: Sonnentag, Oliver
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2019 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2013
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5221. The project 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 anemome...
