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 ...


NASA Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) Airborne Flights 2023
Principal Investigator: Miller, Charles E
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5601. From 2017 – 2022, ABoVE airborne teams collected data across a wide variety of ecosystems in both the US and Canada. Depending on available funds, the team may re-fly one of the sensors to collect hyperspectral data at several locations in 2023. For 2023, the NASA Dynamic Aviation King Air B-200 aircraft with a h...


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. 5611. The primary objective of this funded project is to develop a sophisticated model that can simulate the mobilization, transport, transformations, and export of terrigenous dissolved organic carbon (tDOC) from the Mackenzie River watershed to the Arctic Ocean. The model will be used to simulate the transfer of tDOC dur...


Deformation of Sediment-Hosted Zn-Pb Deposits: Implications for Distribution, Remobilization, and Upgrading of Ore
Principal Investigator: Kamal, Darius
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5589. This project aims to map the regional structural geometry surrounding the Howard's Pass district to examine the effects of reactivated basement structures and Cordilleran deformation on Zn-Pb ore bodies. The project research is primarily field based involving detailed geologic mapping on foot. Small samples will be c...


Prairie Creek
Principal Investigator: Reynolds, Merilie A
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5578. To investigate the geological processes that formed the Prairie Creek zinc-lead-silver(-germanium) deposit. The goal is to better understand the environment of the ancient ocean where the rocks originally formed, the mountain-building processes that later deformed those rocks, and the nature of metal-bearing fluids th...


Geothermal potential of the Southern Mackenzie Region
Principal Investigator: Raymond, Jasmin
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5553. The research proposed in this application aims to reduce the consumption of petroleum products used for heating. Indeed, the objective of the proposed project is to develop resources and advance the maturity of technologies associated with the direct use of geothermal energy in Canada. What is targeted is the direct u...


The frontline of permafrost thaw: a transect of eddy covariance towers across the southern Taiga Plains to better understand changing regional carbon and water budgets
Principal Investigator: Sonnentag, Oliver
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021 2019 2018 2018 2017 2016 2015
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5535. Through this project my 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 Changing Role of Agriculture in Subarctic Food Systems
Principal Investigator: Price, Mindy Jewell
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5638. To conduct archival research and interviews on of the history of agriculture in the several communities in the NWT; to understand the social, political, and economic implications of increased agriculture development in the region; to support individuals and communities in gardening and agriculture; to understand how ...


Scotty Creek 2.0: how interaction between rapidly thawing permafrost and wildfire affect peatland complex trace gas exchanges
Principal Investigator: Sonnentag, Oliver
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5532. The objective of the research project is to elucidate the change in the atmospheric carbon balance of thawing permafrost regions post-disturbance. The impact of disturbances such as fire, especially in conjunction with permafrost thaw, are still not well understood. By installing a new 15-m eddy covariance tower at Sc...
