Impacts of Permafrost Thaw Slump Extent, Severity and Persistence on Stream Biotic Health
Principal Investigator: Musetta-Lambert, Jordan
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5613. The project with investigate impacts of permafrost slumping on water quality, benthic macroinvertebrate communities, fish communities and ecosystem function by advancing research on thaw slumps within the Stony Creek Watershed. The research team will directly collaborate with the Northwest Territories Geological Surve...


Permafrost slumping and land-water connections on the Peel Plateau
Principal Investigator: Tank, Suzanne E
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5249. The objective of this research is to understand how permafrost slumping increases the mobilization of carbon, nutrients, and toxins (mercury) from land to water, and the effects of this transport on stream ecosystems and the global carbon cycle. Over the next several years, the research team plan to measure stream che...


NWT-wide Community based Water Quality Monitoring
Principal Investigator: Somers, Gila L
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4762. Water Quality Monitoring equipment is deployed at over 40 sites across the NWT to address community concerns. Community members were trained to use the following equipment: • Sondes: sit in the water and measure basic water quality parameters every 2 hours for up to 3 months. Analysis undertaken at Environment and...


Community-based monitoring of whitefish in the lower Mackenzie River watershed
Principal Investigator: Hovel, Rachel A
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5062. The two primary objectives are to: 1) maintain a community-based monitoring program of luk dagaii (broad whitefish, Coregonus nasus; herein referred to as whitefish) in the Peel River watershed, based in the communities of Fort McPherson, Aklavik, and Tsiigehtchic. Specifically, the research team measure fundamental b...


Impact of climate change on catchment biogeochemistry in plains and shield regions
Principal Investigator: Olefeldt, David
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2019 2018
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4734. The objective of this research is to identify impacts of climate change and permafrost thaw on pond methane emissions, and on water chemistry in streams that drain peatland-rich catchments. Impacts on methane emissions will be assessed. Specific objectives are: 1) to characterize the trends and variability in magn...


Impacts of Permafrost Thaw Slump Extent, Severity and Persistence on Stream Biotic Health
Principal Investigator: Musetta-Lambert, Jordan
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4985. The objectives of this project are to investigate impacts of permafrost slumping on water quality, benthic macroinvertebrate communities, fish communities and ecosystem function by (a) advancing research on previously studied thaw slumps within the Stony Creek Watershed and include unstudied (for biotic metrics) thaw ...


Development of a Biological Monitoring Program to Detect Change in Stream Health Along the Dempster–Inuvik–Tuktoyaktuk-Corridor
Principal Investigator: Musetta-Lambert, Jordan
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4981. The main goal of this project is to establish a stream biomonitoring program along the Dempster-Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Corridor (DITC) to understand the current environmental conditions associated with past and newly developed road infrastructure. Specific objectives are to: 1. Establish a stream biomonitoring program...


Characterizing the sensitivity and response of freshwater systems to permafrost thaw in the Western Canadian arctic
Principal Investigator: Hille, Erika C
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2021 2020 2019 2018
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4934. The purpose of this study is to develop a method of characterizing the sensitivity and response of streams and rivers to regional variability in permafrost thaw in the Beaufort Delta Region, Western Canadian Arctic. All of the field team members are from within the NWT. This field program will follow the attached E...


Regional variability in the water quality of streams along the Dempster and Inuvik-to-Tuktoyaktuk Highway corridor
Principal Investigator: Hille, Erika C
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4743. The objective of this project is to compare and contrast the water quality of three watersheds with contrasting climatic and landscape characteristics, with the aim of identifying the climatic factors and landscape features that drive the water quality of streams located along the Dempster and Inuvik-to-Tuktoyaktuk Hi...


NSERC Canadian Lake Pulse Network: more than 660 Canadian lakes sampled over three summers.
Principal Investigator: Huot, Yannick
Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: The objective of this project is to evaluate and compare complex and abundant lake ecosystems. This will be addressed through answering these 4 core questions: 1. Where, by how much and why Canadian lakes have changed during the last centuries? 2. How do taxonomic, molecular and biochemical features of planktonic, benthic and microbial communities change with lake alteration and which ones can...
