Nutrient and contaminant status in the wetlands of the Slave River Delta
Principal Investigator: Doig, Lorne
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5337. The objective is to answer key questions: 1. From the outer SRD (river-water dominated) to the apex of the SRD (runoff dominated), what is the current status of nutrients and contaminants in SRD wetland ecosystems? 2. How do trace elements (e.g., mercury) move through SRD wetland food webs? 3. How does water source...


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...


Identifying habitats that influence body condition and fitness of adult female caribou in the southern Northwest Territories [traditional knowledge component
Principal Investigator: Kelly, Allicia
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5351. The objectives of this project are to describe different plants and vegetation communities that offer different nutritional value to boreal caribou using both scientific language and traditional knowledge. The research team plan to create a plain-language document(s) that shares information on habitats, vegetation com...


Wetland status, change, and seasonal inundation dynamics for assessing the vulnerability of waterfowl habitat within the ABoVE study domain
Principal Investigator: French, Nancy H
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5205. The main project goal is to characterize changes in waterfowl habitat using remote sensing approaches developed during prior NASA ABoVE research campaigns. The first objective is to create wetland type and surface inundation products (maps) for the ABoVE boreal region. The second objective is to assess the efficacy of...


CoMet 2.0 Arctic
Principal Investigator: Fix, Andreas
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5211. This project will use aircraft-based instruments using both remote-sensing and in-situ-techniques to carry out measurements of methane and carbon trace gases and tracers related to their emissions. The results will help to better understand the global methane and carbon cycle. This mission makes use of the German r...


NASA Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) Airborne Initiative 2022
Principal Investigator: Miller, Charles E
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5304. The extended ABoVE Study Area includes most of northwestern North America west of Hudson Bay and north and east of the coastal mountain ranges. It encompasses the variability in the key types of ecosystems that are both unique to arctic and boreal regions in North America as well as being representative of the larger ...


Rocher River Town Site ESA
Principal Investigator: Bandler, Paul
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5297. The field program aims to fill gaps previously identified to support a human health and ecological risk assessment, as well as remedial/risk management options analysis and associated cost estimation for the Site. A Phase III Environmental Site Assessment will be completed to delineate environmental impacts, collect b...


Climate and human-mediated range shifts of plants in the NWT, Canada, and impacts to native plant and soil communities
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...


NTPC Little Buffalo and Slave River Walleye Habitat Study
Principal Investigator: Miller, Matthew
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5199. The objectives of the study will be to identify the locations and fish habitat where Walleye spawn on the Little Buffalo and Slave Rivers to determine the timing period for migration and spawning in these areas. The Study would involve fisheries technical experts, academics, and local groups (e.g. Aboriginal Aquatic R...


Sources and fate of microplastics in Great Slave Lake
Principal Investigator: Bourdages, Madelaine
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5224. The first objective of this project is to quantify microplastic concentration and composition in water, sediment, zooplankton, and air around Great Slave Lake. The second objective of this project is to examine if microplastic concentrations are greater near communities than the open water of Great Slave Lake. The thi...
