Principal Investigator: Quinton, William L.
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5521. The long-term objective of this research programme is to improve the understanding, parameterisation and prediction of water flow and storage processes in peatland-dominated, thawing, discontinuous permafrost. Over the next 5 years, significant progress toward this long term objective will be made through the follo...

Principal Investigator: Wright, Stephanie
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5294. The purpose of this study has four objectives: 1) Assess the spatial and temporal patterns of hydrologic change (groundwater and surface water) in the La Martre River and Trout River catchments (O1); 2) Identify the drivers, processes, and feedbacks responsible for the hydrologic changes identified in O1 and how they ...

Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4726. The specific scientific objectives are to: 1) develop fundamental knowledge of the major ecosystems and estimate the amount of water present. The watershed responses to changes in permafrost and the rate and trajectory of such changes will also be examined; 2) develop and test a new suite of hydrological predictive to...

Summary: This study is a continuation of a project that began in 2001. The researchers are studying the flow and storage of water in the Scotty Creek watershed. The data they collect will help them to create a model that will do a better job of estimating the volume and timing of basin runoff in wetlands in discontinuous permafrost terrain. The information they have collected so far suggests that peat p...

Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Donald D.
Licensed Year(s): 1995
Summary: The T.E.K. component of the study will involve a series of interviews with residents in the Liard River basin. These interviews will be conducted by an interviewer who is competent in English and Slavey. The interviews will be recorded on audio tape and transcribed later onto the questionaire and maps. The communities will be provided with copies of all raw and summarized information....

Principal Investigator: Prowse, T.D.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: Spring breakup in Northern Rivers are often associated with record water levels and often lead to flooding. Present methods of forecasting the severity of these events are hampered by lack of understanding. The acquired knowledge and understanding obtained from these studies will be applied to the enhancement of suitable models for predicting the time and magnitude of these events....

Principal Investigator: Smith, Daniel W.
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To sample treated and untreated domestic water supplies for physical and chemical analysis, (e.g. turbidity, color, temperature and trace elements analysis, e.g. lead, zinc, silver and cadmium)....

Principal Investigator: Grey, Bryan J.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: 1. To obtain relative sediment loadings in the Liard River and the Mackenzie River above and below its junction with the Liard. 2. To measure spring and summer flow patterns in the Liard River at several sites along the propsoed Liard higway....
