ABoVE Permafrost Dynamics Observatory
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2019
Résumé: The objective of this project is to collect physical and geophysical measurements quantifying permafrost susceptibility to ABoVE's internationally-available dataset. Researchers can access these data to bolster understanding of environmental processes and the ability to remotely-sense these on a regional scale. Airborne remote sensing missions from August 2017, 2018, and August of 2019 by NASA'...

What Good Consultation with Indigenous Peoples Means: Inuvialuit Research Regarding Climate Change, the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline and the Inuvialuit Land Claim Agreement
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2019
Résumé: The methods used will be a mixed method approach consisting of literature review, interviews and focus groups. I will also incorporate Indigenous methodology, based on literature written by Indigenous scholars. At this point, it is unclear what that approach will be, though there is the general understanding that everything is related, and effects others in the interconnectedness of the cycle of...

Self-stabilization of thaw slumps
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2019
Résumé: The research team are studying the natural stabilization of thaw slumps in the aim to eventually develop adapted management strategies for infrastructure at risk. The specific objectives are to assess the variations of thaw slump stabilization across landscapes, regions, and climates; and to assess the positive and negative feedback effects controlling the natural stabilization of thaw slumps....

On-the-Land monitoring, youth engagement, and knowledge sharing of environmental change
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2019
Résumé: Research will be conducted through shared on-the-land experiences with researchers and community members as well as focus groups within the communities and/or on-the-land. This includes interactive experiences in traditional knowledge as it arises from “way of life” practices on-the-land, consideration of knowledge and its communication at different scales and from different sources, and science-b...

Large wood transport in the Mackenzie River Basin
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2019
Résumé: The objectives of this project are to understand the dynamics of large wood transport in the Mackenzie River and Delta by identifying the locations of wood sources and deposition, and quantifying the amount of wood that reaches the delta and the processes affecting wood transport. Using this knowledge, the research team can make estimates of carbon transport to the Arctic and improve global models...

Reconstructing history of hummocky soil formation in drunken forest
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2019 2018 2017
Résumé: “Drunken forest” is developed on earth hummocks on shallow permafrost layer near Inuvik, Canada. Black spruce forests are typically grown on the shoulder of mounds and tree rings record the history of soil movement. By reading tree rings, The Principal Investigator (PI) is planning to reconstruct history of hummocky soil formation. The PI will collect tree core samples by making a hole in wood...

How will fish communities in Gwich’in and Inuvialuit lakes respond to climate change?
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2019 2018 2017
Résumé: The purpose of this project is to obtain baseline data for fish communities in Gwich’in Settlement Area (GSA) and Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) lakes and use these data to predict future changes in fish communities caused by climate change. Specific objectives are: 1) to develop a baseline data set for fish populations, fish habitat, water quality, and water temperature for small and m...

Remote Sensing and Geophysics of Tundra Landscapes
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2019 2018
Résumé: The proposed project will investigate the possibility of linking field-measured characteristics of tundra landscapes (e.g., active layer thickness, soil moisture, plant distribution and ecosystem composition, etc.) with remotely-sensed data. The overall objective of the project is to identify the connections that exist between observable surface properties and their associated subsurface/permafros...

Implications of Environmental Securitization on Sustainable Development of the Beaufort Sea Coastline
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2018
Résumé: This research project will attempt to determine if one of the Canadian federal government’s primary policy approaches to exert its authority over its Arctic territories and territorial waters has been to ‘securitize’ environmental issues that it perceives as vulnerabilities or risks to the state. Ultimately, the purpose of this research project is to determine the degree at which environmental sec...
