Summary: Field research for 2012 will concentrate on two tasks: 1) Continued characterization of gas seeps observed and reported by the National Energy Board, Geological Survey of Canada and Inuvialuit. 2) Data logger (water temperature, level, conductivity and dissolved oxygen) retrieval and redeployment. The objectives of this program are: 1. to collect water and gas samples by-hand for subsequent la...

Summary: This study is designed to fill science gaps in Environment Canada’s understanding of the structure and functioning of the aquatic environment potentially impacted by various aspects of the Mackenzie Gas Project. While data collected during the Environmental Impact Assessment studies (carried out in conjunction with the proposed construction and operation of the Mackenzie Gas Pipeline) are relative...

Summary: The development of oil and gas in the Mackenzie Delta and Mackenzie Valley will require additional seismic surveying to refine the location and extent of reserves. One method that has been proposed is the use of airgun arrays towed behind survey ships in...

Principal Investigator: Fabijan, Michael F
Licensed Year(s): 2004 2003
Summary: This study will focus on collecting information from Inuvialuit elders and harvesters, both male and female. 20-25 members from each community will be interviewed. The area of concern will be the lease area (EL 420) and adjacent lands, including Pelly Is...

Principal Investigator: Tait, Matthew P.
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: Oil and gas extraction in permafrost areas causes vertical surface displacements that have in the past caused serious environmental issues, such as massive subsidence and land slides. Methods of monitoring such vertical subsidence are accurate, but rely...

Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002
Summary: Noise monitoring will be conducted at the proposed location of potential facilities near Inuvik as well as at select potential locations for infrastructure, access roads and granular resources in the Gwich'in Settlement Area where there is the potential...

Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004 2003 2002
Summary: These terrestrial studies will include vegetation and soils investigations. The primary goals are to classify vegetation, landforms, soils and permafrost in the project area, to identify locations of rare plants and uncommon plant communities in the pro...

Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: Noise monitoring will be conducted at two potential sites for a compressor station near Travaillant Lake. These data will provide estimates of background ambient noise, which is needed before construction of the Mackenzie Gas Project. The proposed monit...
