Examining the impacts of climate change on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems of the Mackenzie region, NWT
Principal Investigator: Pisaric, Michael FJ
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009
Summary: Climate change and industrial contaminants are two principal concerns for Arctic residents. The objectives of this research are to examine the impacts of climate and environmental change on freshwater ecosystems in the Inuvik region across a variety of spatial and temporal scales. Specifically, the team is examining the impacts of permafrost degradation and subsequent thaw slumping on freshwater e...

Treeline Dynamics in Western Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Green, Scott
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008
Summary: The project will examine past tree growth patterns at the northern treeline in Western Canada as a baseline to predict future growth responses to climate change. Additionally, the researchers will examine tree regeneration and plant associations at the northern treeline. Annual tree rings represent a growth response to local climate. Wide growth rings represent good growing conditions, and nar...

Post-glacial treeline change in the Campbell-Dolomite Uplands of the Inuvik area
Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Glen M
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: As part of an on-going study, this research will involve collecting cores from trees located in the Campbell-Dolomite Uplands (near Campbell Lake). This data will be added to data collected in other locations (past studies) in order to determine how past climate has influenced the growth of trees (as indicated by tree rings within the tree trunk). The research is helpful in trying to understand ...

Climatic Change at the Forest-Tundra Boundary
Principal Investigator: Landhaeusser, Simon M.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: To determine the maximum size of treeline tree species in a burned and unburned valley in the Caribou Hills, the mass of standing trees on different slopes and aspects will be estimated and related to the energy input. In 1992 the plots prepared in 1990 and planted and seeded in 1991, will be revisited and measurement of growth for the second growing season will be taken....
