Tundra shrub response to climate change-exacerbated disturbances
Principal Investigator: Baltzer, Jennifer L
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5567. This project has two primary objectives: 1) To investigate the differences in shrub productivity traits between undisturbed and disturbed tundra sites to better understand the impact of shrub expansion and disturbance on ecosystem function. 2) To investigate the impact of shrub productivity trait differences on deco...

Quantifying carbon fluxes and budgets of boreal forest-tundra landscapes under the influence of rapidly changing permafrost regimes
Principal Investigator: Sonnentag, Oliver
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013
Summary: The objectives of this research project are to: 1) determine if the net effect of permafrost thawing-induced biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks to the climate system; 2) determine how these two types of feedback differ between the discontinuous and continuous permafrost zones; 3) determine if the reported decrease (increase) in net CO2 (CH4) exchange based on plot- (<1m2) and ecosystem-scale...

Soil Carbon in the Mackenzie Delta Region
Principal Investigator: Phillips, Marcus R
Licensed Year(s): 2015 2014 2013
Summary: The goal of this research is to understand how landscape processes influence the quantity and quality of soil carbon in the Mackenzie Delta Region. Particular attention will be paid to the depth distribution of soil carbon and how it is affected by differences in vegetation and soil forming processes. Key environmental differences that will be examined include forest vs. tundra and delta vs. uplan...

A Multi-scale Assessment of Cumulative Impacts in the Northern Mackenzie Basin
Principal Investigator: Lantz, Trevor C.
Licensed Year(s): 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012
Summary: This project has three main objectives: Objective 1: To use satellite imagery (Landsat, QuickBird, InSAR, etc.) to document the rate and extent of landscape change (slumps, subsidence, vegetation change, etc.) in the northern Mackenzie Basin. To quantify landscape disturbances and vegetation regeneration patterns since 1985 Landsat satellite images will be obtained that will provide reflec...

Mapping and Modeling Carbon Flux in Northern Canada
Principal Investigator: Chen, Wenjun
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004
Summary: The objectives of the research are to become familiar with the vegetation and landforms of northern Canada, and to collect vegetation and biophysical data for ground truth of remote sensing and carbon modeling activities. The Dempster Highway provides a...
