Connecting Indigenous Families in the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: McMahon, Rob
Licensed Year(s): 2025 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6003. Telecommunications services in remote communities of northern Canada are usually more expensive, slower, less available, less reliable, and of lower quality regarding service compared to their southern and urban counterparts. The global pandemic has further highlighted the digital divide and broadband service dispari...


Hydrology of Northern Latitudes
Principal Investigator: Marsh, Philip
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6164. The objectives of this project are unchanged from year 1 of this 5 year application, and are to: (1) develop improved understanding of, and ability to predict, the complex northern hydrologic system, (2) over the 30 year period of record, consider the integrated effect of the changing climate on vegetation, snow,...


Landscape Change in the Western Arctic
Principal Investigator: Lantz, Trevor C.
Licensed Year(s): 2025 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6190. 1) Use remote sensing (Landsat, QuickBird, InSAR, Airphotos, and Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems (RPAS)) to document regional landscape change (tundra fire, infrastructure, saline flooding, slumps, subsidence, vegetation change, lake drainage / expansion, etc.). 2) Use field sampling and monitoring to determine the c...

Principal Investigator: Smith, Sharon S
Licensed Year(s): 2025 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6180. This project continues the on-going monitoring program of the same title (Licence # 17182) Permafrost monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT). This phase of the project is largely data collection. Objectives are: • To provide baseline knowledge of permafrost ...


Community Review of the New Inuvialuit Living History Website
Principal Investigator: Hodgetts, Lisa
Licensed Year(s): 2025 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6188. The draft version of the new Inuvialuit Living History website will be ready in July of 2024. In August 2024, the team will visit Aklavik, Inuvik and Tuktuyaktok to seek community feedback on the website so that we can make any necessary changes before formally launching the site. Similar community visits are planned...


One Ocean Expedition II
Principal Investigator: Lehmkuhl, Foundation Statsaad
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6110. Our aim is to identify local Arctic challenges and make them visible on a wider public scale. We are interested in contributing to a better understanding of the Arctic biome and environment, as well as the future challenges local and global communities are facing by climate-driven changes in the Arctic. Research and ...


Understanding carbon and water fluxes in the forest-tundra ecotone across scales

Licensed Year(s): 2025 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6175. Our project brings together expertise from historically separated knowledge systems and scientific communities, integrating Indigenous perspectives with atmospheric biogeosciences, ecology, airborne remote sensing, and computer science. Our project builds on the collective desire to engage community members in knowle...


Oil Spill Fate, Transport, and Impact in Canadian Arctic Estuary and Shoreline with Case Studies in the Mackenzie River Delta and the Nearshore of the Beaufort Sea
Principal Investigator: Chen, Bing
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6156. Project Objectives: • The main objectives are 1) to understand the fate and behaviour of oil spills (fresh, weathered and dispersed) in the Arctic waters (Mackenzie Delta/Estuary on the coastal areas of the Beaufort Sea) with consideration of environmental drivers in the Arctic (e.g., bathymetry, air/water temperatu...


Studies of greenhouse gas release and environmental processes associated with thawing permafrost in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region
Principal Investigator: Morse, Peter D
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6143. The goals of this multi-year-long project are to assess greenhouse gas (methane and carbon dioxide) release from warming permafrost and tundra lakes in the ISR and to study associated carbon dynamics and microbiological processes, including the release of mercury to the environment. The second year (2025) of field...


Suspended sediment connectivity on the Mackenzie Delta: the first-order importance of channel–lake exchange
Principal Investigator: Habel, Michal
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6131. This project aims to map channel-lake hydrological connectivity within the delta plain and evaluate the efficiency of fine-grained sediment trapping dynamics by the channel-lake network, using the Big Lake complex in Inuvik as a case study. We aim to simulate current and potential scenarios of fine-grained sediment t...
