Watershed-scale geomorphic response to climate change in the Aklavik Range, NWT
Principal Investigator: Strauss, Justin Vincent
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5411. or this latest phase of research, the research team propose to integrate field observations, geochemical techniques, and historical remote sensing analysis to quantify the rates and processes by which sediment is generated from bedrock and transported downslope via hillslope and river processes under a changing climat...


Quantification of carbon fluxes and ecosystem characteristics in permafrost regions with a special focus on the impact of degradation processes
Principal Investigator: Goeckede, Mathias
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5279. As part of the European Research Council (ERC)-synergy project Q-Arctic, the research team plan to investigate biogeochemical and biogeophysical processes along transects following landscape gradients. Such gradients include natural variability within heterogeneous permafrost landscapes (e.g. a transect from dry uploa...


CoMet 2.0 Arctic
Principal Investigator: Fix, Andreas
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5211. This project will use aircraft-based instruments using both remote-sensing and in-situ-techniques to carry out measurements of methane and carbon trace gases and tracers related to their emissions. The results will help to better understand the global methane and carbon cycle. This mission makes use of the German r...


Development of a Biological Monitoring Program to Detect Change in Stream Health Along the Dempster–Inuvik–Tuktoyaktuk-Corridor
Principal Investigator: Musetta-Lambert, Jordan
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5323. The purpose of this project is to establish a stream biomonitoring program along the Dempster–Inuvik–Tuktoyaktuk-Corridor to understand the current environmental conditions associated with past and newly developed road infrastructure. The research team will establish a stream biomonitoring program for the Inuvik to Tu...


Measuring surface displacement using winter SAR
Principal Investigator: Rabus, Bernhard
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5270. The objective of this research is to determine the accuracy of existing physical models of the InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) dry snow signal; and, if the snow signature can be removed to enable accurate measurement of heave from winter refreezing in the active layer. There are currently three res...


NASA Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) Airborne Initiative 2022
Principal Investigator: Miller, Charles E
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5304. The extended ABoVE Study Area includes most of northwestern North America west of Hudson Bay and north and east of the coastal mountain ranges. It encompasses the variability in the key types of ecosystems that are both unique to arctic and boreal regions in North America as well as being representative of the larger ...


PALEO-THAW: Unlocking records of past permafrost thaw through isotopes of fossil bones
Principal Investigator: Murton, Julian B
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5255. The main objective of the project is to establish the causes of the major changes in sulphur isotopes recorded in fossil bones of mammals at the end of the ice age. To achieve this, the research team will test the working hypothesis that major changes in fossil bone collagen sulphur are linked to changing biogeochemic...


The Effect of Channel Network Geometry of Nitrate Removal in Arctic Deltas
Principal Investigator: Knights, Deon Hanley
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4926. To improve the understanding of biogeochemical cycling in arctic deltas, the principal investigator (PI) propose fieldwork to characterize nitrate processing rates across a range of streams and lakes on the Mackenzie delta. This field expedition will primarily consist of the following three methods: 1) solute trac...


Terrain factors influencing the water quality of peatland streams along the Inuvik-to-Tuktoyaktuk Highway
Principal Investigator: Hille, Erika C
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5295. The objective of this project is to examine the oxygen (d18O) and hydrogen (d2H) isotopic compositions of stream water and precipitation for 11 peatland stream watersheds along the Inuvik-to-Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH). This information will be used to understand the hydrology of the contributing watershed. In particula...


Soundscape ecology to assess environmental controls on wildlife
Principal Investigator: Boelman, Natalie
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5265. The project objective is to install 3 Automated Recording Units (ARUs) that will collect daily audio recordings that will allow the research team to understand how variation in environmental conditions affect habitat use by birds. In April, the team will temporarily attach 3 ARUs onto 3 trees (using bungee cord or ...
