Remote Sensing and Geophysics of Tundra Landscapes
Principal Investigator: Ullmann, Tobias
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5193. The research team will investigate the possibility of linking field-measured characteristics of tundra landscapes (e.g. active layer thickness, soil moisture, plant distribution and ecosystem composition, etc.) with remotely-sensed data. The overall objective of the project is to identify the connection that exist bet...


Assessment of the Western Arctic Boundary Current
Principal Investigator: Pickart, Robert S.
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5231. The main objective is to characterize the western Arctic Boundary current, which flows at the edge of the shelf, in order to understand its role in dictating shelf-basin exchange of water and materials and how it impacts the ecosystem of the region, including the occurrence of marine mammals. This project is a coll...


R/V Mirai Arctic Ocean cruise in 2022
Principal Investigator: KITAMURA (ITOH), Motoyo
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5177. The objective of this program is to monitor on-going Arctic changes, which are related to the recent global warming. Sea water measurements and plankton sampling are important to know oceanic ecosystem health because plankton are food for fish, seabirds and marine mammals. Microplastic pollution sampling and ocean wav...


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: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5220. The project of the present application is the continuation of year-round eddy covariance measurements of carbon, water and energy fluxes at Trail Valley Creek and Havikpak Creek, established in 2013. The key methodology is tower-mounted micrometeorological measurements around the eddy covariance technique using an ...


NWT-wide Community based Water Quality Monitoring
Principal Investigator: Somers, Gila L
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4762. Water Quality Monitoring equipment is deployed at over 40 sites across the NWT to address community concerns. Community members were trained to use the following equipment: • Sondes: sit in the water and measure basic water quality parameters every 2 hours for up to 3 months. Analysis undertaken at Environment and...


Permafrost and climate change, western Arctic Canada
Principal Investigator: Burn, Chris R
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5214. The objective is to continue monitoring change in ground temperatures, seasonal thaw depth (active layer), subsidence of the ground, change in vegetation, and thawing of ice wedges. The research team compare these data with the results of computer forecasts of how things may change with climate warming. The team hope ...


Beaufort Sea Geoscience Research Program: 2022 Activities
Principal Investigator: Hong, Jongkuk
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5183. The Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI), Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) are proposing to conduct the marine Research Program. The proposed Research Program includes ship-based surveys, geologic surveys and sampling,...


Organic carbon cycle in the Mackenzie delta lakes
Principal Investigator: Lattaud, Julie
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5187. The project will study the dynamics of deltaic lake ecosystems over the past century through the application of recently developed molecular (lipid biomarker) and isotopic (radiocarbon and stable isotopes) proxies to lake sedimentary records. This will unravel the impact of old carbon input into aquatic ecosystems. Ra...


Permafrost monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT
Principal Investigator: Smith, Sharon S
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5181. The combined temperature and active layer monitoring network extends from Fort Simpson to the Arctic Coast. With monitoring instrumentation already in place through work under previous licenses, the main work of this phase will be data collection. While different parts of the network can be visited at different times ...


Hydrothermal Regime of Riparian Terrain in Continuous Permafrost, Western Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Ensom, Timothy P
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5168. The specific objectives of the project are as follows: 1) Determine the spatial extent, distribution, and timing of winter icing events in streams along the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH) through ground-based and aerial reconnaissance of stream crossings; 2) Identify relations between physical watershed charact...
