Impacts of Permafrost Thaw Slump Extent, Severity and Persistence on Stream Biotic Health
Principal Investigator: Musetta-Lambert, Jordan
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5613. The project with investigate impacts of permafrost slumping on water quality, benthic macroinvertebrate communities, fish communities and ecosystem function by advancing research on thaw slumps within the Stony Creek Watershed. The research team will directly collaborate with the Northwest Territories Geological Surve...


How does proximity to roadways impact water quality and invertebrates in Arctic lakes?
Principal Investigator: Gray, Derek K
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4966. The purpose of the proposed project is to improve the understanding of the effects of road development on lakes in Canada’s north. To achieve this purpose, the research team will pursue two objectives: 1) to determine if changes in water quality caused by road dust affects invertebrate communities (bugs and waterfleas...


Biological Studies of Waters Along the Proposed Mackenzie Gas Project Pipeline Route - Gwich'in Settlement Region
Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008 2007 2006
Summary: This licence is issued for the scientific research application # 835. This research will examine lakes possibly affected by the proposed Mackenzie Gas Project pipeline, and lakes that can serve as future control/reference sites. Measurements of nutrients and metals in lake water and sediments, lake water quality (DO, pH, conductivity, etc.), and benthic invertebrate and plankton abundance/spec...


Genetic Diversity in the Biota of Arctic Lakes
Principal Investigator: Hebert, Paul
Licensed Year(s): 1997
Summary: Our research will involve the survey of zooplankton communities in lakes and ponds of the Mackenzie Delta area (Inuvialuit private lands). Samples will be collected by either wading in ponds or by towing at net behind a float equipped helicopter. Samples will be frozen in liquid nitrogen, and subsequently examined for genetic variation. Our work aims to establish the species diversity of zoopla...


Ecology of the Marine Copepod, "Limnocalanus", in Relation to Bowhead Feeding Sites along the Yukon Coast
Principal Investigator: Sekarak, Aaron
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Dr. Sekarak and his team will be collecting samples of plankton and ocean water from the Canadian Beaufort Sea coastline. These samples will be brought back to the Inuvik laboratory for analysis. At Shingle Point, the researchers will also be recording weather conditions and the temperature, clarity, and salt content of the ocean. They hope to use this information to find out more about importa...


Ecology and population genetics of freshwater invertebrates of the Arctic.
Principal Investigator: Boileau, Marc G.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987 1986
Summary: To investigate the ecology and population genetics of crustacean zooplankton; to study the genetic diversity of the major species of copepods and their dispersal since deglaciation; to clarify the taxonomy and improve distribution records....
