Understanding the cumulative impacts of beaver activity on stream health in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region
Principal Investigator: Musetta-Lambert, Jordan
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5936. The broad research question is: How will beaver activity in the tundra impact aquatic ecosystem health? This will be answered by addressing the following specific objectives and questions: Generate an understanding of beaver activity impacts on aquatic food webs in tundra streams. Question 1: How does beaver activit...


Impacts of Permafrost Thaw Slump Extent, Severity and Persistence on Stream Biotic Health
Principal Investigator: Musetta-Lambert, Jordan
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4985. The objectives of this project are to investigate impacts of permafrost slumping on water quality, benthic macroinvertebrate communities, fish communities and ecosystem function by (a) advancing research on previously studied thaw slumps within the Stony Creek Watershed and include unstudied (for biotic metrics) thaw ...


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...


Impact of ferry landings on water quality and traditional fish harvesting in the Mackenzie and Peel Rivers
Principal Investigator: Gray, Derek K
Licensed Year(s): 2019 2018
Summary: Fishing is an important part of the Gwich’in way of life. Concerns in the Gwich’in communities of Fort McPherson and Tsiigehtchic have arisen with regards to the use of granular material in ferry landings. Anthropogenic sediment from ferry landings has the potential to alter river ecology downstream thus impacting valuable fish habitat. This objectives of this project are to determine the impa...


Biological studies of waters along the proposed Mackenzie Gas Pipeline route - Gwich'in Settlement Region
Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008 2007 2006
Summary: While data collected during the Environmental Impact Assessment studies (carried out in conjunction with the proposed construction and operation of the Mackenzie Gas Pipeline) are relatively comprehensive in describing the major physical-chemical features of the aquatic environment, they are lacking in the descriptions of the biological features of these environments, and as a consequence, their s...


Methods development of acute toxicity testing using marine invertebrates from the Canadian arctic.
Principal Investigator: Gandia, Ruben
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: Clean and contaminated sediments, effluent and liquid municipal waste, and selected species of amphipods will be collected by government and non-government researchers as other field research is conducted. All collections will be shipped to the Beak laboratory for analyses. Testing will involve a measurement of the contaminants in the sediments as well as measuring the degree of toxicity that th...


Longterm examination of abiotic and biotic influences on the community structure of stream invertebrates. Mackenzie Delta area.
Principal Investigator: Bailey, Robert C.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To sample the organisms living on rock surfaces (benthic invertebrates) in at least 25 streams fo the Mackenzie Delta area. The number of species present and their relative abundance will be estimated and correlated with environmental factors such as the stream size and flow rate. Habitat data will also be collected at each site....
