Black Spruce Fertility at the Arctic Treeline
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2009
Résumé: The research objective is to show that the fertility of black spruce (Picea mariana) in the Arctic is limited by the amount of pollen in the surrounding air. After snowmelt, the researchers will choose unburned black spruce “islands” at different distances from the perimeter of the 1999 Lynx Creek fire. Subsequently, as the developing black spruce pollen cones become easy to see, they will remo...

Do the Mosquitoes in the NWT have Wolbachia?
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2008
Résumé: The objective of this research is to collect mosquitoes from the Inuvik area and perform a set of genetic tests to see if they are infected with a particular bacterium called Wolbachia. This bacterium is harmless to humans but affects the mating process of mosquitoes by killing the sperm of an infected male. A presence of Wolbachia has not been detected in the NWT as of yet, but if detected coul...

Biological Studies of Waters Along the Proposed Mackenzie Gas Project Pipeline Route - Gwich'in Settlement Region
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2009 2008 2007 2006
Résumé: 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...

Loche Liver Study
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2008 2007
Résumé: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application # 778. This research will examine the livers of Loche fish in the GSA. This research will be completed through: 1) field collection of loche in each of the GSA communities; 2) biological sampling of loche; 3) analysis of stomach health and aging (using isotopes). More specifically, biological measurements will be taken for ea...

Impacts of Oil and Gas Activity on the Peoples in the Arctic Using a Multiple Securities Perspective
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2008
Résumé: This project seeks to identify and measure specific characteristics of plants to determine the current baseline conditions of the vegetation, collect grass samples to test for different species of fungi and integrate traditional knowledge of environmental systems with current biological sampling. Transects (a long straight line) will be measured out from the edge of a road to about 1 km away fr...

Recent changes in carbon source-sink relationships and greenhouse gas emissions in forest and peatland ecosystems along the Mackenzie Valley region of Canada
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007
Résumé: The objective of this research is to assess variations and processes controlling CO2, CH4 and N2O dynamics along the Mackenzie Valley, to investigate the amount and character of greenhouse gases released, and to understand conditions controlling soil GHG emissions. Soil gas sample tubes will be sampled on a seasonal basis for gas concentration (CH4, N2O, CO2) and isotope ratios. The response of...

Traditional knowledge on Loche
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2007
Résumé: This project is divided into two phases: Year 1: Traditional knowledge interviews (this licence) will be conducted in each of the four GSA communities. The objective is to document traditional knowledge about loche biology and loche liver condition. Specifically, questions will be asked about loche spawning, movements, predator-prey relationships, habitat, historic changes, loche livers and tra...

Testing molecular and otolith tools to investigate population-of-origin and migration in Arctic cisco found in the Colville River, Alaska
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2008 2007
Résumé: This study aims to use genetic markers and otolith microchemistry to determine if differences exist between putative Arctic cisco spawning aggregations in tributaries of the Mackenzie River (Peel and Arctic Red rivers); and, if differences do exist, to use this information to identify population-of-origin for fish caught in the Colville River subsistence fishery. During the summer or fall (1 Au...

Travaillant Lake Fish Population Assessment 2007
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2007 2006
Résumé: The objective of this project is to assess the fish population of Travaillant Lake. Once in the summer and again during the fall, field crews will use experimental gill nets with varying mesh sizes to capture a representative sample of species and sizes within species in Travaillant Lake and at two locations in the Travaillant River. The lake sampling site will be located on the southwest shor...
