Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5822.
The objectives of this project are:
(1) To develop, deploy, and refine low-cost sensors to measure green house gas (GHG) concentrations.
(2) To identify GHG concentration patterns within snowpacks at a landscape scale (1 to 10 square km).
(3) To optimise winter carbon cycling in climate models, and scale up simula...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5463.
The objectives of this project are to develop improved understanding of, and ability to predict, snowcover properties from numerical models used to simulate climate and hydrology in northern regions; to consider the integrated effect of climate on vegetation, snow, permafrost, and lakes; and, to develop improved predi...

The active layer is the earth overlying permafrost that thaws from the surface and re-freezes each year, and it responds to climate change. Active layer thickness influences vegetation and soil conditions, potentially influencing hunting, forestry, etc. and it’s, thickness, texture and moisture content affects foundations. Changes in the active layer and thaw depth can contribute to slope instabil...

Summary:
The Mackenzie Delta is sensitive to both climate warming and human development. This project will contribute to a better understanding of ground temperatures in the Mackenzie Delta and will provide a baseline from which to assess future changes and cumulative impacts. Ground temperatures will be collected from the southern, central and outer delta regions.
In the summer, about 30 boreholes (l...
