Effects of snowpack temporal and physical properties affect wintertime carbon fluxes in Arctic landscapes
Principal Investigator: Rutter, Nick
Licensed Year(s): 2024
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...


IceBird Winter 2023
Principal Investigator: Krumpen, Thomas
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5486. IceBird Winter 2023 is part of a long-term sea ice observation program within the IceBird aircraft campaign series. IceBird was initiated in 2018 with the objective to ensure the long-term availability of a unique data record of direct sea-ice thickness observations to understand the role of the sea ice component for ...


CEAS
Principal Investigator: Rutter, Nick
Licensed Year(s): 2022
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...


Active Layer Monitoring Network in the Mackenzie Valley
Principal Investigator: Nixon, Frederick M
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: 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...


Examining Spatial and Temporal Variation of Ground Temperatures in the Mackenzie Delta, Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Kanigan, Julian
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006
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...
