Identifying sources of mercury in Arctic rivers
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2019 2018
Résumé: The goal of this project is to identify and quantify (measure) the different possible sources of toxic mercury that is transported in rivers of the Mackenzie River basin, all the way down to the Beaufort Sea. In particular, the research team want to establish how much mercury comes from "modern" sources (like distant air pollution, runoff from rain/snow, wash-out from surface soils, etc.) and how ...

Cultural and Environmental History of Northern Food Hazards
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2016 2015
Résumé: This research seeks to understand whether concerns about environmental contamination or potentially hazardous food products (included imported foods) influenced women’s decisions about how to feed newborn infants after 1970. More broadly, the research team seeks to understand what factors (social, cultural, economic, environmental) influenced choices about feeding infants in the Mackenzie Delta r...

CSI Husky Lakes – Evaluation of hydro-climatic drivers of contaminant transfer in aquatic food webs in the Husky Lakes Watershed
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2013 2012 2011
Résumé: The overall goals are to: 1. Provide baseline information on contaminant levels, incorporate Traditional Knowledge, and jointly plan future monitoring based on these and other resources; 2. Build capacity locally by providing training in sampling and monitoring techniques to local persons, and; 3. Establish a monitoring plan that incorporates science and TK-based data which provides information...

Examining the impacts of climate change on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems of the Mackenzie region, NWT
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009
Résumé: Climate change and industrial contaminants are two principal concerns for Arctic residents. The objectives of this research are to examine the impacts of climate and environmental change on freshwater ecosystems in the Inuvik region across a variety of spatial and temporal scales. Specifically, the team is examining the impacts of permafrost degradation and subsequent thaw slumping on freshwater e...

Arctic Wastewater Research
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2012 2011 2010 2009
Résumé: The objective of this research is to assess the performance of lagoons and wetlands in the treatment of municipal wastewater in Canada's Arctic. A secondary objective is to determine the occurrence of trace contaminants in northern wastewaters. Samples will be taken from the influent (raw sewage) and effluent (treated wastewater) select wastewater systems. Samples will be taken during the perio...

Mercury Input to the Beaufort Sea from the Mackenzie River
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2010
Résumé: The long-term goal of the research program is to quantify the annual mass delivery of total mercury (THg; all forms of mercury in a sample) and methylmercury (MeHg) from the Mackenzie River to the Beaufort Sea. Accurate annual mercury (Hg) fluxes are currently not available from the Mackenzie River and represent a key, unmeasured source of Hg to the Beaufort Sea marine ecosystem. The specific ob...
