Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5323. The purpose of this project is to establish a stream biomonitoring program along the Dempster–Inuvik–Tuktoyaktuk-Corridor to understand the current environmental conditions associated with past and newly developed road infrastructure. The research team will establish a stream biomonitoring program for the Inuvik to Tu...

Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5130. The first objective of this research is to understand how ground temperatures vary within the highway embankment between the border on the Dempster Highway and the north end of the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway. The road surface varies little between these points and it is cleared in winter, so conditions should be un...

Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: The objectives are to collect Traditional Knowledge (TK) and fish harvest data from each community, and ensure that each community is involved in interpreting the data collected. TK will be sought in relation to the historical use of the fishery resource, observed changes in fish abundance and health over time, observed changes in the river associated with the construction of the ferry landings, a...

Principal Investigator: Pearce, Tristan D
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005
Summary: The purpose of this project is to learn about the types of environmental changes Holman has faced in the past and how these changes have affected community infrastructure. The researcher seeks to describe community infrastructure and how it might be affected by environmental change. The researcher will identify who, or which agencies, will be expected to respond to risks affecting infrastructure a...

Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004 2003 2002
Summary: This project is a continuation of socio-economic and traditional knowledge studies in the Gwich'in Settlement Area, which were initiated in 2002 as part of the baseline studies and assessment for the Mackenzie Gas Project. The primary focus of the socio...

Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: Noise monitoring will be conducted at two potential sites for a compressor station near Travaillant Lake. These data will provide estimates of background ambient noise, which is needed before construction of the Mackenzie Gas Project. The proposed monit...

Summary: This project is a continuation of socio-economic and traditional knowledge studies in the Inuvialuit Settlement Area, which were initiated in 2002 as part of the baseline studies and assessment for the Mackenzie Gas Project. The primary focus of the soc...

Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002
Summary: The baseline noise monitoring program in the Gwich'in Settlement Area will be located at the proposed location of the potential gas compression facilities near Inuvik. The collected data will provide background estimates of ambient noise. This informatio...
