202120202019 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5181.
The combined temperature and active layer monitoring network extends from Fort Simpson to the Arctic Coast. With monitoring instrumentation already in place through work under previous licenses, the main work of this phase will be data collection. While different parts of the network can be visited at different times ...

2006 Summary:
The main objective of this project is to improve the understanding of triggering factors and slope failure mechanisms of landslides in the Mackenzie Valley. This knowledge will enable better environmental impact assessments of new infrastructure projects proposed in the region.
Investigations carried out in 2006 will continue with detailed mapping of landslides. Soil sampling will also be condu...

Summary:
Gaps exist in the Mackenzie monitoring network in the permafrost zones north of Norman Wells, the Mackenzie Delta region and shorelines and coastlines. Enhancement of the network is essential to provide baseline information for developments such as pipelines, highways and power lines, and to assess the impact of such development and/or climate change on the environment. In this project, temperatur...

Summary:
The main objectives of the field reconnaissance at landslide sites are as follows:
o To visit landslide sites that exhibit on-going movement in order to qualify the rate of movement;
o To identify main failure mechanisms and factors that contributed to slope failures;
o To validate previous data collected through airphoto interpretation and remote sensing techniques;
o To collect soil samples ...

Summary:
The objective is to improve knowledge about landslides in the Mackenzie Valley. The results of this study will enable better environmental impact assessments and help to reduce environmental impacts related to the construction and operation of the proposed Mackenzie Valley pipeline. As well, the results will have a broader application to a wide range of future development activities in the region....

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:
Researchers will assess fish habitat (by documenting the potential of waterbodies) and to determine the presence or absense of wildlife in the vicinity of the proposed project. A search for registered archaelogical sites within the proposed area will also be undertaken. Information from these studies will form part of an environmental assessment for the proposed project. Researchers will access...
