UndercoverEisAgenten
Principal Investigator: Langer, Moritz
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5218. The aim of the citizen science project UndercoverEisAgenten is to study permafrost changes in the Arctic to raise awareness of these environmental changes and strengthen the data basis for science. Students from Moose Kerr School in Aklavik will design their own permafrost change related research questions and work wi...


Examining the impacts of climate and environmental change on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems of the Mackenzie region, NWT
Principal Investigator: Pisaric, Michael FJ
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009
Summary: This research will continue the long term objective of documenting and understanding the impacts of recent climate change on northern terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The short term objectives of my research for 2018 are: 1) to investigate the impacts of permafrost degradation and subsequent thaw slumping on freshwater ecosystems; 2) to examine the limnological implications of drained lakes on ...


Deltaic Lake Sediments as Recorders of Past Carbon Export from Arctic River Drainage Basins
Principal Investigator: Eglinton, Timothy I
Licensed Year(s): 2011 2009 2007
Summary: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application no. 955. The objective of this research is to collect sediment cores from the Mackenzie River Delta in order to study how the river has behaved in the past, and see if the researchers can detect recent changes due to thawing permafrost. More specifically, the goal is to determine whether the researchers can reconstruct past c...


Assessing Impacts of Permafrost Degradation on Community Infrastructure Due to Climate Change: Modeling, Simulation and Adaptation Costing
Principal Investigator: Zhou, Fuqun
Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: Structural infrastructure in northern communities is dependent on the permafrost layer for stability. The thawing and disappearance of the permafrost layer has accelerated in recent decades, damaging buildings and other infrastructure, and causing public...


Pemafrost and Sump Investigations in the Mackenzie Delta Region
Principal Investigator: Kokelj, Steven V
Licensed Year(s): 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 2000 1999
Summary: This research will investigate: A) the physical and chemical characteristics of permafrost in the Mackenzie Delta region to identify areas of ice-rich permafrost or thaw sensitive terrain. Second; B) the effect of permafrost degradation on water quality...
