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 ...

Thaw flows and ground ice investigation in sediments in Fort McPherson region, NWT
Principal Investigator: LAURIOL, Bernard
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: The main goal of this project is to determine the distribution, nature and origin of three thaw flows and the ground ice bodies in the Fort McPherson region. The results will be useful to understand similar features present along the Richardson Mountains. The researchers plan to spend a full week in the Fort McPherson region to sample the ice and the sediment. The field camp will be based at th...

Active Layer Monitoring Network in the Mackenzie Valley
Principal Investigator: Nixon, Fredrick 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 goal of this research is to understand how the active layer, which overlies the permafrost and thaws and re-freezes every year, will respond to environmental change, including climate warming. Active layer thickness can influence hunting, fishing, gathering and forestry through vegetation and soil conditions. The character of the active layer affects transportation and construction, while chan...

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...

Reconstruction of Holocene Environments
Principal Investigator: Begin, Christian
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The research team will investigate a few localities to determine the best sites to study eolian deposits (sand dunes) and features related to permafrost degradation. Samples of granular and organic deposits will be taken....
