THAWPOND-NWT – Remote sensing analysis of vegetation and thaw pond colour dynamics in the continuous permafrost zone: from local to regional (Northwest Territories, Arctic Canada)
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2023
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5639. The goal of this research project is to better understand the characteristics of various different lakes, how their characteristics vary, as well as their potential relation to permafrost thaw events in the recent or distant past. The frequency of occurrence across space and time as well as the variability of: 1) opt...


Arctic Great Rivers Observatory 4
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2024 2023 2022 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5441. The Arctic Great Rivers Observatory project studies the six largest rivers in the Arctic: the Mackenzie and Yukon Rivers in North America, and the Ob', Yenisey, Lena, and Kolyma Rivers in Russia. The research team are interested in understanding how climate change is impacting Arctic rivers. The team take measurements...


Permafrost in the western Arctic
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4663. The primary objectives of this research are: 1) to develop and test new methods of monitoring permafrost landscape change; 2) to investigate the impacts of natural and human disturbance on permafrost terrain and the ground temperature conditions in natural environments and in communities; and 3) to assess the physical...


Sensitivities of high-latitude lakes to climatic & development disturbances
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2008 2007 2006 2005
Résumé: The objective of this study is to develop a hydro-ecological model for small Arctic lakes to assess the vulnerability of their ecosystems to disturbances, such as climate change or water withdrawal. To quantify geochemical loadings to lakes, a model is being developed by monitoring lakes and their contributing catchment (surface water flow). A climate station will be set up at 2 - 6 sites to mo...


Active Layer Monitoring Network in the Mackenzie Valley
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Résumé: The active layer is the earth overlying permafrost that thaws from the surface and re-freezes each year, and it responds to climate change. Active layer thickness influences vegetation and soil conditions, potentially influencing hunting, forestry, etc. and it’s, thickness, texture and moisture content affects foundations. Changes in the active layer and thaw depth can contribute to slope instabil...


Climate Geochemistry
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2005 2004
Résumé: The purpose of this study is to collect river waters to determine the concentrations of dissolved organic carbon, particulate organic carbon, and nutrients, including nitrate, phosphate and silicate, and to examine their temporary variations related to c...


Vegetation Response to Global Warming in the Mackenzie River Basin: Interations Between Northern Boreal Forests, Wetlands and Regional Hydrology
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1992
Résumé: The Researcher will map the present distribution of boreal and subarctic wetlands in the Mackenzie River Basin. Wetland vegetation and water chemistry will be described for areas immediately surrounding permanent weather stations. The ecological relationships between climate, wetland water chemistry and wetland species distribution will be analyzed. A predictive indicator model will be built to pr...
