A Program to Evaluate Changing Northern Lake Ice Regimes
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5155. The objective of this project is to complete on ice snow depth, ice thickness and composition survey along with collection under ice core water quality information. Sample locations from previous years are located using a handheld GPS. On ice snow depth is measured using a tape measure. An ice auger is used to pene...

The objective/purpose of this work is to address questions raised by various parties during the Inuvialuit Energy Security Project (IESC). The methods or activities to be undertaken for each of the field study components are as follows: 1. Archaeological Impact Assessment of one (1) area less than 500 sq metres - ...


Impact of climate change on catchment biogeochemistry in plains and shield regions
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2021 2019 2018
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4734. The objective of this research is to identify impacts of climate change and permafrost thaw on pond methane emissions, and on water chemistry in streams that drain peatland-rich catchments. Impacts on methane emissions will be assessed. Specific objectives are: 1) to characterize the trends and variability in magn...


Impacts of Permafrost Thaw Slump Extent, Severity and Persistence on Stream Biotic Health
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2021
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4985. The objectives of this project are to investigate impacts of permafrost slumping on water quality, benthic macroinvertebrate communities, fish communities and ecosystem function by (a) advancing research on previously studied thaw slumps within the Stony Creek Watershed and include unstudied (for biotic metrics) thaw ...


Characterizing the sensitivity and response of freshwater systems to permafrost thaw in the Western Canadian arctic
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2021 2021 2020 2019 2018
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4934. The purpose of this study is to develop a method of characterizing the sensitivity and response of streams and rivers to regional variability in permafrost thaw in the Beaufort Delta Region, Western Canadian Arctic. All of the field team members are from within the NWT. This field program will follow the attached E...


Regional variability in the water quality of streams along the Dempster and Inuvik-to-Tuktoyaktuk Highway corridor
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2020
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4743. The objective of this project is to compare and contrast the water quality of three watersheds with contrasting climatic and landscape characteristics, with the aim of identifying the climatic factors and landscape features that drive the water quality of streams located along the Dempster and Inuvik-to-Tuktoyaktuk Hi...


ITH Metal Chemistry
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2019
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4544. The objectives of this research are: 1) To investigate the environmental chemistry of the borrow pits and immediate surrounding areas to determine what, if any, environmental risk do the elevated concentrations represent; 2) To investigate the environmental chemistry of an undisturbed area around the Inuvik to Tukto...


NSERC Canadian Lake Pulse Network: more than 660 Canadian lakes sampled over three summers.
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2019
Résumé: The objective of this project is to evaluate and compare complex and abundant lake ecosystems. This will be addressed through answering these 4 core questions: 1. Where, by how much and why Canadian lakes have changed during the last centuries? 2. How do taxonomic, molecular and biochemical features of planktonic, benthic and microbial communities change with lake alteration and which ones can...


How will fish communities in Gwich’in and Inuvialuit lakes respond to climate change?
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2019 2018 2017
Résumé: The purpose of this project is to obtain baseline data for fish communities in Gwich’in Settlement Area (GSA) and Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) lakes and use these data to predict future changes in fish communities caused by climate change. Specific objectives are: 1) to develop a baseline data set for fish populations, fish habitat, water quality, and water temperature for small and m...


Impact of ferry landings on water quality and traditional fish harvesting in the Mackenzie and Peel Rivers
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2019 2018
Résumé: Fishing is an important part of the Gwich’in way of life. Concerns in the Gwich’in communities of Fort McPherson and Tsiigehtchic have arisen with regards to the use of granular material in ferry landings. Anthropogenic sediment from ferry landings has the potential to alter river ecology downstream thus impacting valuable fish habitat. This objectives of this project are to determine the impa...
