Examining the impacts of climate and environmental change on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems of the Mackenzie region, NWT
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009
Résumé: 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 ...


Exploring the Effectiveness of Vegetation for Water Sewage Treatment
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2018
Résumé: The objective of this study is to assess the efficiency of the common cattail in the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus forms from wastewater to aid in the improvement of the sewage lagoon at the Inuvik Wastewater Treatment plant. Common cattail seeds will be placed in a germination chamber at Aurora Research Institute for four weeks, with watering and rotation of the plants being done twice a...


Community-based long-term monitoring of the Peel River near Fort McPherson
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2018 2017
Résumé: The objective of this research is to establish a community-based monitoring program in the Peel River watershed, based in Fort McPherson. Previous research has shown that multiple whitefish ecotypes (non-anadromous, semi-anadromous and anadromous, utilize the Peel River as spawning habitat, but it is unclear how much each ecotype contributes to harvester catches. As different ecotypes occupy d...


Radar Satellite Observations of Lake Ice Breakup and Freeze-up
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2017 2012 2010 2009
Résumé: This project aims to evaluate and develop the utility of Canada’s future RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) (launch 2018) for the monitoring of lake ice breakup and freeze-up. RCM-type radar images will be simulated using data from Canada’s current radar satellite – that is - RADARSAT-2. Validation data in the form of oblique aerial photographs are required to assess the accuracy of the image pr...


Polar Airborne Measurements and Arctic Regional Climate Model Simulation Project (PAMARCMIP)
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2017
Résumé: The observational platform will be a single aircraft, the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) POLAR 5, a modified DC-3 aircraft. Objectives of this project are to: 1. determine the actual state of the sea ice thickness distribution in the western Arctic and what are trends of the Sea Ice thinning; 2. characterize the actual sea ice thickness distribution and identify trends in the sea ice thickne...


Community-Based Water Quality Monitoring in the Northwest Territories
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013
Résumé: The purpose of the project is to work in collaboration with Northwest Territories (NWT) communities to collect water quality data to answer community concerns and questions about the health of NWT waters, to enhance understanding of cumulative impacts and to contribute to decision making. There are three associated objectives: 1) collect water quality data at locations throughout the NWT, to ...


Wind Energy Monitoring at Inuvik High Point (2015-2017)
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2018 2017 2016 2015 2015 2014 2013
Résumé: The objective of this wind monitoring proposal is to measure the wind energy potential at the Inuvik High Point (approximately 6 km northeast of the Inuvik airport) for two years. This is part of an alternative energy study for the Inuvik area. Wind data will be collected using instruments on a wind tower that will be installed at the site. Two full years of wind measurements and an economic analy...


Development and Testing of Climate Change Monitoring Equipment in the Arctic
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2016
Résumé: Data analysis will help the company to optimize the firmware, battery requirements and testing regimes needed and finalize products that can then be used in any type of remote and cold locations for extended periods with little or no equipment monitoring. Several eosFD devices (carbon dioxide monitoring equipment) will be tested to determine usability requirements and to select a winter test ...


Northern Sustainable House Data Analysis
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2016
Résumé: The analysis will be done on a data set that covers at least the time interval from October 2014 to November 2015. The following steps are proposed: 1. Pre-process of data: data quality, identification of outliers, missing data, faulty sensors. 2. Development of a working good data file. 3. Identification of the pattern of energy use such as the hourly, daily and monthly profiles. 4. Develo...


Climate driven permafrost degradation and its impact on slope failures
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2016 2015
Résumé: The objective of this research is to better understand the impact of climate driven permafrost degradation on slope instabilities and landslides in the region. This research will involve detailed investigation of both landslides that have occurred and slopes that are assessed for being at a high risk of failure. Soil samples will be taken by digging test pits within the active layer with hand ...
