Airborne Observations in Support of NETCARE
Principal Investigator: Abbatt, Jon
Licensed Year(s): 2015
Summary: The NETCARE observations will be covered the range from Longyearbyen, Svalbard (European Arctic) until Inuvik (NWT – Polar 6 aircraft only) and Barrow (Alaska – Polar 5 aircraft only). The observational platforms will be two aircraft: 1) the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) POLAR 5, a modified DC-3 aircraft; and 2) the AWI POLAR 6, also a modified DC-3 aircraft. The two platforms will be coordin...


Lithogenic elements and isotopes in peat cores as markers of Holocene climate changes in the Mackenzie River valley
Principal Investigator: Outridge, Peter M
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: The objective of this research is to reconstruct climate change information as well as recent industrial mercury and lead pollution histories for Inuvik and the lower Mackenzie River valley. To determine the above, a core sample of peat will be taken from a peat bog located near Inuvik, and analyzed for elements and dusts deposited from the air over the last 7,000 years. The site will be a...


Increasing Boreal Forest Fire: Future Impacts on Arctic Environment and Climate
Principal Investigator: Stocks, Brian J
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: The research aims to characterize the physical and chemical properties of forest fire smoke and its impact on the Artic. Three aircraft (CT-133 jet, Dehavilland Sea Heron and Dehavilland Twin Otter) based out of Yellowknife, equipped with standard scientific atmospheric chemistry sampling instrumentation, will be used to sample smoke while airborne. Sampling will take place opportunistically as fi...


Water Quality of Aklavik Clearing Lake and Associated Wetlands
Principal Investigator: Fehr, Alan
Licensed Year(s): 1995
Summary: The researchers will determine what impact sewage effluent from the Hamlet of Aklavik is having on the water quality and biota downstream. A literature review on the entire Delta will be completed. Interview with people having camps on the Delta and field observations will give an idea of past and present distribution of wood frogs. Water quality samples will be taken and wetland biota describe...
