Principal Investigator: Musetta-Lambert, Jordan
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5936. The broad research question is: How will beaver activity in the tundra impact aquatic ecosystem health? This will be answered by addressing the following specific objectives and questions: Generate an understanding of beaver activity impacts on aquatic food webs in tundra streams. Question 1: How does beaver activit...


Impacts of Permafrost Thaw Slump Extent, Severity and Persistence on Stream Biotic Health
Principal Investigator: Musetta-Lambert, Jordan
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: 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 ...


Impact of ferry landings on water quality and traditional fish harvesting in the Mackenzie and Peel Rivers
Principal Investigator: Gray, Derek K
Licensed Year(s): 2019 2018
Summary: 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...


Biological studies of waters along the proposed Mackenzie Gas Pipeline route - Gwich'in Settlement Region
Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008 2007 2006
Summary: While data collected during the Environmental Impact Assessment studies (carried out in conjunction with the proposed construction and operation of the Mackenzie Gas Pipeline) are relatively comprehensive in describing the major physical-chemical features of the aquatic environment, they are lacking in the descriptions of the biological features of these environments, and as a consequence, their s...
