Defining the biothermal envelope of Dolly Varden in the Canadian Western Arctic to inform conservation planning.
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2019
Résumé: The first phase of this field program was implemented in 2018, where approximately twenty loggers were deployed and retrieved. A minimum sample size of seventy is required to build a robust stream temperature model. The research team propose to deploy July 14-15 and retrieve August 29-30 the remaining temperature loggers (n = 50) across the Fish Creek watershed. This data will be used to develop a...


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...


Identifying sources of mercury in Arctic rivers
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2019 2018
Résumé: The goal of this project is to identify and quantify (measure) the different possible sources of toxic mercury that is transported in rivers of the Mackenzie River basin, all the way down to the Beaufort Sea. In particular, the research team want to establish how much mercury comes from "modern" sources (like distant air pollution, runoff from rain/snow, wash-out from surface soils, etc.) and how ...


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...


Sustainable Water Governance and Indigenous Law Project
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2018 2017
Résumé: The goal is to enhance effective, equitable Indigenous co-governance of water resources through pursuing five objectives: 1)Critically conceptualize the potential for reciprocal coordination of, and complementarity between, evolving common ("Western") and Indigenous water law and governance frameworks; 2)Develop innovative methods for co-researching Indigenous Water Governance, based on collabor...


Assessing regulators' information needs to make decisions regarding cumulative effects under the MVRMA
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2018 2017 2016
Résumé: This project will determine what information Regulators require about cumulative effects or conditions in order to make informed decisions regarding development impacts to water quality in the NWT, and whether and how that information is, or can be, provided through NWT Cumulative Impacts Monitoring Program (CIMP) or other agencies responsible for monitoring. The objectives are as follows: 1)...


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...


Predicting climate-driven changes in water quality and biological communities in Gwich'in lakes
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2017
Résumé: Zooplankton play a key role in aquatic food webs, providing a conduit for the movement of energy between primary producers (algae) and larger organisms such as macroinvertebrates and fish. Therefore, elucidating the impact of permafrost melting on zooplankton is key to gaining a broader understanding of climate change on aquatic ecosystems in Canada’s north. Objectives of this proposed researc...


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 ...
