Principal Investigator: Gammon, Paul R
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5551. The overall objective of the research is to eventually determine the environmental chemistry of the elevated metal concentrations, which will in turn determine the environmental risk that these measured concentrations pose (i.e. will answer, at least in part, the questions: do these sites require remediation, and in w...

Principal Investigator: Juhls, Bennet
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5542. The proposed project aims to directly observe seasonally strongly variable organic carbon concentrations and chemistry of the Mackenzie River and thus its fluxes to Arctic coastal waters. The research team aim for weekly observations of Mackenzie River biogeochemistry during a period covering the major phases of the h...

Principal Investigator: Whalen, Dustin JR
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4991. The primary objectives are to provide the means to improve the knowledge of physical conditions in the Arctic coastal zone in order to help government agencies, corporations and local residents understand mitigate and reduce the impacts of climate driven changes work taking place in 2021 is critical to better our unde...

Principal Investigator: Pastor, Ada
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5034. The main aim of Nitrofresh is to assess the nitrogen (N) sources for streams and the linkages between terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems across different regions with continuous permafrost in High Arctic. In particular, the research team have three objectives: 1) to quantify and characterize N pools along the ripar...

Principal Investigator: Bourdages, Madelaine
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4999. The first objective of this project is to determine whether geotextiles used in bank stability, such as those used along the ITH, are a source of microplastics to Arctic aquatic environments. The second objective is to determine whether terrestrial soils located directly downstream of geotextiles which flood during an...

Principal Investigator: Holmes, R. Max
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009
Summary: The Arctic Great Rivers Observatory project studies the six largest rivers in the Arctic; the Mackenzie and Yukon Rivers in North America and the Ob', Yenisey, Lena, and Kolyma Rivers in Russia. The research team is interested in how climate change is impacting Arctic rivers. The team will make measurements of the concentration of naturally-occurring chemicals (like carbon and nitrogen) and try to...

Principal Investigator: Guo, Laodong
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004
Summary: The purpose of the study is to better understand how climate and environmental changes affect river water chemistry and material export fluxes, and in turn, how biogeochemical tracers can be used to examine the impacts and biogeochemical consequences of environmental changes. This is the second year of a three-year study. The researchers plan to sample the Mackenzie River starting in late Apri...

Principal Investigator: Gariepy, Clement
Licensed Year(s): 1996
Summary: All transportation will be done using rental vehicles (usually locally). Water sampling will be done out of rental boats (typically zodiac-type) and equipment (light pumps manually operated); water will be filtered on site, particles in suspension will be carried back for analysis. This will typically be 50-100 milligrams. Itinerary includes: Inuvik, Ft. Providence, Yelllowknife....
