Secondary Analysis of the Addiction Recovery Experiences Survey Data
Principal Investigator: Denning, Bryany
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5856. This analysis will seek to provide more detailed insights into recovery supports and services in the Northwest Territories. Through secondary analysis of the data collected during the Addiction Recovery Experiences Survey, we will explore the role of social support in addiction recovery, examine whether there are de...


Hydrology of Northern Latitudes
Principal Investigator: Marsh, Philip
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5842. The objectives of this project are to: (1) develop improved understanding of, and ability to predict, the complex northern hydrologic system, (2) consider the integrated effect of the changing climate on vegetation, snow, permafrost, streamflow, and lakes, and (4) develop improved water models needed to predict futur...


Ărramăt: Biodiversity-Health - Options for an Inuvialuit Community-Based Harvest Study
Principal Investigator: Parlee, Brenda L
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5883. The main output of the project will be options for elements of the Harvest Study that reflect both scientific best practice and community-specific needs and priorities. The elements in question are timing of the survey, how to record observations on the health of animals and the land, observations of pressures and st...


Sensory Acts: More Than Human Communication in the Circumpolar North
Principal Investigator: Oehler, Alexander C.
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5760. This project seeks to create an Inuvialuit-owned database of instances of nonverbal communication with animals and plants that will benefit future hunters, plant gatherers, and game managers, as much as it will enlighten current scholarship on nonverbal interspecies communication. Throughout the duration of the proje...


Using computer models to understand what influences mercury levels in the Beaufort Sea Shelf food web
Principal Investigator: Giang, Amanda
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5813. The objectives of this study are to: 1) develop a computer model of mercury bioaccumulation in the Beaufort Sea Shelf food web; and then to apply that model to 2) estimate the effects of selected environmental changes on historical Beaufort Sea beluga MeHg concentrations from (1970-2010s); and 3) investigate potentia...


Muslims in Arctic Canada
Principal Investigator: Mossmann, Bouchra Emilia
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5835. This research project will focus on how Muslims make sense of Islam in environments around the Arctic Circle in Canada. There, religious traditions seem more challenged than elsewhere. For example, because of the extreme light conditions. Research will strive to answer: • How do Muslims in the Arctic live their live...


Permafrost monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT
Principal Investigator: Smith, Sharon S
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5776. This project continues the on-going monitoring program of the same title (Licence # 17182) Permafrost monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT). This phase of the project is largely data collection. Objectives are: • To provide baseline knowledge of permafrost ...


Effects of snowpack temporal and physical properties affect wintertime carbon fluxes in Arctic landscapes
Principal Investigator: Rutter, Nick
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5822. The objectives of this project are: (1) To develop, deploy, and refine low-cost sensors to measure green house gas (GHG) concentrations. (2) To identify GHG concentration patterns within snowpacks at a landscape scale (1 to 10 square km). (3) To optimise winter carbon cycling in climate models, and scale up simula...


Dempster Highway Permafrost Processes
Principal Investigator: Gammon, Paul R
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5828. This project will investigate the permafrost systems that underlie problematic localities along the Dempster Highway. It will link, through geochemical and hydrogeological measurements, the permafrost, groundwater, surface water, soil and dust processes to generate a more wholistic perspective of the permafrost, wate...


Studies of greenhouse gas release and associated environmental processes with thawing permafrost in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region
Principal Investigator: Morse, Peter D
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5797. The goals of this multi-year-long project are to assess greenhouse gas (methane and carbon dioxide) release from warming permafrost and tundra lakes in the ISR and to study associated carbon dynamics and microbiological processes, including the release of mercury to the environment. The first year of field activit...
