Development of a Biological Monitoring Program to Detect Change in Stream Health Along the Dempster–Inuvik–Tuktoyaktuk-Corridor
Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5323. The purpose of this project is to establish a stream biomonitoring program along the Dempster–Inuvik–Tuktoyaktuk-Corridor to understand the current environmental conditions associated with past and newly developed road infrastructure. The research team will establish a stream biomonitoring program for the Inuvik to Tu...


NASA Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) Airborne Initiative 2022
Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5304. The extended ABoVE Study Area includes most of northwestern North America west of Hudson Bay and north and east of the coastal mountain ranges. It encompasses the variability in the key types of ecosystems that are both unique to arctic and boreal regions in North America as well as being representative of the larger ...


Fish Creek (Rat River) Bull Trout eDNA Collection 2022
Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5306. To collect Environmental Deoxyribonucleic acid (eDNA) samples to determine the essential habitat requirements of Dolly Varden trout and to maintain the temperature monitoring network in Fish Creek. For eDNA collection, two litres of water will be collected in the stream and a portable pump will be used to filter t...


An Experimental Approach to Soaking Caribou Antler
Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5301. The research team seek not to prove that soaking antlers in water was a definite part of the tool-making process, but rather to open up the possibility that it may have been used to quicken or make the process easier. The antlers are obtained from Reindeer Tours, from Palmer, Alaska. They have been shed from the C...


PALEO-THAW: Unlocking records of past permafrost thaw through isotopes of fossil bones
Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5255. The main objective of the project is to establish the causes of the major changes in sulphur isotopes recorded in fossil bones of mammals at the end of the ice age. To achieve this, the research team will test the working hypothesis that major changes in fossil bone collagen sulphur are linked to changing biogeochemic...


Can Greenhouses Increase Food Sovereignty in Remote Canadian Arctic Communities?
Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5266. This objective of this research is to understand the success of the Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk greenhouses. Who grows their own food and how does it impact the community? In Inuvik the Principal Investigator (PI) is interested in how the greenhouse has operated and adapted the business model to continue to function and pr...


The Effect of Channel Network Geometry of Nitrate Removal in Arctic Deltas
Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4926. To improve the understanding of biogeochemical cycling in arctic deltas, the principal investigator (PI) propose fieldwork to characterize nitrate processing rates across a range of streams and lakes on the Mackenzie delta. This field expedition will primarily consist of the following three methods: 1) solute trac...


Monitoring forest structure and treeline change drivers
Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5263. The aim is to monitor vegetation changes in current climate warming for simulating past and future dynamics with an individual-based spatially explicit model. Therefore, the intentions are: 1) assessing stand inventories at diverse bioclimatic and environmental settings by a space-for-time approach; 2) gathering remot...


Terrain factors influencing the water quality of peatland streams along the Inuvik-to-Tuktoyaktuk Highway
Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5295. The objective of this project is to examine the oxygen (d18O) and hydrogen (d2H) isotopic compositions of stream water and precipitation for 11 peatland stream watersheds along the Inuvik-to-Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH). This information will be used to understand the hydrology of the contributing watershed. In particula...


Drivers and constraints of ecological change in the western Arctic
Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2019 2018 2017
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5277. The objectives of this research are: 1) Use remote sensing (Landsat, QuickBird, InSAR, Airphotos, UAVs, etc.) to document regional landscape change (tundra fire, infrastructure, saline flooding, slumps, subsidence, vegetation change, lake drainage / expansion, etc.); and 2) Use field sampling and monitoring to determi...
