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...


Geological Mapping of Mackenzie Delta and Richardson Mountains
Principal Investigator: Adepoju, Yaqub Olabanji
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5860. The objectives of the project and its importance are to close the knowledge gap created by age of the last field study and proprietary nature of other geological studies in the Mackenzie Delta. 1. At each field station, the team of researchers will record field observation of the physical properties of rock format...

Resampling of Microalgal Communities and soil lipids in Lakes Across a 1400 km Transect from Yukon to Northwest Territories: Analysis of Changes Since 1993
Principal Investigator: Alibert, Marie
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5619. The objective of this study is to examine how climate change has impacted lake ecosystems and soils whether the changes follow a similar direction as those observed in Nunavik. Based on the results from Quebec, there should be a northward shift of different types of microalgal communities because of vegetation evolut...


Multi-methodological three-dimensional investigation of open- and closed-system Pingos in northwestern Canada (Pingo3D)
Principal Investigator: Kneisel, Christof
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5921. This project aims to investigate the three-dimensional internal structure of pingos in the Mackenzie Delta Region. The focus is on small-scale heterogeneities and a detailed delineation of ice-rich or unfrozen areas within, underneath and in close proximity to different pingos. High-resolution, 3D information gathere...


Mechanical and thermal design of embankments built on permafrost
Principal Investigator: Bilodeau, Jean-Pascal
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5914. The main objective is to develop a practical method for the mechanical and thermal design of embankments built on permafrost based on the properties of the active layer and of the permafrost, as well as the loading conditions. An existing thin section of the highway embankment built on permafrost has been instrume...
