Permafrost slumping and land-water connections on the Peel Plateau
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2024 2023 2022 2021
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5953. The objective of this research is to understand how permafrost slumping increases the mobilization of carbon, nutrients, and toxins (mercury) from land to water, and the effects of this transport on stream ecosystems and the global carbon cycle. Over the next several years, the plan is to measure stream chemistry at ...


Characterizing recent wildfires in the Northwest Territories
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2024
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5869. The main objective of this study is to reveal patterns of northern wildfires. Vertical profiles of burned peat (and other organic matter) layers will be investigated, which produce pioneering results on the vertical pattern of peat fires, and critical information on the burn depth and age of burnt peat (modern vs. fo...

Understanding the cumulative impacts of beaver activity on stream health in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2024 2023
Résumé: 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
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2024 2023
Résumé: 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...

chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2024 2023 2022
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5740. To address community concerns about aquatic ecosystem health and water quality. Community members were trained to use the following equipment: • YSI sondes: sit in the water and measure basic water quality parameters every 2 hours for up to 3 months. Analysis undertaken at ECC. • Grab water samples: measure bas...


Resampling of Microalgal Communities and soil lipids in Lakes Across a 1400 km Transect from Yukon to Northwest Territories: Analysis of Changes Since 1993
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2024
Résumé: 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)
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2024
Résumé: 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...
