Characterization of permafrost cores from the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Corridor, NWT, Canada
Principal Investigator: Alvarez, Alejandro
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4980. The objectives of this study are to: 1) evaluate the geologic setting including geochemistry, and radiocarbon ages to establish a regional history of the area; 2) investigate the geologic setting of multiple buried ice bodies; and 3) develop a geologic map along the southern Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH) highlig...


Climate change and the potential socio-economic effects on communities resulting from reducing winter road access
Principal Investigator: English, Michael C
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4952. The overall goal of this research project is to evaluate how citizens of two Northwest Territory communities, Wekweeti and Aklavik, view the vulnerability of the winter roads serving each community to climate warming and how these impacts may affect community well being with respect to socio-economics and culture. Ove...

Rural Resources and Political Power: Understanding Incentive Structures, Local Agency, and Oil Development in the Northwest Territories and Alaska
Principal Investigator: Schober, Kelsey
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4612. Oil has driven migration, community growth, and governance of the last century in the Arctic. However, as Arctic global warming surpasses 1°C with “profound consequences”, the relationship between oil and climate change becomes increasingly contentious and impossible to ignore. In light of this tension, my research as...


Estimating Aquatic Species Physiological Limits (ASPL) through a Forage Fish Monitoring and Observation (FFMO) program in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR)
Principal Investigator: Steiner, Nadja
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4758. The 3 year project objective is to conduct underwater eco-physiological monitoring in remote Inuvialuit coastal areas in both summer and winter seasons. This will result in critical benchmark data with emphasis on coastal forage fish species during rapid climate change. Another project off-shoot will be a self-suffici...
