ArcticNet: an Integrated Regional Impact Study of the Coastal Western Canadian Arctic.
Principal Investigator: Fortier, Martin
Licensed Year(s): 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2007 2006 2005 2004
Summary: The central aim of the ArcticNet marine-based research program is to study on a long-term basis how climate induced changes are impacting the marine ecosystem, contaminant transport, biogeochemical fluxes, and exchange processes across the ocean-sea ice-atmosphere interface in the Canadian Arctic Ocean. Ultimately, the knowledge generated from this multi-year program will be integrated into region...

Analyzing oceanic storm surge impacts within the coastal Mackenzie Delta, NWT
Principal Investigator: Moorman, Brian J
Licensed Year(s): 2010
Summary: The main objective of this study is to establish the degree of impact and spatial extent of specific oceanic storm surges within the coastal Mackenzie Delta over the past 40 years. This investigation will be completed by analyzing remote sensing imagery to create multiyear change maps. The resulting maps will then be correlated to historic water level and climate data and verified by field samples...

Sensitivities of high-latitude lakes to climatic & development disturbances
Principal Investigator: Prowse, Terry D
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2006 2005
Summary: The objective of this study is to develop a hydro-ecological model for small Arctic lakes to assess the vulnerability of their ecosystems to disturbances, such as climate change or water withdrawal. To quantify geochemical loadings to lakes, a model is being developed by monitoring lakes and their contributing catchment (surface water flow). A climate station will be set up at 2 - 6 sites to mo...

Evaluation of extreme events (ice jams) and deep scour holes on Mackenzie Delta Channels
Principal Investigator: Prowse, Terry D
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004
Summary: The objectives of this study are to quantify the frequency and magnitude of ice jams in the Mackenzie River Delta, including the hydroclimatic conditions controlling their occurrence and associated floods, develop a hydraulic model of it, and investigate the importance of deep scour holes in the Mackenzie River. This study is an expansion of previous research conducted in 2004. Ice jamming has ...

Climate forcing factors and the record of climatic variability in the western Canadian Arctic during the past 2000 years
Principal Investigator: Tomkins, Jessica
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005
Summary: The main goal of this research is to use lake sediment records to examine changes in weather conditions and river discharge in the western Canadian Arctic during the past 2000 years, which will aid in understanding current conditions and forecasting future conditions. The research team will reach the study location by airplane from Resolute, Nunavut, and will be on site from late May to early ...
