Using computer models to understand what influences mercury levels in the Beaufort Sea Shelf food web
Principal Investigator: Giang, Amanda
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5518. The objectives of this project are to develop and apply a computer model of mercury bioaccumulation in the Beaufort Sea Shelf food web; to estimate the effects of selected environmental changes on historical Beaufort Sea beluga MeHg concentrations from (1970-2010s); and, to investigate potential future trajectories of...


Northern Contaminents Program Passive Air Sampling Network
Principal Investigator: Hung, Hayley
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4494. The goal of the passive sampling network is to expand the number of sampling locations to get a more comprehensive understanding of the level of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and mercury entering the region, where the pollutants are coming from and how they are changing over time. To provide spatially-distribut...


Identifying sources of mercury in Arctic rivers
Principal Investigator: Zdanowicz, Christian M
Licensed Year(s): 2019 2018
Summary: The goal of this project is to identify and quantify (measure) the different possible sources of toxic mercury that is transported in rivers of the Mackenzie River basin, all the way down to the Beaufort Sea. In particular, the research team want to establish how much mercury comes from "modern" sources (like distant air pollution, runoff from rain/snow, wash-out from surface soils, etc.) and how ...


Arctic Contaminants: Exploring effective and appropriate communication between Inuvialuit communities and researchers
Principal Investigator: Reinfort, Breanne C
Licensed Year(s): 2012 2011 2010 2009
Summary: The short-term objectives of this research project are to: - bring forward indigenous perspectives on contaminants, contaminant research, and how research is communicated and made accessible to communities; - discuss contaminants issues in the context of their applicability to the daily lives of community members, and in the broader context of local and scientific knowledge of climate variabilit...


Mercury Input to the Beaufort Sea from the Mackenzie River
Principal Investigator: Graydon, Jennifer A
Licensed Year(s): 2010
Summary: The long-term goal of the research program is to quantify the annual mass delivery of total mercury (THg; all forms of mercury in a sample) and methylmercury (MeHg) from the Mackenzie River to the Beaufort Sea. Accurate annual mercury (Hg) fluxes are currently not available from the Mackenzie River and represent a key, unmeasured source of Hg to the Beaufort Sea marine ecosystem. The specific ob...


Licence #1989
Principal Investigator: Hatfield, C.T.
Licensed Year(s): 1976
Summary: To carry out a fresh water fisheries study, primarily in search for spawining areas. Some fish might be tested for parasites and mercury....
