Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5555. Our objective is to install 3 Automated Recording Units (ARUs) that will collect daily audio recordings that will allow us to understand how variation in environmental conditions affect habitat use by birds. To begin, we will temporarily attach 3 ARUs onto 3 trees (using bungee cord or ratchet straps). All birds th...

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...

Summary: The Arctic Borderlands Ecological Knowledge Coop uses both local and scientific knowledge to monitor and assess changes in an area that covers the range of the Porcupine Caribou Herd and nearby coastal and marine areas. Interviews with local experts are conducted annually by community researchers. Observations about fish, berries, caribou, unusual animal sightings, weather conditions, and other as...

Principal Investigator: Thompson, Amy L
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007
Summary: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application # 778. This research will examine the livers of Loche fish in the GSA. This research will be completed through: 1) field collection of loche in each of the GSA communities; 2) biological sampling of loche; 3) analysis of stomach health and aging (using isotopes). More specifically, biological measurements will be taken for ea...

Summary: Researchers will evaluate the spatial variability of nutrient chemistry during the snowmelt period within the drainage network of the tundra stream ecosystem. Evaluation of the controls on nutrient chemistry and community metabolism in streams withing the borel forest/tundra ecotone through the measurement of algae and organic matter in the stream. Evaluation of the potential role of Mackenzie De...

Summary: As part of a long term study, I will continue to examine the biology of arctic and subarctic insects. Information will be collected on insect distributions as well as insect adaptations to living in environments with extremely cold winters and short summers. Studies on insect communities in the north may be good indicators of global climate change since they are short-lived species with limited a...

Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: Under the direction of the Aklavik and Inuvik HTA's, the research team will carry out interviews with Inuvialuit that are knowledgable about the broad whitefish and its fishery in the local waters. Data to be obtained include information on the traditional fishery, changes to this fishery, knowledge about the breeding and feeding habits, migrations, parasites and diseases, and effects of local en...

Principal Investigator: Marsh, Philip
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The research will study changes in the water levels of a variety of lakes in the Mackenzie Delta. Investigations will include consideration of factors controlling the lake levels, introduction of floodwater from the Mackenzie River, rainfall on to the lake, smowmelt runoff into the lakes and evaporation from the lakes....

Principal Investigator: Scotter, George
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and team will carry out this survey at the request of the community of Paulatuk. They will summarize the existing knowledge of the natural resources of the Bluenose Lake Region. A total of about 20 stops will be made to examine the vegetation, soil, wildlife and physiogeography and to collect plant and soil samples....

Principal Investigator: Sandstrom, Steve
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Fieldwork will involve removing fish from selected pools by a number of methods including electroshocking, seine and angling. They will be anaesthetized, weighed, measured and tagged. The researcher estimates that no more than 5% of the total catch will be dead sampled....
