Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5559. The main objective is to assess and mitigate the impacts of increased shipping and sea-ice loss on marine mammals in the eastern Beaufort Sea. The primary method used in the completion of this objective will be passive acoustic monitoring of the western entrances to the Northwest Passage shipping route, particularly t...

Summary: Thaw slumps are one of the most dramatic thermokarst features in permafrost regions. The number of thaw slumps on Banks Island has more than tripled in recent decades and it is likely that this change is altering terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This multidisciplinary research project investigates the short- (1960s-present day) and long-term (Medieval Warm Period to today) impacts of permafrost...

Summary: The objective of this project at Thetis Bay is to ensure there is no unforeseen debris in the water around the caissons prior to moving. The objective at Tuktoyaktuk is to see if the caissons could be moved close enough to shore to offer a benefit to mitigate shore erosion. One small bathymetry vessel would be used in the program and one large Northern Transportation Company (NTCL) mainline tu...

Summary: Field research for 2012 will concentrate on two tasks: 1) Continued characterization of gas seeps observed and reported by the National Energy Board, Geological Survey of Canada and Inuvialuit. 2) Data logger (water temperature, level, conductivity and dissolved oxygen) retrieval and redeployment. The objectives of this program are: 1. to collect water and gas samples by-hand for subsequent la...

Summary: A Fish Habitat Assessment and an Archaeological Assessment are required for the proposed Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway. A Fish Habitat Assessment and an Archaeological Impact Assessment Report will be developed with data obtained from the proposed highway corridor during fall 2011. IMG-Golder Corp. is proposing to carry out a fish habitat and archaeological assessment program along the highway ...

Summary: The Arctic Great Rivers Observatory project studies the six largest rivers in the Arctic; the Mackenzie and Yukon Rivers in North America and the Ob', Yenisey, Lena, and Kolyma rivers in Russia. The researchers are interested in how climate change is impacting arctic rivers. The researchers will make measurements of the concentration of naturally-occurring chemicals (like carbon and nitrogen) an...

Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: The objectives of this project are to characterize the habitats and shorelines of the streams that would be crossed by the Tuktoyaktuk to Source 177 all-weather road. The impact area will be recorded and referenced with Global Positioning System (GPS) locations. The information will be transferred to a Geographic Information System (GIS) to complete a habitat map for the area. The Hamlet of T...

Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: This license has been issued for the scientific research application #889. The goal of this research is to determine the environmental impacts present at the BAR-C – Tununuk site and to develop estimates of the various waste components (hydrocarbon and metal/PCB impacted soils, non-hazardous materials, and hazardous materials). INAC is focused on accelerating the remediation of contaminated si...
