Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway Metal Chemistry
Principal Investigator: Gammon, Paul R
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5551. The overall objective of the research is to eventually determine the environmental chemistry of the elevated metal concentrations, which will in turn determine the environmental risk that these measured concentrations pose (i.e. will answer, at least in part, the questions: do these sites require remediation, and in w...


Assessing the impact of small, Canadian Arctic river flows to the freshwater budget of the Canadian Archipelago
Principal Investigator: Alkire, Matthew B
Licensed Year(s): 2016 2015 2014
Summary: There are two primary goals of this project: 1) to determine whether relatively small Canadian Arctic rivers significantly contribute to the total volume of freshwater that drains through Davis Strait; and, 2) to determine if they are chemically distinct from larger North American rivers such as the Mackenzie and Yukon Rivers. To achieve these goals the research team propose to collect water sampl...


Sensitivity of high-latitude lakes to climatic & development disturbances
Principal Investigator: Prowse, Terry D
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2006 2005
Summary: The researchers want to develop a model for small Arctic lakes that will help them see how sensitive or vulnerable Arctic lake ecosystems are to various forms of disturbance, such as future climate change or water withdrawal. In order to develop their m...


Tracking arctic river water by geochemical means: Mackenzie Delta case study
Principal Investigator: Falkner, Kelly K.
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: The researchers will be tracking the fate of Mackenzie River waters through the Delta and into the Arctic Ocean by using natural geochemical markers. Water samples will be collected by drilling through the ice at 50 locations along the main channel of the river and out over the shelf. This information is important for understanding the circulation of Arctic Ocean waters, the processes of global ...


Biogeochemistry of lakes in the Mackenzie Delta
Principal Investigator: Lesack, Lance
Licensed Year(s): 2017 2016 2015 2014 2010 2009 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993
Summary: This research involves a variety of activities that involve investigating the chemical makeup of ice, streams and lakes. In addition, some work will be conducted on measuring the microscopic and larger organisms (e.g., algae and bugs) present in streams. Most of the field work will be based out of the Inuvik Research Centre with some work conducted in collaboration with Dr. P. Marsh at Trail Val...
