Recent, rapid environmental change in the western Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Thienpont, Joshua
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5573. To understand how landscape changes caused by climate warming are impacting aquatic ecosystems, particularly lakes and streams. These disturbances focus primarily on permafrost thaw, in the form of thaw slumps and landslides. The understanding derived will allow better understanding of how water quality and aquatic ha...


Long-term hydrological dynamics of Canada’s largest watershed: Climate controls on water quantity of the Mackenzie River Basin
Principal Investigator: Galloway, Jennifer
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4705. The Mackenzie River Basin (MRB) is one of the largest cold-water, intact boreal ecosystems in the world and has unique Earth-system’s processes associated with sea ice formation, global circulation of deep ocean currents, carbon storage, and biogeochemical cycling. This unique global resource is also critical for supp...


Organic carbon cycle in the Mackenzie delta lakes
Principal Investigator: Lattaud, Julie
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4698. The project will study the dynamics of deltaic lake ecosystems over the past century through the application of recently developed molecular (lipid biomarker) and isotopic (radiocarbon and stable isotopes) proxies to lake sedimentary records. This will unravel the impact of old carbon input into aquatic ecosystems. Ra...


Climate change reconstructed from lake sediments
Principal Investigator: Lamoureux, Scott F
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: The goal of this project is to collect sediment cores and water samples from a lake, to be analysed as an indication of past snow melt and stream flow in the area. Two personnel will camp at the site for 5 days in late May. In late June, early July and/or late August they will return by helicopter from a neighboring camp in Nunavut for two or three visits, 3-4 hours each visit. A skidoo will be...


Investigation of Frost Heave in Lake Bottom Sediments
Principal Investigator: Burn, Chris R
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1987
Summary: The research team will monitor the amount of heave that occurs in lake-bottom sediments during winter, after water freezes to the bottom of lakes, because these environments are the best for examining the hydrology of frost heaving....


Reconstruction of post-glacial vegetation and climate in the Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk area
Principal Investigator: Ritchie, J.C.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: Dr. Ritchie is looking at live plants and the remains of plants at the bottom of lakes to see how plants and weather have changed since the glaciers left the Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk area 10,000 years ago....


Licence #5023
Principal Investigator: Ritchie, J.C.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: April - to take 5 cm diamete rcores of unconsolidated lake mud from 6 small lakes; July - to conduct a survey of the vegetation surrounding the lakes sampled in the above winter coring operation....


Licence #2730
Principal Investigator: Ritchie, J.C.
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: Sampling & coring lake sediments through the ice....


Licence #2253
Principal Investigator: Ritchie, J.C.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: To examine and sample the unconsolidated sediments of various small lakes in an area surrounding Hyndman Lake (50 km. radius) ESE of Inuvik, for the purpose of making laboratory analyses of Carbon - 14 age, pollen stratigraphy and other microfossils. The ultimate objective is to reconstruct the past vegetation and environment of the area....
