PIONEER (Effects of underwater noise and chemical PollutIOn on heariNg abilitiEs of cEtaceans in the Arctic)
Principal Investigator: Morell Ybarz, Maria
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5876. The aim of this study is to identify and quantify the effects of noise on hearing in cetaceans in the Arctic. Ears of harvested belugas in Hendrickson Island will be used to determine if the individuals suffered a hearing impairment, and if it is compatible with noise exposure. (1) After the head and lower jaws ha...


Noise impacts on ringed seals
Principal Investigator: Insley, Stephen
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5805. Our project has two main objectives: 1) Examine the impacts of underwater noise from vessel traffic on ringed seals. 2) Examine the spatial ecology of ringed seals in the western Canadian Arctic and estimate their exposure to underwater noise from vessel traffic. Within all of these objectives, the team will b...


2003 Summer Baseline Noise Monitoring Study in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region
Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: Noise monitoring will be conducted within the Niglintgak, Taglu and Parsons Lake Leases as well as at select potential locations for facilities, infrastructure, access roads and granular resources in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region where there is the po...


2003 Winter Baseline Noise Monitoring Study in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region
Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002
Summary: Noise monitoring will be conducted in the Taglu lease and in the Swimming Point, Parsons Lake and Jimmy Lake regions. These data will provide estimates of background ambient noise which will be needed before construction of the Mackenzie Gas Project. Pr...


Devon Canada Corporation - Air Quality and Noise Studies Program for the proposed Beaufort Sea Offshore Drilling Program
Principal Investigator: Evans, Kevin
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: The issues to be addressed in the emissions and air impact assessment portion of the project include: 1) adequacy of baseline emissions, air quality, meteorological and climatological data, as well as air quality and deposition monitoring data, for the B...


Responses of marine mammals to vessel noise
Principal Investigator: Cosens, Susan
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: In this final year of the study, the researcher will be testing the responses of beluga whales to previously recorded underwater (background) and boat noise. The whales' behaviour to the recorded noises will be measured as a way to determine if belugas alter their behaviour to boat traffic....


Assessment of potential masking of marine mammal sounds by ship noise
Principal Investigator: Cosens, Susan
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: In this final year of study, the researcher will be recording whale sounds as well as `normal' underwater sounds (background noise) and underwater sounds that boats make. The purpose of this research is to determine whether the sounds of boats interfere with the communication that occurs between beluga. The field crew will camp at Cape Lambton and make day trips to the recording sites out on the...


Licence #2668
Principal Investigator: Ward, John
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: Aboard the ice-breaker "Kigoriak" experiments will be conducted on the levels and types of noise produced by the ship as it participates in the normal operational program. Very small explosives charges will be used (detonator caps) as part of the work....
