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: 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...

Principal Investigator: Nicholson, Barbara
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The Researcher will map the present distribution of boreal and subarctic wetlands in the Mackenzie River Basin. Wetland vegetation and water chemistry will be described for areas immediately surrounding permanent weather stations. The ecological relationships between climate, wetland water chemistry and wetland species distribution will be analyzed. A predictive indicator model will be built to pr...

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: Sims, Richard A. Sims
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To conduct a low level (2000 ft. above groud level) a high level (30,000 ft. A.G.L.) aerial surveys of the reindeer rangeland. Ground truthing will also take place along with collection of plants, soil and water made to complete the study....

Principal Investigator: Thomas, David
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: As part of a baseline study: (1) To collect sediment and sea water samples for chemical analysis. (2) To collect samples of benthic invertebrates at or below depths of 50 metres for subsequent analysis and classification....
