Deltaic Lake Sediments as Recorders of Past Carbon Export from Arctic River Drainage Basins
Principal Investigator: Vonk, Jorien
Licensed Year(s): 2011 2009 2007
Summary: The research project goal is to collect surface sediments, bank and levee sediments, particulate sediments and shallow sediment cores from lakes in the Mackenie River Delta, and to evaluate their utility as potential archives of information concerning past permafrost stability by assessing down-core changes in the age and supply of terrestrial carbon. In 2007 and 2009, teams led by Prof. Tim Eglin...


Lake 5A Mesocosm Study - 3rd Amendment to Hydro-ecological Responses of Arctic Tundra Lakes to Climate Change and Landscape Perturbation
Principal Investigator: Wrona, Frederick J
Licensed Year(s): 2010
Summary: The overall objective of the Lake 5A mesocosm study is to better understand the impact of permafrost thaw shoreline slumping (an analogue for a warming climate) on the bottom components of the aquatic food-web in small Arctic tundra lakes in order to better predict the effects of a warming climate on food-web structure, function and productivity. To assess the direct and indirect effects of per...


Coastal Sedimentary Processes and Geotechnical Conditions, North Head Area, Richards Island, Canadian Beaufort Sea
Principal Investigator: Solomon, Steven M
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher and his team will use a hand-operated auger to take sediment cores and temperature measurements. Cores will penetrate the seabed beneath the ice to a depth of 2-3 metres. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) will be used to investigate ground ice distribution and a current meter will be used to measure sub-ice currents along the edge of the bottom-fast ice....


Limnology and Paleoecology of Arctic Lakes
Principal Investigator: Smol, John P
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The research team will sample approximately 20 lakes located within a 100 km radius of Tuktoyaktuk and within the immediate vicinity of Inuvik. At each lake they will analyze the water for major environmental variables and remove some of the lake mud for future analysis of algal remains....
