2010200920082007 Summary:
The objectives of this research project are to:
1. map and assess changes in the distribution and composition of forest and peatland ecosystems due to climate changes;
2. estimate carbon storage (and variation) in boreal to arctic ecoregions of the Mackenzie valley; and
3. assess interannual and seasonal variations and key processes controlling carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) dynamics.

1998 Summary:
Field activities for this project will be covered under various permits being applied for the engineering operations. The Mallik site will be accessed by ice roads from Inuvik. The Mallik wells will be drilled by the Akita 15 rig (local northern company). We expect up to 60 scientists (and 40 operations staff) to be on site at the height of the program. Scientists will be housed in facilities of ...

Summary:
The project is being conducted by Lutra Associates Ltd. for the Arctic Energy Alliance. To provide a proper context for taking action on greenhouse gas emissions, the AEA wishes to ascertain information on the knowledge and attitudes amount youth in grades 5-12 about global warming and climate change. The Arctic Energy Alliance's survey of youth is designed to answer questions on climate change is...

Summary:
It is proposed that about 12 air samples would be collected into 6 liter stainless steel canisters using a small (<10kg) battery powered air sampler. Additionally, a 0.5 cubic meter open-bottom PVC chamber would be placed on the tundra for a period of 4-6 hours. Air would be sampled from the chamber periodically to establish biogenic emmission rates of n-butanol and other volatile organic compo...

Summary:
The researcher will map the configuration of peat deposits and permafrost within them using geophysical surveys (ground penetrating radar and EM-31). This will involve setting out a traverse line on foot using measuring tape and flagging tape, taking measurements along the traverse line with hand-held equipment and measuring the depth of peat using a probe. The researcher will drive or fly out ...

Summary:
The research team will be examining areas of permafrost south of Inuvik and near Hay River in order to assess the rate of loss of permafrost as a result of the warming in climate over the past twenty years. The loss in permafrost may be speeded up following a local fire. The wetlands that replace these areas of permafrost could lead to a greater production of methane (one of the gases that contr...
