Particle Dynamics on the Mackenzie shelf (CASES sub-project)
Principal Investigator: Walker, Tony R
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004
Summary: The Beaufort Sea shelf is very shallow and the Mackenzie River, which sends freshwater, nutrients, and particles onto the shelf, may have a large influence on its productivity. The researchers would like to study the effects of the river in transporting particles to the shelf by measuring the types of particles, how fast they sink, and how easily they are stirred from the bottom. They would also ...

2005 Aquatic and Marine Environmental Studies Related to Barge-Based Facilities in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region
Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: This project is a continuation of work that began in 2004. The Niglintgak Gas Processing facility may be constructed on a seaworthy barge, transported to a staging site in the Beaufort Sea, and then towed through the Mackenzie Delta channels to a sheltered location in Little Kumak Channel where the barge set-down site is proposed. This study will look at the environmental conditions along the pro...

Holocene Environment Change Across Treeline, Mackenzie Delta Region
Principal Investigator: Pisaric, Michael FJ
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2006 2005
Summary: There are three main parts in the researchers' project: 1) investigating changes in vegetation cover in the Inuvik region during the past 10,000 years using fossil pollen and stomata preserved in lake sediment; 2) investigating the importance of disturb...

Beaufort Shelf Seabed Mapping Project
Principal Investigator: Blasco, Steve M
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003
Summary: The Beaufort Seabed Mapping Project is designed to assess the environmental impact of offshore hydrocarbon exploration and transportation on the renewable resources of the Beaufort Sea. This project has 2 objectives: 1) seabed sampling using grab sampler...

Holocene paleoecology and paleoclimatology of the central Canadian Arctic Islands
Principal Investigator: Gajewski, Konrad
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2004 2001 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: This research is a study of the changes in the climate and vegetation across the Canadian Arctic for the past 10 000 years. By studying lake sediments, the researchers will determine how climate changes in the past affected the vegetation of the region....

Summer 2001 Hydrology Surveys within the Gwich'in Settlement Region: Biophysical Baseline Studies in support of the Mackenzie Delta Gas Feasibility Study
Principal Investigator: Sawetsky, Les
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: A detailed data collection program will be undertaken on 20 streams. All major streams will be included in the survey. The proposed survey will begin in late July and continue until early September 2001, and will consist of comprehensive studies at selected streams, as discussed below, to define how the streams behave and how they change in time. The focus of the hydrology component is on descr...

Near-surface ground ice in sediments of the Mackenzie Delta region, NWT
Principal Investigator: Kokelj, Steven V
Licensed Year(s): 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 2000 1999
Summary: This project investigates the the distribution and amount of near-surface ice in sediments of the Mackenzie delta area near Inuvik. Sites near Inuvik will be accessed via road and sampled using a hand held power auger. Soil cores will be removed and taken to the Inuvik Research Center for subsequent examination. The thickness of permafrost will be measured by near-surface water jet drilling which ...

The origin of deformed massive ice, Pleistocene Mackenzie Delta, Western Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Murton, Julian B
Licensed Year(s): 1999 1998
Summary: The main objective of the proposed research is to establish the origin of massive bodies of underground ice at three key massive-ice localities in the Mackenzie Delta area: i) Mason Bay area, NE Richards Island; (ii) the central Eskimo Lakes region and (iii) the Liverpool Bay area. The research will be carried out by an interdisciplinary team of scientists examining the geology, glaciology and c...
