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...

Environmental change in the 20th century, Mackenzie Delta region, Northwest Territories.
Principal Investigator: Pisaric, Michael FJ
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2006 2005
Summary: Climate change is expected to have the greatest impacts in northern regions. Permafrost degradation is a likely outcome of warming temperatures. As temperatures increase and permafrost begins to melt, there is likely to be significant impacts on aquatic communities as nutrients and contaminants accumulated in permafrost are released into lakes. This study will examine the impact of permafrost degr...

Environmental Studies Across the Treeline, Mackenzie Delta Region
Principal Investigator: Kokelj, Steven V
Licensed Year(s): 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005
Summary: The Mackenzie Delta region is characterized by diverse terrain and ecological conditions. Responsible and effective management of oil and gas exploration and potential production and pipeline construction in this region necessitates a broad but detailed understanding of environmental conditions in this region and the potential response of this environment to climate change or anthropogenic disturb...

Mackenzie Valley Global Change Observatory
Principal Investigator: Egginton, Paul A.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1990
Summary: The team will install active layer monitoring stations at up to 8 sites on Richards Island. They will sample present active layer and surface permafrost for analysis of recent change as well as lake bottoms for similar reasons and a possible sea level record....
