Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5851. The objectives of this integrated monitoring and research project is to provide i) science based knowledge pertaining to the patterns and rates of climate change, and ii) a quantitative basis for estimating Canada’s contributions to global sea-level rise. The glacier mass balance measurements are derived followi...

Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5813. The objectives of this study are to: 1) develop a computer model of mercury bioaccumulation in the Beaufort Sea Shelf food web; and then to apply that model to 2) estimate the effects of selected environmental changes on historical Beaufort Sea beluga MeHg concentrations from (1970-2010s); and 3) investigate potentia...

Principal Investigator: Mossmann, Bouchra Emilia
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5835. This research project will focus on how Muslims make sense of Islam in environments around the Arctic Circle in Canada. There, religious traditions seem more challenged than elsewhere. For example, because of the extreme light conditions. Research will strive to answer: • How do Muslims in the Arctic live their live...
