Principal Investigator: Goeckede, Mathias
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5971. As part of the ERC-synergy project Q-Arctic, we plan to investigate biogeochemical and biogeophysical processes along transects following landscape gradients, and study carbon cycle processes within small to medium-sized lakes including their watersheds. Gradients on land include natural variability within heterogen...

Principal Investigator: Strauss, Justin Vincent
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5411. or this latest phase of research, the research team propose to integrate field observations, geochemical techniques, and historical remote sensing analysis to quantify the rates and processes by which sediment is generated from bedrock and transported downslope via hillslope and river processes under a changing climat...

Principal Investigator: Knights, Deon Hanley
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4926. To improve the understanding of biogeochemical cycling in arctic deltas, the principal investigator (PI) propose fieldwork to characterize nitrate processing rates across a range of streams and lakes on the Mackenzie delta. This field expedition will primarily consist of the following three methods: 1) solute trac...

Principal Investigator: Merzouk, Anissa
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4997. The aim of the research programs supported by the Amundsen in 2021 is to study on a long-term basis how climate induced changes are impacting the marine ecosystem, carbon cycle, contaminant transport, biogeochemical fluxes, and exchange processes across the ocean-sea ice-atmosphere interface in the Canadian Arctic Oce...

Principal Investigator: Walker, Donald A
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005 2004 2003
Summary: The goal of this project is to understand the complex linkages between biogeochemical cycles, vegetation, disturbance and climate across the full summer temperature gradient in the Arctic in order to better predict ecosystem responses to changing climate...

Principal Investigator: Guo, Laodong
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004
Summary: The purpose of the study is to better understand how climate and environmental changes affect river water chemistry and material export fluxes, and in turn, how biogeochemical tracers can be used to examine the impacts and biogeochemical consequences of environmental changes. This is the second year of a three-year study. The researchers plan to sample the Mackenzie River starting in late Apri...

Principal Investigator: Fortier, Louis
Licensed Year(s): 2004 2003 2002
Summary: The Canadian Arctic Shelf Exchange Study (CASES), a major international effort under Canadian leadership, aims to understand the biogeochemical and ecological consequences of sea ice variability on the Mackenzie Shelf (Beaufort Sea) and provide the infor...

Principal Investigator: Lesack, Lance
Licensed Year(s): 2017 2016 2015 2014 2010 2009 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993
Summary: The long-term goal of this research is to develop a model of the interacting biogeochemical and hydrologic processes that control the nutrient balance and primary productivity of lakes in the Mackenzie Delta region, and ultimately, a more general model for lakes associated with the floodplains and deltas of major world rivers. Work based at the Inuvik Research Centre will consist of field and lab ...
