The Traditional Knowledge, Food and Climate project
Principal Investigator: Ostertag, Sonja K
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6103. This project hasthree main objectives: 1) To combine traditional knowledge and academic science tools to co-develop traditional knowledge and food calendars in the ISR; 2) To learn about the country foods eaten by Inuvialuit children, youth, adults and Elders in the ISR, how this has changed over time and if there ...


Temporal trends of persistent organic pollutants and metals in ringed seals from the Canadian arctic
Principal Investigator: Houde, Magali
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6035. The objectives of the project are to 1) analyze temporal and spatial trends of mercury, other metals, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and new chemicals of concern in ringed seals using annual collections across Inuit Nunangat, 2) Evaluate relationships between contaminants in ringed seals and changing environme...


Country Foods for Good Health Initiatives across the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Ostertag, Sonja K
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5831. The short-term objectives of this study are to: i) administer a health communication and risk perception survey tailored for the ISR – the Inuvialuit Food Messages Survey; ii) capture Inuvialuit values and perspectives of the country food system through interviews and photos for research and community use; iii) deter...


Aklavik Loche Harvest Monitoring Project
Principal Investigator: Campbell, Kiyo
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5750. The Aklavik Hunters and Trappers Committee (AHTC) and Fisheries Joint Management Committee (FJMC) are working together to conduct burbot monitoring work including contaminants testing. The project aims to answer four main questions: • Has loche health and liver condition changed since the 2007 GRRB loche monitoring ...


Harvesting primary cells from beluga whales
Principal Investigator: Desforges, Jean-Pierre
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5600. The objective of this project is: 1. To collect and cryopreserve living cells spanning the major physiological systems in beluga's at Hendrickson Island. Physiological systems will be target by harvesting cells from the following tissues: blood, liver, adrenals, thyroid, gonad, kidney, and spleen. The desired ou...


Using computer models to understand what influences mercury levels in the Beaufort Sea Shelf food web
Principal Investigator: Giang, Amanda
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5518. The objectives of this project are to develop and apply a computer model of mercury bioaccumulation in the Beaufort Sea Shelf food web; to estimate the effects of selected environmental changes on historical Beaufort Sea beluga MeHg concentrations from (1970-2010s); and, to investigate potential future trajectories of...


Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway Metal Chemistry
Principal Investigator: Gammon, Paul R
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5551. The overall objective of the research is to eventually determine the environmental chemistry of the elevated metal concentrations, which will in turn determine the environmental risk that these measured concentrations pose (i.e. will answer, at least in part, the questions: do these sites require remediation, and in w...


Bioassay-based investigations on Arctic beluga blubber samples
Principal Investigator: Wania, Frank
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5471. The objectives of this research project are to: 1. Characterize the effects that chemical extracts from the traditional food samples have on a number of cellular processes. Their results can indicate the type of toxicity that those chemical extracts may cause. 2. Use the Arctic beluga as a "clean" reference in inves...


Potential Impacts of Climate Change on the levels of Poly- and Perfluoroalkyls in Country Foods and Implications for Human Health Risk
Principal Investigator: Wallace, Elizabeth
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5313. The objectives of this study are to estimate potential future Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) concentrations in marine country foods under two climate change scenarios, and to determine dietary exposure estimates and hazard indices based on potential future concentrations and dietary intake data. The longer-term obje...


Sources, transport, and fate of microplastics in the Mackenzie River, Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Bourdages, Madelaine
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5225. The first objective of this project is to quantify microplastic concentration and composition in water, sediment, and air in the Mackenzie River delta. The second objective is to examine if microplastic concentrations are greater near communities. The third objective is to identify if microplastics are being transport...
