Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5536. The project brings together expertise from historically separated knowledge systems and scientific communities, integrating Indigenous perspectives with atmospheric biogeosciences, ecology, airborne remote sensing, and computer science. The project builds on the collective desire to engage community members in knowled...

Principal Investigator: Riva, Mylene
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5341. The expected value of this project is to respond to a community-identified need in the Hamlet of Tuktoyaktuk to better understand the social, cultural, and economic impacts of climate change in the community. Gathering information on community values, priorities and needs is necessary to inform appropriate climate cha...

Principal Investigator: Juhls, Bennet
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5542. The proposed project aims to directly observe seasonally strongly variable organic carbon concentrations and chemistry of the Mackenzie River and thus its fluxes to Arctic coastal waters. The research team aim for weekly observations of Mackenzie River biogeochemistry during a period covering the major phases of the h...

Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5486. IceBird Winter 2023 is part of a long-term sea ice observation program within the IceBird aircraft campaign series. IceBird was initiated in 2018 with the objective to ensure the long-term availability of a unique data record of direct sea-ice thickness observations to understand the role of the sea ice component for ...

Principal Investigator: Rutter, Nick
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5463. The objectives of this project are to develop improved understanding of, and ability to predict, snowcover properties from numerical models used to simulate climate and hydrology in northern regions; to consider the integrated effect of climate on vegetation, snow, permafrost, and lakes; and, to develop improved predi...

Principal Investigator: Alvarez, Alejandro
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5420. The objectives of this study are to: 1) evaluate the geologic setting including geochemistry, and dating of sediments to establish a regional history of the area; 2) investigate the geologic setting of multiple buried, massive ice bodies; and 3) develop a geologic and hazards map along the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highwa...

Principal Investigator: Porter, Trevor
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5487. During the 2022 field season, the main objectives are to collect tree-ring and wedge-ice samples that will be studied to better understand changes in climate over the last 11,700 years and to identify lake sites that will be suitable for lake-sediment coring in the early spring field season. This fieldwork will focus ...
