To what extent will nitrogen limit Canadian boreal forest growth and the terrestrial carbon sink under global change?
Principal Investigator: Kou-Giesbrecht, Sian
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5951. The overarching objective of this research is to understand the extent to which nutrients will limit forest growth and terrestrial carbon sequestration in Canadian boreal forests and to improve how this is represented in climate change models. These climate change models can then be used to understand the impacts of ...


Response of Nitrogen Fixation in Lichens and Mosses to a Rapidly Changing Arctic Environment
Principal Investigator: Cassar, Nicolas
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5273. This project will collect lichen, bryophyte (moss, liverwort and hornwort) and soil samples from Dundas Peninsula and north Banks Island while traveling on the French ecotourism ship Le Commandant Charcot during a cruise through the Northwest Passage from Iceland to Alaska. The project will be carried out opportunisti...


Erosion of old organic carbon in the Mackenzie River Basin
Principal Investigator: Hilton, Robert G
Licensed Year(s): 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4678. The research team will collect a new sample set to better quantify the carbon source, age and fate in one of the largest rivers draining the high latitudes. Based on previous work, the team have identified three priority objectives for sample collection in the Mackenzie River: 1) Collect river depth profile sediment ...


Permafrost regions in transition: controls on carbon cycling and greenhouse gas emissions
Principal Investigator: Wookey, Philip A
Licensed Year(s): 2014 2013
Summary: This research aims to understand what factors affect 1) the amount of carbon stored in tundra soils, and 2) the conversion of this soil carbon into greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane). In particular, the research team wants to understand how hydrology (which is the distribution and movement of water in soils and streams) might affect the carbon cycle under future global warming. This inc...
