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: Morse, Peter D
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5500. The goals of this multi-year-long project are to assess greenhouse gas (methane and carbon dioxide) release from warming permafrost and tundra lakes in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) and to study associated carbon dynamics and microbiological processes, including the release of mercury to the environment. ...

The objectives of this project are: 1) to develop improved understanding of, and ability to predict, snowcover formation and melt, as well as stream discharge in northern regions; 2) consider the integrated effect of climate on vegetation, snow, permafrost, streamflow, and lakes; and 4) develop improved predictive mod...

Principal Investigator: Giesel, Chelsea
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5469. The goals of this project are to determine the knowledge, attitudes and behaviours (KAB) of Inuit youth and new or expecting parents in select Western Arctic communities toward cannabis use; and, to share cannabis harm reduction tools and information and assess their effectiveness and determine persisting gaps in cann...

Principal Investigator: Wilson, Alice
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5475. The primary objective of this research is to determine the influence of snow manipulation on permafrost temperatures in different environments along the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH). A secondary objective is to better understand the relationship between snow cover and ground surface temperatures in both natural...

Principal Investigator: O'Gorman, Melanie
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5397. The short-term objectives of this research project are: 1) to identify factors contributing to Inuit teacher resilience and retention based on analysis of an online survey of Inuit educators and teacher education students; and, 2) to develop policy recommendations based on the survey findings to support Inuit teacher ...

Principal Investigator: van der Sanden, Joost J.
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5480. This project aims to collect field data for use in the development of methods that will enable the application of images from Canada’s RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) to the mapping and monitoring of river and lake ice properties and processes. The research team expect the fieldwork to take place on approximat...

Principal Investigator: Chatwood, Susan
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5254. The objective is study the impact of COVID-19 on Indigenous people in the Northwest Territories. The research team hope this study will produce high level policy recommendations for future pandemic response. Furthermore, the team hope the co-development of COVID 19 data and evidence will contribute to the development ...

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...

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 ...
