Summary: This study will examine the effects of permafrost and flooding on the ecological structure and carbon exchange of contrasting lakes in the Mackenzie River Delta. Patterned ground marked by ice-wedge polygons is formed by freezing and thawing of the soil, which forms cracks into which ice can spread and cause the soil to uplift. These processes have effects on the hydrology and water chemistry of a...

Summary: Project a: essentially fifth year of research (sixth-year if associated work in 2000 is counted), and seeks to continue heretofore successful investigations into the nature, substance and long-term effects of contact between Copper Inuit and Europeans/Eurocanadians in the 19th and 20th centuries utilizing sociocultural, archaeological, and economic methodologies, b. Project seeks to initiate a col...

Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008 2007 2006
Summary: This study is designed to fill gaps in Environment Canada’s understanding of the aquatic environment potentially impacted by various aspects of the Mackenzie Gas Project (MGP). Potential stressors including: increased erosion, nutrient releases from sewage discharges, other chemical releases, water withdrawals, impacts of barge traffic, increased atmospheric emissions, etc. The focus will be on th...

Principal Investigator: Evans, Kevin
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: Research program on the fish, plankton and benthic communities. Potential effects of the drilling program on benthos include effects of chemical contaminants from drilling fluid wastes on the benthic community and hence the food web, and loss/change in b...

Principal Investigator: Siferd, Tim
Licensed Year(s): 2000 1999
Summary: The objective of this study is to determine population size or growth rate and recruiment levels for clams and other benthic resources in Sachs Harbour, Blue Fox Harbour, and Sea Otter Harbour. Sampling for the project will be conducted from the vessel Tucho Mariner and an additional Coast Guard launch. Equipment/sampling devices for the project include an underwater camera system, QTC view sea...

Principal Investigator: Hebben, Thorsten
Licensed Year(s): 1999
Summary: The objective of this study is to examine the migratory habits of epipelic algae in 10 small, shallow bodies of water in the region of the arctic circle. A 3/4 ton 4x4 pickup truck will be used to travel to each of ten ponds located 6 km north of Inuvik, N.W.T. The ponds will be sampled over a period of 2 days each between July 6 and July 20, 1999, using a technique perfected during the summer o...

Principal Investigator: Gandia, Ruben
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: Clean and contaminated sediments, effluent and liquid municipal waste, and selected species of amphipods will be collected by government and non-government researchers as other field research is conducted. All collections will be shipped to the Beak laboratory for analyses. Testing will involve a measurement of the contaminants in the sediments as well as measuring the degree of toxicity that th...

Principal Investigator: Bailey, Robert C.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To sample the organisms living on rock surfaces (benthic invertebrates) in at least 25 streams fo the Mackenzie Delta area. The number of species present and their relative abundance will be estimated and correlated with environmental factors such as the stream size and flow rate. Habitat data will also be collected at each site....
