Paulatuk Wind and Solar Resource Assessment Monitoring Campaign
Principal Investigator: Schwarz, David
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5366. The objective of this project is to conduct a wind and solar resource assessment monitoring campaign in the community of Paulatuk, NT. Lidar has emerged as a powerful tool to remotely sense wind characteristics via measurement of the Doppler shift of light emitted by the lidar and scattered back from particles in ...


Lake and River Ice Fieldwork in Support of RADARSAT Constellation Mission Image Analysis
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...


Creating heat from waste: Biomass pellets from landfill destined cardboard
Principal Investigator: Gall, Patrick N.
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2020 2019 2018
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4927. Aurora Research Institute (ARI) will determine the economic, social, and environmental value from local production of pellets for biomass boilers. During this study ARI work with an industry partner to valuate and improve the quality of the product, and measure the efficiency and maintenance costs imposed by the cardb...


Mechanical and thermal design of embankments built on permafrost
Principal Investigator: Doré, Guy
Licensed Year(s): 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4629. The main objective is to develop a practical method for the mechanical and thermal design of embankments built on permafrost based on the properties of the active layer and of the permafrost as well as the loading conditions. The development of decision-making tools to select the optimal course and the optimal embankm...


Predicting the Future(s) of Renewable Energy in Canada's Arctic: MEOPAR Year of Polar Prediction Project
Principal Investigator: Monahan, Adam
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017
Summary: The objectives of this project are to: 1. Study how wind power and solar irradiance in the north will change in the future; 2. Working with GNWT and Power Corp, use an instrumented tower to understand the relationship between wind and solar power with larger-scale weather variations and to analyze problems such as mechanical stresses and ice loading; 3. Provide input to refine near-surface proc...


Comparing the snow depths and densities of different habitats in the Beaufort Delta region
Principal Investigator: Kasook, Davonna C
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017
Summary: The objective is to compare differences in snow depth, density and morphology of a heavily forested site and a tundra site. The Principal Investigator (PI) will study the effect landscape (forest vs. tundra) has on seasonal snow pack evolution and physical properties (density, temperature, snow grain morphology, and stratigraphy) of the snowpack. These results will be compared to historical data (...


Tarsiut Caissons - Removal and Remediation Plan
Principal Investigator: Marshall, John J
Licensed Year(s): 2013
Summary: The objective of this project at Thetis Bay is to ensure there is no unforeseen debris in the water around the caissons prior to moving. The objective at Tuktoyaktuk is to see if the caissons could be moved close enough to shore to offer a benefit to mitigate shore erosion. One small bathymetry vessel would be used in the program and one large Northern Transportation Company (NTCL) mainline tu...


Renewable energies: Design and Testing Zero-head Micro hydro turbine,Solar/Hydrogen fuel cell testing
Principal Investigator: Mutua, Daniel
Licensed Year(s): 2010
Summary: Objectives are to: 1. Design and test zero-head hydro-electric turbines under low flow, i.e. less than 1 m/sec velocity, for the purpose of utilizing locally available renewable hydro resources; 2. Solar/Hydrogen fuel cell testing; 3. Evaluate the feasibility of an NWT-based commercial venture to manufacture and sell these turbines, and/or integrated energy systems. In rivers where ther...


Environmental Screening of the Inuvik Airport Runway Extension
Principal Investigator: Thomas, Craig J
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: The objective of the study under this licence is to determine a general inventory of the physical features of the proposed project site, focusing primarily on the terrain and vegetation. The Government of the Northwest Territories, Department of Transportation, Airports Division is looking to extend the length of the existing runway at its Inuvik Airport from 6,000 ft. to 9,000 ft. It is curre...


Proposed ConocoPhillips Canada (North) Limited Parsons Lake Gas Field Summer 2007 Access Research Program
Principal Investigator: Henderson, Bob C.
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: The objective of this research program is to collect topographical information relating to the potential for: (a) a winter access road for the transport of large modules from the east channel of the Mackenzie River, from the vicinity of the mouth of Pete's Creek and the Lucas Point area, to the proposed Parsons Lake north pad site; (b) a barge anchorage location on the east channel of the Mackenzi...
