Noell Lake Ice Study - Hydro-ecological Responses of Arctic Tundra Lakes to Climate Change and Landscape Perturbation
Principal Investigator: Wrona, Frederick J
Licensed Year(s): 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009
Summary: The overall objective of this research is to improve the knowledge on lake ice and its effect on food webs/productivity in small Arctic lake systems in order to better predict changes that could occur under changing climate. The research involves the automated ice buoy and instrumented subsurface mooring system for continuous monitoring of weather conditions, lake ice cover (formation, growth o...


ArcticNet: an Integrated Regional Impact Study of the Coastal Western Canadian Arctic.
Principal Investigator: Fortier, Martin
Licensed Year(s): 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2007 2006 2005 2004
Summary: The central aim of the ArcticNet marine-based research program is to study on a long-term basis how climate induced changes are impacting the marine ecosystem, contaminant transport, biogeochemical fluxes, and exchange processes across the ocean-sea ice-atmosphere interface in the Canadian Arctic Ocean. Ultimately, the knowledge generated from this multi-year program will be integrated into regio...


Evaluation of hydro-climatic drivers of contaminant transfer in aquatic food webs in the Husky Lakes Watershed (Inuvialuit Settlement Region, NWT)
Principal Investigator: Gantner, Nikolaus (Klaus)
Licensed Year(s): 2013 2012 2011
Summary: The long term goals of this research are: 1. to identify and quantify the physical, chemical and ecological processes that affect contaminant transfer in Arctic aquatic food webs in response to observed and predicted climate variability & change in the Husky Lakes Watershed (HLW); and 2. to provide people and regulators of Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk with tools to effectively monitor selected highly...


Amendment - Hydro-ecological Responses of Arctic Tundra Lakes to Climate Change and Landscape Perturbation
Principal Investigator: Wrona, Frederick J
Licensed Year(s): 2011 2010 2009
Summary: The overall objective of this research is to improve our knowledge on present-day food webs/productivity in small Arctic pond/lake systems in order to better predict changes that could occur under changing climate. The methodology described below pertains to all research activities related to this research component dealing with fish. All other research activities related to this work were revi...


Biogeochemistry of Lakes in the Mackenzie Delta
Principal Investigator: Lesack, Lance
Licensed Year(s): 2017 2016 2015 2014 2010 2009 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993
Summary: Specific activities for this field season include the following: (1) Resolution of the sources and fates of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in aquatic food webs of the Mackenzie Delta (year 3 of PhD thesis project of S. Tank). This information is needed to ultimately understand the relative role of bacterial (fueled by DOC) versus photosynthetic organisms and their importance in ultimately sup...


Human and chemical ecology of arctic pathways taken by marine pollutants
Principal Investigator: Kassam, Karim-Aly S.
Licensed Year(s): 1999
Summary: Research will begin with the development of a database of existing information concerning impact of pollutants on the human ecology. An interview protocol will be developed for collecting indigenous knowledge on the impact of chemical pollutants. By training two researchers in each community surveyed, local indigenous knowledge will be collected through participation by community based staff. All ...


Biology, Ecology and Cold Tolerance of Arctic Insects
Principal Investigator: Ring, Richard A.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1990 1987
Summary: The researcher and his team will collect and identify arctic insects. Such studies should lead to a better understanding of food webs in Arctic ecosystems which are often regarded as fragile but complex, and could prove useful in monitoring more subtle effects on food chains brought about by disruption of the habitat by physical or chemical forces....
