Principal Investigator: Hille, Erika C
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5596. The objectives of this study are to conduct spatially detailed surveys of water quality and stream discharge along the Miner River, in order to examine how water quality responds to organic-rich peatland tributary streams and retrogressive thaw slumping; and, to examine the seasonal water quality of Caribou Creek and...

Principal Investigator: Gammon, Paul R
Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4544. The objectives of this research are: 1) To investigate the environmental chemistry of the borrow pits and immediate surrounding areas to determine what, if any, environmental risk do the elevated concentrations represent; 2) To investigate the environmental chemistry of an undisturbed area around the Inuvik to Tukto...

Principal Investigator: Charette, Matthew
Licensed Year(s): 2016
Summary: The objectives are to measure a suite of trace elements and isotopes (TEIs) in the active layer and permanently frozen layer of permafrost cores sampled near the Mackenzie River, and to compare these concentrations to those observed in submarine groundwater discharge and Mackenzie River discharge in order to determine whether permafrost-associated TEIs are being transported to the coastal Arctic. ...

Summary: Year 2 of this four-year project involves detailed mapping of landslides and collection of soil samples. Soil sampling will be carried out by digging shallow test pits with hand tools or by using a small hand-held, gas-operated coring machine. It is estimated that up to six test pits of about 1.5m diameter and about 1.5m deep will be excavated at a site; however, the total number of test pits to b...

Summary: The goal of this research is to monitor the coastal response to storms and coastal vulnerability to climate change. The primary objectives of this project are to: 1) map the western Canadian Arctic coastline in terms of its sensitivity to coastal erosion...

Summary: The investigator will measure change in the ground due to uplift, by the growth of a pingo and from side to side by the ground cooling in winter. Air, ground water and lake temperatures will be measured. This information will be used to understand how permafrost is responding to climate variation. Travel to sites is by helicopter and snow machine. At the site the investigators will stay at a cab...
