Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5181. The combined temperature and active layer monitoring network extends from Fort Simpson to the Arctic Coast. With monitoring instrumentation already in place through work under previous licenses, the main work of this phase will be data collection. While different parts of the network can be visited at different times ...

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...

Principal Investigator: Miller, Glenn D
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: The objective of this research is to identify and document valued vegetation components in the vicinity of proposed winter activities. Each selected site will be assessed for important vegetation components, such as the potential for: rare plants and vegetation communities. The research will include photo documentation and visual observations to characterize each site for vegetation features. Inf...

Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2006
Summary: The objective of this project is to improve understanding of triggering factors and slope failure mechanisms of landslides in the Mackenzie Valley. This knowledge will enable better environmental impact assessments of new infrastructure projects in the region. Investigations of the 2006 site will be continued. Detailed mapping of landslides and soil sampling will be done. Three to five 1m x 1...

Principal Investigator: Seligman, Ben
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006
Summary: The proposed fieldwork is an expansion of previous years' fieldwork to develop a suitable knowledge base for planning and development. In addition, some routine maintenance at Camp Farewell will be conducted. The majority of the proposed work is planned for the Niglintgak area and is focused around the Gas Conditioning Facility (GCF) and the Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) crossing site, as ...

Principal Investigator: Nichol, Susan L.
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: The objective is to improve knowledge about landslides in the Mackenzie Valley. The results of this study will enable better environmental impact assessments and help to reduce environmental impacts related to the construction and operation of the proposed Mackenzie Valley pipeline. As well, the results will have a broader application to a wide range of future development activities in the region....

Principal Investigator: Graburn, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: This research forms part of an aerial reconnaissance program to observe the characteristic break-up patterns at selected watercourse crossings along the proposed pipeline right-of-way from the Deh Cho region in the south to the Inuvialuit Settlement Regi...

Principal Investigator: Lariviere, James
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: The objective of this fieldwork is to assess the non-renewable resources of the Richardson Mountains study area using geochemical sampling and analysis. This work is a requirement for the approval of the Gwich'in Land Use Plan by the federal government....

Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: Noise monitoring will be conducted within the Niglintgak, Taglu and Parsons Lake Leases as well as at select potential locations for facilities, infrastructure, access roads and granular resources in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region where there is the po...

Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002
Summary: Noise monitoring will be conducted in the Taglu lease and in the Swimming Point, Parsons Lake and Jimmy Lake regions. These data will provide estimates of background ambient noise which will be needed before construction of the Mackenzie Gas Project. Pr...
