Quantification of carbon fluxes and ecosystem characteristics in permafrost regions with a special focus on the impact of degradation processes
Principal Investigator: Goeckede, Mathias
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5971. As part of the ERC-synergy project Q-Arctic, we plan to investigate biogeochemical and biogeophysical processes along transects following landscape gradients, and study carbon cycle processes within small to medium-sized lakes including their watersheds. Gradients on land include natural variability within heterogen...


Mapping, monitoring and modelling permafrost change in the NWT
Principal Investigator: Kokelj, Steve V
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5855. The primary objectives of this research are 1) to develop and test new methods of characterizing permafrost and monitoring permafrost landscape change with a focus on the Beaufort Delta, central Mackenzie Valley and North Slave regions; 2) mapping sensitive permafrost terrain across NWT by integrating expert ass...


Three-Dimensional multi-methodological Investigation of Retrogressive Thaw Slumps in the Mackenzie Delta region (3DIRTS)
Principal Investigator: Kunz, Julius
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5655. This project aims to investigate the three-dimensional subsurface structures in the vicinity of active retrogressive thaw slumps and their relationship to spatio-temporal slump-development. The number and activity of retrogressive thaw slumps have increased during the last decades due to climatic, hydrologic and ther...


DEPTHAW
Principal Investigator: Overduin, Pier Paul
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5561. Through ERT and PS methods, the extent and depth will be mapped to the top of ice-bearing permafrost (IBP) offshore of Tuktoyaktuk Island. On land, ERT surveys will also reveal information on permafrost characteristics like ice content, but offshore, tools can only reliably map the thickness of the unfrozen body (tali...


Determination of near-surface permafrost extent in the Mackenzie Delta
Principal Investigator: Nguyen, Thai-Nguyen
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005
Summary: The climate and numerous field reports indicate that permafrost should be continuous in the Mackenzie Delta. However, the most recent permafrost map in the Atlas of Canada classifies the delta as having discontinuous permafrost. Yet, no extensive fieldwork covering the entire delta has ever been realized. Unfrozen conditions beneath the ground, near shifting channels, have been recognized by vario...


2004 Terrestrial Studies in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region
Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004 2003 2002
Summary: Imperial Oil Resources Ventures Limited, Aboriginal Pipeline Group, ConocoPhillips Canada (North) Limited, Shell Canada Limited, and ExxonMobil Canada Properties are continuing baseline studies begun in 2001 as part of the Mackenzie Gas Project. This por...


The influence of sedimentation on permafrost distribution, Richards Island, NWT.
Principal Investigator: Dyke, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: To place temperature probes using a water jet to measure temperatures beneath a 2 km long spit at the north end of Richards Island to determine if the accumulation of these sediments has influenced the distribution of permafrost....
