Summary: The objective of the seabed mapping program is to conduct a regional survey of the Beaufort shelf over the next two years. Ice scouring processes, benthic habitats, abandoned artificial islands, pingo-like features, gas seeps, seafloor foundation conditions, subsea permafrost and coastal stability will be investigated. The Coast Guard vessel CCGS Nahidik will be used as the research platform...

Summary: This study is designed to fill science gaps in Environment Canada’s understanding of the structure and functioning of the aquatic environment potentially impacted by various aspects of the Mackenzie Gas Project. While data collected during the Environmental Impact Assessment studies (carried out in conjunction with the proposed construction and operation of the Mackenzie Gas Pipeline) are relative...

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...

Summary: Several environmental and engineering studies were conducted between 2001 and 2006 to assess a proposed pipeline in the Mackenzie Valley. These studies will continue in 2007 and 2008. Route and site reconnaissance will be by helicopter, and crews will land at selected sites based on observations made during the flight. Reconnaissance surveys of road-water crossings will be performed. Pipeline-...

Summary: The Aquatic Effects Study will include the general components of fisheries, water quality, river hydraulics, ferry landing operations, and traditional knowledge (TK). The specific Study objectives are as follows: (1) Complete an assessment of fish habitat quality including photographs; (2) Determine which fish species utilize the area; (3) Collect Gwich'in TK in relation to fish and fish habitat. ...

Principal Investigator: Ferguson, Brian
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher will visit selected locations on the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula in order to measure the physical and chemical characteristics of streams as well as to document the different types of freshwater animals found in these streams. This information will be important in assessing the fish habitats and fishery potential of the region. In addition, the information may be important in assessing ...

Principal Investigator: Webb, R.
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The purpose of this research is to place automated instruments to measure the wind, temperature, water levels and wave height and frequency at or near a planned drill site for Shell Canada. These instruments will be installed and monitored during our visit to the site and then the instruments will be left to collect data until they are picked up on September 15, 1993. Bird movements and their ha...
