Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5908. 1) Use remote sensing (Landsat, QuickBird, InSAR, Airphotos, and Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems (RPAS)) to document regional landscape change (tundra fire, infrastructure, saline flooding, slumps, subsidence, vegetation change, lake drainage / expansion, etc.). 2) Use field sampling and monitoring to determine the c...

Summary: The objective of this study is to determine if the plant community composition of seeded and unseeded disturbances in the Mackenzie Delta is similar to the undisturbed tundra. This comparison may help determine best practices of recovery for native vegetation to use in future oil and gas projects in the region. The vegetation data will be collected using non-destructive methods including species p...

Summary: Vegetation communities along the pipeline route and over other parts of the Project area would be provisionally mapped from aerial photographs. A field survey would be undertaken with an emphasis on identifying rare plants. The study area is in the Caribou Hills IBP site 4-9, which was in part proposed because of its rare flora. July is an optimum time for a single survey. Also transect sampling ...

Summary: The research will document long-term recovery rates on permanent research plots that were established on a range of tundra disturbances. In the 1970's disturbance surveys and experiments on a wide range of topics provided short-term results and predictions on recovery rates. This project will collect comparable data to validate these short term predictions and will also help to develop some ideas ...

Licensed Year(s): 1975
Summary: To develop an understanding of the heat balance of undisturbed soil and vegetation and develop a computer model which will predict the consequences in the active layer of disturbances of the surface strata for Arctic Land Use Research Program....
