Principal Investigator: Juhls, Bennet
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5542. The proposed project aims to directly observe seasonally strongly variable organic carbon concentrations and chemistry of the Mackenzie River and thus its fluxes to Arctic coastal waters. The research team aim for weekly observations of Mackenzie River biogeochemistry during a period covering the major phases of the h...

Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5387. The purpose of this research is to explore the ways in which Applied Theatre can be used in educational settings to create safer environments for 2SLGBTQIA+ (Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and/or Questioning, Intersex, Asexual) youth located in remote and rural communities. The research will ta...

Principal Investigator: Koutnik, Michelle
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5390. The research team propose investigating icy Arctic scarps as analogues for ice-exposing scarps on Mars. Scarp-side exposures of massive tabular ice, overlain by a polygonized overburden dotted with thermokarstic depressions, occur in the continuous and extremely deep permafrost of the Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands in the Can...

Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5519. The aim of this study is to inform pathways for incorporating more country food activities into existing food programming in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) (including school food programs and daycares) that are guided by the wants and needs of children and youth. The overall objectives of this study are to det...

Principal Investigator: McMahon, Rob
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5515. Along with research outcomes regarding digital technology adoption and use, this project continues to contribute to a strong foundation for sustainable, appropriate digital literacy training in the NWT, at a time of rapid development of digital infrastructure (through the Mackenzie Valley Fibre Link and other major in...

Principal Investigator: Krumpen, Thomas
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5486. IceBird Winter 2023 is part of a long-term sea ice observation program within the IceBird aircraft campaign series. IceBird was initiated in 2018 with the objective to ensure the long-term availability of a unique data record of direct sea-ice thickness observations to understand the role of the sea ice component for ...

Principal Investigator: Exner-Cortens, Deinera
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5502. The primary objectives are to describe the implementation of WiseGuyz with adolescent boys in the Beaufort Delta Education Council (BDDEC), in terms of the lived experiences of a) the youth participants and b) the facilitators/other key program stakeholders in the community; and, to generate culturally-appropriate kno...

Principal Investigator: Rutter, Nick
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5463. The objectives of this project are to develop improved understanding of, and ability to predict, snowcover properties from numerical models used to simulate climate and hydrology in northern regions; to consider the integrated effect of climate on vegetation, snow, permafrost, and lakes; and, to develop improved predi...

Principal Investigator: Morse, Peter D
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5500. The goals of this multi-year-long project are to assess greenhouse gas (methane and carbon dioxide) release from warming permafrost and tundra lakes in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) and to study associated carbon dynamics and microbiological processes, including the release of mercury to the environment. ...
