Licensed Year(s): 2010 2009
Summary: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application no. 946. The objective of this research is to better understand the distribution of underground ice in hydrocarbon development areas. By identifying how much ice there is, the researcher wants to study how oil/gas activities and climate change could affect the land. Underground ice is one of the most unpredictable and problema...

Summary: A 16 foot inflatable boat and 40 hp motor will be used in junction with helicopters to transport 2 people and assorted equipment to coastal locations along the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula, North Head and Mackenzie Delta. Each location is the site of long-term monitoring where repeat surveys are performed. The surveys are done to measure changes in water depth, erosion rate, sediment type and permafros...

Principal Investigator: Harwood, Lois
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: Members of each of the communities will be hired to sample and measure the ringed seals taken in the spring and summer harvests. These monitors will be trained prior to the field season in order to collect data on the size and location of the harvests, as well as measurements on the seals harvested including sexual maturity, health, and condition. Samples of tissue taken will include jaws, lungs...
