Recent changes in carbon source-sink relationships and greenhouse gas emissions in forest and peatland ecosystems along the Mackenzie Valley region of Canada
Principal Investigator: Bhatti, Jagtar
Licensed Year(s): 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007
Summary: The objective of this research is to assess variations and processes controlling CO2, CH4 and N2O dynamics along the Mackenzie Valley, to investigate the amount and character of greenhouse gases released, and to understand conditions controlling soil GHG emissions. Soil gas sample tubes will be sampled on a seasonal basis for gas concentration (CH4, N2O, CO2) and isotope ratios. The response of...


Fire, carbon budget and climate change
Principal Investigator: Wein, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The research team will be examining areas of permafrost south of Inuvik and near Hay River in order to assess the rate of loss of permafrost as a result of the warming in climate over the past twenty years. The loss in permafrost may be speeded up following a local fire. The wetlands that replace these areas of permafrost could lead to a greater production of methane (one of the gases that contr...
