Organic carbon cycle in the Mackenzie delta lakes
Principal Investigator: Lattaud, Julie
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5187. The project will study the dynamics of deltaic lake ecosystems over the past century through the application of recently developed molecular (lipid biomarker) and isotopic (radiocarbon and stable isotopes) proxies to lake sedimentary records. This will unravel the impact of old carbon input into aquatic ecosystems. Ra...


Where on Earth is fire-derived carbon stored?
Principal Investigator: Abiven, Samuel
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4956. The objective of this project are to measure the age and stock of organic carbon derived from wildfires (fire-derived carbon) in the Mackenzie River region and examine long- and short-term processes controlling the size and distribution of fire-derived carbon stocks in soils. The research team will measure fire-der...


Erosion of old organic carbon in the Mackenzie River Basin
Principal Investigator: Hilton, Robert G
Licensed Year(s): 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4678. The research team will collect a new sample set to better quantify the carbon source, age and fate in one of the largest rivers draining the high latitudes. Based on previous work, the team have identified three priority objectives for sample collection in the Mackenzie River: 1) Collect river depth profile sediment ...


Where on Earth is fire-derived carbon stored?
Principal Investigator: Abiven, Samuel
Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: The objective is to measure the age and stock of organic carbon derived from wildfires (fire-derived carbon) in the Mackenzie River region, and examine long- and short-term processes controlling the size and distribution of fire-derived carbon stocks in soils. The research team will measure fire-derived carbon stocks in soils and determine its age (radiocarbon dating) at four different location...


Airborne Observations in Support of NETCARE
Principal Investigator: Abbatt, Jon
Licensed Year(s): 2015
Summary: The NETCARE observations will be covered the range from Longyearbyen, Svalbard (European Arctic) until Inuvik (NWT – Polar 6 aircraft only) and Barrow (Alaska – Polar 5 aircraft only). The observational platforms will be two aircraft: 1) the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) POLAR 5, a modified DC-3 aircraft; and 2) the AWI POLAR 6, also a modified DC-3 aircraft. The two platforms will be coordin...


Links between permafrost stability and terrestrial organic carbon export from the Mackenzie River
Principal Investigator: Eglinton, Timothy I
Licensed Year(s): 2011 2009 2007
Summary: Although the widespread permafrost soils in the Arctic rim have the ability to retain terrestrial organic carbon for many millennia, evidence indicates that the recent global warming trend may potentially lead to rapid permafrost destabilization and abrupt release of carbon stored in this vast reservoir. To assess whether this process is underway, and to evaluate its impact on biogeochemical proce...
