Using Inuvialuit and Gwich'in observations to monitor environmental change in the Beaufort Delta Region
Principal Investigator: Lantz, Trevor C.
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6148. The core objective of this research is to work with Inuvialuit and Gwich’in experts to document local observations of environmental conditions. Specifically, we will use semi-structured interviews and, where possible, land-based observation to document environmental conditions with photographs and videos georeference...


Remote sensing of winter snow and soil moisture status using airborne Ku and L- band Synthetic Aperture Radar observations (2025)
Principal Investigator: Kelly, Richard
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6137. The main objectives are: 1. to fly a novel Ku- and L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system over snow covered tundra land, lakes and sea ice in winter to obtain unique radar observations of these environments; 2. to use collected field measurements acquired by ongoing field work by P. Marsh's (PI) group at Trail ...


Sikunnguaq - “the likeness or image of ice in maps”
Principal Investigator: Scharien, Randall
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6130. This research project aims to develop sea ice information retrieval algorithms for satellite data, for safe sea ice travel needs as identified by Inuit (ice roughness, slush, and ice thickness). Information retrieval methods developed for satellite data will be transferred to prototype image product formats represent...


To what extent will nitrogen limit Canadian boreal forest growth and the terrestrial carbon sink under global change?
Principal Investigator: Kou-Giesbrecht, Sian
Licensed Year(s): 2025 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6084. The overarching objective of this research is to understand the extent to which nutrients will limit forest growth and terrestrial carbon sequestration in Canadian boreal forests and to improve how this is represented in climate change models. These climate change models can then be used to understand the impacts of ...


Linking Climate Change models with impacts on subsistence fisheries
Principal Investigator: Steiner, Nadja
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6095. 1. Continued discussions around the static calendar in order to assess potential future changes of species and subsistence activities. This will expand the communication and teaching tool within the community (elder-youth connection) (year 1) 2. A website/social media platform providing a) an online version of the c...


Carbon Capture by Boreal Afforestation: feasibility for Canada's net-zero emission goals
Principal Investigator: Whyte, Lyle
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6013. The overall goal of this project is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of carbon capture capacity of the northern tree line migration into the northern regions of Canada. Specifically, the research group's objective is to identify if soil and plant root associated microbial communities inhabiting areas very close ...


Resampling of Microalgal Communities and soil lipids in Lakes Across a 1400 km Transect from Yukon to Northwest Territories: Analysis of Changes Since 1993
Principal Investigator: Alibert, Marie
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5619. The objective of this study is to examine how climate change has impacted lake ecosystems and soils whether the changes follow a similar direction as those observed in Nunavik. Based on the results from Quebec, there should be a northward shift of different types of microalgal communities because of vegetation evolut...


Hydrology of Northern Latitudes
Principal Investigator: Marsh, Philip
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5842. The objectives of this project are to: (1) develop improved understanding of, and ability to predict, the complex northern hydrologic system, (2) consider the integrated effect of the changing climate on vegetation, snow, permafrost, streamflow, and lakes, and (4) develop improved water models needed to predict futur...


Permafrost monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT
Principal Investigator: Smith, Sharon S
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5776. This project continues the on-going monitoring program of the same title (Licence # 17182) Permafrost monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT). This phase of the project is largely data collection. Objectives are: • To provide baseline knowledge of permafrost ...


Effects of snowpack temporal and physical properties affect wintertime carbon fluxes in Arctic landscapes
Principal Investigator: Rutter, Nick
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5822. The objectives of this project are: (1) To develop, deploy, and refine low-cost sensors to measure green house gas (GHG) concentrations. (2) To identify GHG concentration patterns within snowpacks at a landscape scale (1 to 10 square km). (3) To optimise winter carbon cycling in climate models, and scale up simula...
