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 ...


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...


Quantifying carbon fluxes and budgets of boreal forest-tundra landscapes under the influence of rapidly changing permafrost regimes
Principal Investigator: Sonnentag, Oliver
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5220. The project of the present application is the continuation of year-round eddy covariance measurements of carbon, water and energy fluxes at Trail Valley Creek and Havikpak Creek, established in 2013. The key methodology is tower-mounted micrometeorological measurements around the eddy covariance technique using an ...


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 objectives of this research project are to: 1. map and assess changes in the distribution and composition of forest and peatland ecosystems due to climate changes; 2. estimate carbon storage (and variation) in boreal to arctic ecoregions of the Mackenzie valley; and 3. assess interannual and seasonal variations and key processes controlling carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) dynamics. ...


Public Attitudes and Awareness of Climate Change in the NWT
Principal Investigator: Little, Lois M.
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The project is being conducted by Lutra Associates Ltd. for the Arctic Energy Alliance. To provide a proper context for taking action on greenhouse gas emissions, the AEA wishes to ascertain information on the knowledge and attitudes amount youth in grades 5-12 about global warming and climate change. The Arctic Energy Alliance's survey of youth is designed to answer questions on climate change is...
