NASA Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) Airborne Flights 2023
Principal Investigator: Miller, Charles E
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5601. From 2017 – 2022, ABoVE airborne teams collected data across a wide variety of ecosystems in both the US and Canada. Depending on available funds, the team may re-fly one of the sensors to collect hyperspectral data at several locations in 2023. For 2023, the NASA Dynamic Aviation King Air B-200 aircraft with a h...

Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5467. Objectives: To improve sustainability of Dolly Varden fisheries from the perspective of the Gwich’in and Inuvialuit communities that rely on them. Within that, specific Project Objectives include: 1) Document Indigenous Knowledge of population trends, environmental change, and cumulative impacts for Dolly Varden an...


Soundscape ecology to assess environmental controls on wildlife
Principal Investigator: Boelman, Natalie
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5555. Our objective is to install 3 Automated Recording Units (ARUs) that will collect daily audio recordings that will allow us to understand how variation in environmental conditions affect habitat use by birds. To begin, we will temporarily attach 3 ARUs onto 3 trees (using bungee cord or ratchet straps). All birds th...


Using Inuvialuit and Gwich'in observations to monitor environmental change in the Beaufort Delta Region
Principal Investigator: Lantz, Trevor C.
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4753. The core objective of this research is to work with Inuvialuit and Gwich’in experts to document and share local observations of environmental conditions. Over time this will build a record of observations, against which future changes can be compared. To document local observations this research will employ methods in...
