Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5463. The objectives of this project are to develop improved understanding of, and ability to predict, snowcover properties from numerical models used to simulate climate and hydrology in northern regions; to consider the integrated effect of climate on vegetation, snow, permafrost, and lakes; and, to develop improved predi...

Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5496. The objectives of this project are: 1) to develop improved understanding of, and ability to predict, snowcover formation and melt, as well as stream discharge in northern regions; 2) consider the integrated effect of climate on vegetation, snow, permafrost, streamflow, and lakes; and 4) develop improved predictive mod...

Summary: The primary objectives of the project are to map the coastline of the Canadian Beaufort Sea in terms of its sensitivity to coastal erosion and monitor changes in the coastline, and to collect information on the morphology of the coast and the sediments which compose it for use in developing and calibrating predictive models of coastal change. In order to achieve these objectives previously proven ...

Summary: The Twin Otter, operated by the National Research Council of Canada, will be stationed at the Inuvik Airport (most likely in the RCMP hanger). Support equipment for the aircraft and for data analysis will be shipped to Inuvik and installed at the hanger and in the Finto Hotel. No installation or infrastructure is required elsewhere in the field. Data collected from the aircraft (operating at 60m)...

Summary: Since fire is most wide spread agent of change in the northern forest, society should know how climatic warming will influence the force. The fire history of the Mackenzie Delta Region is known only through fire suppresion records over the past 25 years. Spot checks on the landscape have been made, but no longer record of 5-20 decades is available. Tree ring approaches will be used in this study...
