Measuring surface displacement using winter SAR
Principal Investigator: Rabus, Bernhard
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5676. The objective of this research is to determine: 1) the accuracy of existing physical models of the Interferometric synthetic-aperture radar (InSAR) dry snow signal; 2) if the snow signature can be removed to enable accurate measurement of heave from winter refreezing in the active layer. There are currently three ...

Effects of permafrost thaw and vegetation shifts on carbon and mercury cycling
Principal Investigator: Wild, Birgit
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5564. The main goal of the project is to understand how gradients in tundra vegetation and permafrost thaw affect soil carbon and mercury cycling. This will allow the research team to assess how permafrost thaw and changes in vegetation in a warmer climate could alter future carbon dioxide fluxes and impact mercury cycling ...

Perma-X Airborne Campaign 2023
Principal Investigator: Grosse, Guido
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5656. The objective is to conduct airborne surveys at 3300ft (1000m) altitude to collect high-resolution aerial images and LiDAR elevation data that can be used to describe and quantify rates of permafrost thaw, coastal erosion, thaw slumping, lake change, and vegetation change. Daily survey flights (depending on cloud-fre...

Changing beaver distribution and occupancy in north-west Canada
Principal Investigator: Wheeler, Helen
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5634. Objectives: 1, To monitor beaver occurrence changes; 2, To assess past beaver occupancy patterns using shrub ring analysis; and, 3, To understand how permanent and transient beaver populations impact their environment. Activities: 1. Conduct canoe and boat-based visual surveys to map beaver distribution in the...

Recent, rapid environmental change in the western Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Thienpont, Joshua
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5573. To understand how landscape changes caused by climate warming are impacting aquatic ecosystems, particularly lakes and streams. These disturbances focus primarily on permafrost thaw, in the form of thaw slumps and landslides. The understanding derived will allow better understanding of how water quality and aquatic ha...
