Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5835. This research project will focus on how Muslims make sense of Islam in environments around the Arctic Circle in Canada. There, religious traditions seem more challenged than elsewhere. For example, because of the extreme light conditions. Research will strive to answer: • How do Muslims in the Arctic live their live...

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...

Principal Investigator: Gammon, Paul R
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5828. This project will investigate the permafrost systems that underlie problematic localities along the Dempster Highway. It will link, through geochemical and hydrogeological measurements, the permafrost, groundwater, surface water, soil and dust processes to generate a more wholistic perspective of the permafrost, wate...
