The water quality response of Arctic rivers to regional variability in landscape and permafrost conditions
Principal Investigator: Hille, Erika C
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5596. The objectives of this study are to conduct spatially detailed surveys of water quality and stream discharge along the Miner River, in order to examine how water quality responds to organic-rich peatland tributary streams and retrogressive thaw slumping; and, to examine the seasonal water quality of Caribou Creek and...

Studies of greenhouse gas release and associated environmental processes with thawing permafrost in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region
Principal Investigator: Morse, Peter D
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5797. The goals of this multi-year-long project are to assess greenhouse gas (methane and carbon dioxide) release from warming permafrost and tundra lakes in the ISR and to study associated carbon dynamics and microbiological processes, including the release of mercury to the environment. The first year of field activit...

Three-Dimensional multi-methodological Investigation of Retrogressive Thaw Slumps in the Mackenzie Delta region (3DIRTS)
Principal Investigator: Kunz, Julius
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5655. This project aims to investigate the three-dimensional subsurface structures in the vicinity of active retrogressive thaw slumps and their relationship to spatio-temporal slump-development. The number and activity of retrogressive thaw slumps have increased during the last decades due to climatic, hydrologic and ther...

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...

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...

Impacts of permafrost thaw on land cover and downstream water quality
Principal Investigator: Baltzer, Jennifer L
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5568. The primary objective of this project is to link long-term records of ground temperature and permafrost conditions with changes in landcover and water quality of adjacent ponds and lakes. In other words, how thawing permafrost alters terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem properties. Along the Mackenzie Valley corridor...
