Principal Investigator: Charette, Matthew
Licensed Year(s): 2016
Summary: The objectives are to measure a suite of trace elements and isotopes (TEIs) in the active layer and permanently frozen layer of permafrost cores sampled near the Mackenzie River, and to compare these concentrations to those observed in submarine groundwater discharge and Mackenzie River discharge in order to determine whether permafrost-associated TEIs are being transported to the coastal Arctic. ...

Summary: The objective of this research is to assess the performance of lagoons and wetlands in the treatment of municipal wastewater in Canada's Arctic. A secondary objective is to determine the occurrence of trace contaminants in northern wastewaters. Samples will be taken from the influent (raw sewage) and effluent (treated wastewater) select wastewater systems. Samples will be taken during the perio...

Summary: The researcher will continue to collect samples of ground ice and measure temperatures in lakes and ponds. This information is used to help understand how the ground heaves as it freezes in winter, and to determine the extent of soil settlement during thaw in summer. The information about lakes is used to help understand the relations between water depths and temperatures beneath the lake....

Summary: This research involves a variety of activities that involve investigating the chemical makeup of ice, streams and lakes. In addition, some work will be conducted on measuring the microscopic and larger organisms (e.g., algae and bugs) present in streams. Most of the field work will be based out of the Inuvik Research Centre with some work conducted in collaboration with Dr. P. Marsh at Trail Val...

Summary: The Researchers will study the role of the snowcover in controlling both streamflow and the movement of solutes/nutrients/pollutants through both tundra and forested ecosystems. Computer models will also be developed to predict the distribution and properties of snow, its melt and runoff during the spring period, and the release of solutes/nutrients/pollutants from the snow....

Principal Investigator: Smith, Daniel W.
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To sample treated and untreated domestic water supplies for physical and chemical analysis, (e.g. turbidity, color, temperature and trace elements analysis, e.g. lead, zinc, silver and cadmium)....

Principal Investigator: Sherstone, David A.
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To acquire aerial photography of hydrologic characteristics of ice break-up and movement in the Mackenzie and lower Liard Rivers. To acquire photography of river break-up and environmentally sensitive areas along the proposed Arctic Islands pipeline route from Churchill to Spence Bay. To acquire photography of specific glaciology research sites throughout the Arctic Islands (with emphasis on the...
