Permafrost and ground hazard mapping along the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway using airborne geophysics
Principal Investigator: Froese, Duane G
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5688. The objectives of this research project are to: 1) fly multiple lines of airborne electromagnetic (AEM) geophysical data (between 4 and 6 parallel lines ~100 m apart) between Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk, beginning and ending just outside the communities; 2) using the geophysical and geological data, produce maps of the In...


Thermal State of Permafrost
Principal Investigator: Nicolsky, Dmitry
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5622. The research team will be visiting the research site in July of 2023 to collect data from existing instruments, as well as upgrade and repair as needed. Instrumentation at the site consists of a 3-meter tripod, a white instrument storage enclosure, and instruments to measure: 1) air temperature; 2) snow depth; 3) so...


THAWPOND-NWT – Remote sensing analysis of vegetation and thaw pond colour dynamics in the continuous permafrost zone: from local to regional (Northwest Territories, Arctic Canada)
Principal Investigator: Vieira, Gonçalo
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5639. The goal of this research project is to better understand the characteristics of various different lakes, how their characteristics vary, as well as their potential relation to permafrost thaw events in the recent or distant past. The frequency of occurrence across space and time as well as the variability of: 1) opt...


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 ...


Quantification of carbon fluxes and ecosystem characteristics in permafrost regions with a special focus on the impact of degradation processes
Principal Investigator: Goeckede, Mathias
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5609. As part of the ERC-synergy project Q-Arctic, the research team plans to investigate biogeochemical and biogeophysical processes along transects following landscape gradients. Such gradients include natural variability within heterogeneous permafrost landscapes, such as: a transect from dry upload tundra into a lower ...


Investigations of coastal ice exposures as analogues to ice-exposing scarps on Mars
Principal Investigator: Koutnik, Michelle
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5390. The research team propose investigating icy Arctic scarps as analogues for ice-exposing scarps on Mars. Scarp-side exposures of massive tabular ice, overlain by a polygonized overburden dotted with thermokarstic depressions, occur in the continuous and extremely deep permafrost of the Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands in the Can...


Studies of greenhouse gas release and environmental processes associated with thawing permafrost in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region
Principal Investigator: Morse, Peter D
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5500. 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 Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) and to study associated carbon dynamics and microbiological processes, including the release of mercury to the environment. ...


Snow compaction and permafrost monitoring
Principal Investigator: Wilson, Alice
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5475. The primary objective of this research is to determine the influence of snow manipulation on permafrost temperatures in different environments along the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH). A secondary objective is to better understand the relationship between snow cover and ground surface temperatures in both natural...


Invertebrate paleoecology of the Mackenzie River uplands region
Principal Investigator: Medeiros, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5455. To examine the effects of flooding and permafrost changes on the ecological function and structure of differing lakes in the Mackenzie River uplands region. The research team will drive to sites along the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway to collect 1 litre water samples from a small boat. The research team will be using...


Permafrost monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT
Principal Investigator: Smith, Sharon S
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5419. This project continues the on-going monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT. This phase of the project is largely data collection. Objectives are to provide baseline knowledge of permafrost and terrain conditions (specifically ground temperature and active la...
