Watershed-scale geomorphic response to climate change in the Aklavik Range, NWT
Principal Investigator: Strauss, Justin Vincent
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5411. or this latest phase of research, the research team propose to integrate field observations, geochemical techniques, and historical remote sensing analysis to quantify the rates and processes by which sediment is generated from bedrock and transported downslope via hillslope and river processes under a changing climat...

Organic carbon cycle in the Mackenzie delta lakes
Principal Investigator: Lattaud, Julie
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5187. The project will study the dynamics of deltaic lake ecosystems over the past century through the application of recently developed molecular (lipid biomarker) and isotopic (radiocarbon and stable isotopes) proxies to lake sedimentary records. This will unravel the impact of old carbon input into aquatic ecosystems. Ra...

Nitrogen sources for Arctic freshwaters (NitroFresh)
Principal Investigator: Pastor, Ada
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5034. The main aim of Nitrofresh is to assess the nitrogen (N) sources for streams and the linkages between terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems across different regions with continuous permafrost in High Arctic. In particular, the research team have three objectives: 1) to quantify and characterize N pools along the ripar...

Examining the impacts of climate and environmental change on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems of the Mackenzie region, NWT
Principal Investigator: Pisaric, Michael FJ
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009
Summary: This research will continue the long term objective of documenting and understanding the impacts of recent climate change on northern terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The short term objectives of my research for 2018 are: 1) to investigate the impacts of permafrost degradation and subsequent thaw slumping on freshwater ecosystems; 2) to examine the limnological implications of drained lakes on ...

Palynology (Mackenzie Valley Global Change), study of the climatic change along the Mackenzie River and on the Arctic Islands.
Principal Investigator: Jette, Helene
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1993 1992
Summary: The researcher will sample a variety of lakes (some 50 lakes altogether) around Inuvik. A hole, approximately 8 inches in diameter, will be bored through the ice in each lake. Using an Ekman sampler, lake bottom sediments (mud) will be collected for analysis in the lab. The researchers will get to each of the lakes bt helicopter and spend approximately 15 to 20 minutes at each lake....

Investigation of ground ice development in sediments of the Mackenzie Delta area
Principal Investigator: Burn, Chris R
Licensed Year(s): 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991
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....

Quaternary Geology of the Beaufort Sea Coastal Plain
Principal Investigator: Vincent, Jean-Serge
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The researcher and his team will complete a detailed paleomagnetic sampling of the glacial and nonglacial sediments in the Morgan Bluffs of eastern Banks Island, and collect samples of boulders for Chlorine 36 dating. The data will allow the team to confirm or disconfirm previously proposed correlations and establish on a firmer basis the chronological framework for one of the longest sequences o...

Vegetation Dynamics on Shorelines of Mackenzie Delta, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: Pearce, Cheryl M.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To analyze the environmental processes that control plant distribution and succession on shorelines of the Mackenzie Delta. Specific objectives of the research are to examine (1) the colonization and establishment on exposed mudflats and other newly-available sites, (2) the responses of the shoreline plants to fluctuations in the biophysical environment, and (3) the chemical and physical properti...
