Beaufort Sea Geoscience Research Program: 2022 Activities
Principal Investigator: Hong, Jongkuk
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5183. The Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI), Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) are proposing to conduct the marine Research Program. The proposed Research Program includes ship-based surveys, geologic surveys and sampling,...


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...


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.5181. The combined temperature and active layer monitoring network extends from Fort Simpson to the Arctic Coast. With monitoring instrumentation already in place through work under previous licenses, the main work of this phase will be data collection. While different parts of the network can be visited at different times ...


Hydrothermal Regime of Riparian Terrain in Continuous Permafrost, Western Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Ensom, Timothy P
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5168. The specific objectives of the project are as follows: 1) Determine the spatial extent, distribution, and timing of winter icing events in streams along the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH) through ground-based and aerial reconnaissance of stream crossings; 2) Identify relations between physical watershed charact...


Validation of Wind LiDaR in Canadian Subarctic
Principal Investigator: Gall, Patrick N.
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5158. The goal of this project is to verify that wind LiDaR technology has reached a suitable maturity that it can be used in place of a meteorological tower to perform wind resource assessment in subarctic and arctic conditions. The study will use an existing NRG 60m Meteorological tower located in Norman Wells, and a ...


Solar Resource Monitoring in Inuvik, NT
Principal Investigator: Gall, Patrick N.
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5156. The objective of this solar resource monitoring campaign is to calibrate existing local solar resource monitoring equipment as well as confirm data available through various national and international solar irradiance databases such as the Canadian Weather Energy and Engineering Dataset (CWEEDS). Providing this calibr...


A Program to Evaluate Changing Northern Lake Ice Regimes
Principal Investigator: Dibike, Yonas
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5155. The objective of this project is to complete on ice snow depth, ice thickness and composition survey along with collection under ice core water quality information. Sample locations from previous years are located using a handheld GPS. On ice snow depth is measured using a tape measure. An ice auger is used to pene...


Permafrost conditions along the Dempster-ITH corridor
Principal Investigator: Stockton, Emma
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5130. The first objective of this research is to understand how ground temperatures vary within the highway embankment between the border on the Dempster Highway and the north end of the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway. The road surface varies little between these points and it is cleared in winter, so conditions should be un...


MOSES Rapid Permafrost Thaw
Principal Investigator: Boike, Julia
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2020 2019 2018
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5023. The goals for this expedition are to test new equipment for characterizing the energy fluxes from and around thermokarst slumps and to establish a baseline for future subsidence measurements. Additionally, lake and atmospheric methane concentrations in relation to thermokarst slumps will be quantified. The research...


Beaufort Sea Coastal and Nearshore Geoscience Research
Principal Investigator: Whalen, Dustin JR
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4991. The primary objectives are to provide the means to improve the knowledge of physical conditions in the Arctic coastal zone in order to help government agencies, corporations and local residents understand mitigate and reduce the impacts of climate driven changes work taking place in 2021 is critical to better our unde...
