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...

Principal Investigator: Abiven, Samuel
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4956. The objective of this project are to measure the age and stock of organic carbon derived from wildfires (fire-derived carbon) in the Mackenzie River region and examine long- and short-term processes controlling the size and distribution of fire-derived carbon stocks in soils. The research team will measure fire-der...

Principal Investigator: Gray, Derek K
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4966. The purpose of the proposed project is to improve the understanding of the effects of road development on lakes in Canada’s north. To achieve this purpose, the research team will pursue two objectives: 1) to determine if changes in water quality caused by road dust affects invertebrate communities (bugs and waterfleas...

Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4868. Just as high and low pressure systems drive normal weather, high and low voltages drive space weather. The radar network is designed to measure these voltage patterns several hundred kilometers above the ground, and these patterns project out into space along the Earth's magnetic field lines. The radar installation...

Principal Investigator: Alvarez, Alejandro
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4980. The objectives of this study are to: 1) evaluate the geologic setting including geochemistry, and radiocarbon ages to establish a regional history of the area; 2) investigate the geologic setting of multiple buried ice bodies; and 3) develop a geologic map along the southern Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH) highlig...

Principal Investigator: Korosi, Jennifer B
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4727. The research team will use lake sediment cores to track the history of shoreline permafrost thaw slump activity over the last several thousand years, and associated lake ecological responses to thaw slumping, in order to provide a long-term context for present-day observations. The team will select three pairs of ...

Licensed Year(s): 2021 2021 2020 2019 2018
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4934. The purpose of this study is to develop a method of characterizing the sensitivity and response of streams and rivers to regional variability in permafrost thaw in the Beaufort Delta Region, Western Canadian Arctic. All of the field team members are from within the NWT. This field program will follow the attached E...

Principal Investigator: Galloway, Jennifer
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4705. The Mackenzie River Basin (MRB) is one of the largest cold-water, intact boreal ecosystems in the world and has unique Earth-system’s processes associated with sea ice formation, global circulation of deep ocean currents, carbon storage, and biogeochemical cycling. This unique global resource is also critical for supp...

Principal Investigator: Hille, Erika C
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4743. The objective of this project is to compare and contrast the water quality of three watersheds with contrasting climatic and landscape characteristics, with the aim of identifying the climatic factors and landscape features that drive the water quality of streams located along the Dempster and Inuvik-to-Tuktoyaktuk Hi...
