Effects of snowpack temporal and physical properties affect wintertime carbon fluxes in Arctic landscapes
Principal Investigator: Rutter, Nick
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5822. The objectives of this project are: (1) To develop, deploy, and refine low-cost sensors to measure green house gas (GHG) concentrations. (2) To identify GHG concentration patterns within snowpacks at a landscape scale (1 to 10 square km). (3) To optimise winter carbon cycling in climate models, and scale up simula...


Dempster Highway Permafrost Processes
Principal Investigator: Gammon, Paul R
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5828. This project will investigate the permafrost systems that underlie problematic localities along the Dempster Highway. It will link, through geochemical and hydrogeological measurements, the permafrost, groundwater, surface water, soil and dust processes to generate a more wholistic perspective of the permafrost, wate...


Studies of greenhouse gas release and associated environmental processes with thawing permafrost in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region
Principal Investigator: Morse, Peter D
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5797. 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 ISR and to study associated carbon dynamics and microbiological processes, including the release of mercury to the environment. The first year of field activit...


“How I Survived”: An Exhibit on Recreation at Northern Residential Schools, Hostels, and Indian Day Schools
Principal Investigator: Dunkin, Jessica
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5769. The objectives of this research are: to share the stories of residential school survivors; to provide context for their experiences through related archival research; and to develop materials and resources that reflect and respect their diverse experiences of recreation while at residential school, hostels, and feder...
