The Traditional Knowledge, Food and Climate project
chercheur principal: Ostertag, Sonja K
Année(s) de permis: 2025
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6103. This project hasthree main objectives: 1) To combine traditional knowledge and academic science tools to co-develop traditional knowledge and food calendars in the ISR; 2) To learn about the country foods eaten by Inuvialuit children, youth, adults and Elders in the ISR, how this has changed over time and if there ...


Country Foods for Good Health Initiatives across the Northwest Territories
chercheur principal: Ostertag, Sonja K
Année(s) de permis: 2024 2023 2022
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5831. The short-term objectives of this study are to: i) administer a health communication and risk perception survey tailored for the ISR – the Inuvialuit Food Messages Survey; ii) capture Inuvialuit values and perspectives of the country food system through interviews and photos for research and community use; iii) deter...


Using computer models to understand what influences mercury levels in the Beaufort Sea Shelf food web
chercheur principal: Giang, Amanda
Année(s) de permis: 2024 2023
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5518. The objectives of this project are to develop and apply a computer model of mercury bioaccumulation in the Beaufort Sea Shelf food web; to estimate the effects of selected environmental changes on historical Beaufort Sea beluga MeHg concentrations from (1970-2010s); and, to investigate potential future trajectories of...


Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway Metal Chemistry
chercheur principal: Gammon, Paul R
Année(s) de permis: 2023 2022 2021
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5551. The overall objective of the research is to eventually determine the environmental chemistry of the elevated metal concentrations, which will in turn determine the environmental risk that these measured concentrations pose (i.e. will answer, at least in part, the questions: do these sites require remediation, and in w...


Potential Impacts of Climate Change on the levels of Poly- and Perfluoroalkyls in Country Foods and Implications for Human Health Risk
chercheur principal: Wallace, Elizabeth
Année(s) de permis: 2022
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5313. The objectives of this study are to estimate potential future Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) concentrations in marine country foods under two climate change scenarios, and to determine dietary exposure estimates and hazard indices based on potential future concentrations and dietary intake data. The longer-term obje...


Sources, transport, and fate of microplastics in the Mackenzie River, Northwest Territories
chercheur principal: Bourdages, Madelaine
Année(s) de permis: 2022
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5225. The first objective of this project is to quantify microplastic concentration and composition in water, sediment, and air in the Mackenzie River delta. The second objective is to examine if microplastic concentrations are greater near communities. The third objective is to identify if microplastics are being transport...


Country Foods for Good Health: Developing a country food database for the Inuvialuit Settlement Region
chercheur principal: Ostertag, Sonja K
Année(s) de permis: 2020
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4532. The short-term objectives of this study are to: 1) determine the current concentrations of contaminants and nutrients in Inuvialuit country foods; and 2) develop a health communication and risk perception survey tailored for the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) – the ISR Health Messages Survey. In the long-term, ...


Northern Contaminents Program Passive Air Sampling Network
chercheur principal: Hung, Hayley
Année(s) de permis: 2020
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4494. The goal of the passive sampling network is to expand the number of sampling locations to get a more comprehensive understanding of the level of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and mercury entering the region, where the pollutants are coming from and how they are changing over time. To provide spatially-distribut...


ITH Metal Chemistry
chercheur principal: Gammon, Paul R
Année(s) de permis: 2019
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4544. The objectives of this research are: 1) To investigate the environmental chemistry of the borrow pits and immediate surrounding areas to determine what, if any, environmental risk do the elevated concentrations represent; 2) To investigate the environmental chemistry of an undisturbed area around the Inuvik to Tukto...


Community-Based Water Quality Monitoring in the Northwest Territories
chercheur principal: Beveridge, Meghan
Année(s) de permis: 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013
Résumé: The purpose of the project is to work in collaboration with Northwest Territories (NWT) communities to collect water quality data to answer community concerns and questions about the health of NWT waters, to enhance understanding of cumulative impacts and to contribute to decision making. There are three associated objectives: 1) collect water quality data at locations throughout the NWT, to ...
