Characterizing recent wildfires in the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Ruppel, Meri
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5869. The main objective of this study is to reveal patterns of northern wildfires. Vertical profiles of burned peat (and other organic matter) layers will be investigated, which produce pioneering results on the vertical pattern of peat fires, and critical information on the burn depth and age of burnt peat (modern vs. fo...


Monitoring forest structure and treeline change drivers (5263)
Principal Investigator: Kruse, Stefan
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5947. The aim is to monitor vegetation changes in current climate warming for simulating past and future dynamics with an individual-based spatially explicit model (LAVESI). Therefore, our intentions are: 1. assessing stand inventories at diverse bioclimatic and environmental settings by a space-for-time approach 2. gat...


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. 5940. The proposal for this latest phase of the research is 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 climate. ...


Changing beaver distribution and occupancy in north-west Canada
Principal Investigator: Wheeler, Helen
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5923. Objectives: 1, To monitor beaver occurrence changes 2, To assess past beaver occupancy patterns using shrub ring analysis. 3, To understand how permanent and transient beaver populations impact their environment 4. To understand the associations between beaver populations and other wildlife species. Methodolog...


Understanding the cumulative impacts of beaver activity on stream health in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region
Principal Investigator: Musetta-Lambert, Jordan
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5936. The broad research question is: How will beaver activity in the tundra impact aquatic ecosystem health? This will be answered by addressing the following specific objectives and questions: Generate an understanding of beaver activity impacts on aquatic food webs in tundra streams. Question 1: How does beaver activit...


Geological Mapping of Mackenzie Delta and Richardson Mountains
Principal Investigator: Adepoju, Yaqub Olabanji
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5860. The objectives of the project and its importance are to close the knowledge gap created by age of the last field study and proprietary nature of other geological studies in the Mackenzie Delta. 1. At each field station, the team of researchers will record field observation of the physical properties of rock format...


NWT-wide Community based Water Quality Monitoring
Principal Investigator: Ross, Guylaine Danielle
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5740. To address community concerns about aquatic ecosystem health and water quality. Community members were trained to use the following equipment: • YSI sondes: sit in the water and measure basic water quality parameters every 2 hours for up to 3 months. Analysis undertaken at ECC. • Grab water samples: measure bas...


Resampling of Microalgal Communities and soil lipids in Lakes Across a 1400 km Transect from Yukon to Northwest Territories: Analysis of Changes Since 1993
Principal Investigator: Alibert, Marie
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5619. The objective of this study is to examine how climate change has impacted lake ecosystems and soils whether the changes follow a similar direction as those observed in Nunavik. Based on the results from Quebec, there should be a northward shift of different types of microalgal communities because of vegetation evolut...


Multi-methodological three-dimensional investigation of open- and closed-system Pingos in northwestern Canada (Pingo3D)
Principal Investigator: Kneisel, Christof
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5921. This project aims to investigate the three-dimensional internal structure of pingos in the Mackenzie Delta Region. The focus is on small-scale heterogeneities and a detailed delineation of ice-rich or unfrozen areas within, underneath and in close proximity to different pingos. High-resolution, 3D information gathere...


Mechanical and thermal design of embankments built on permafrost
Principal Investigator: Bilodeau, Jean-Pascal
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5914. The main objective is to develop a practical method for the mechanical and thermal design of embankments built on permafrost based on the properties of the active layer and of the permafrost, as well as the loading conditions. An existing thin section of the highway embankment built on permafrost has been instrume...
