Prairie Creek
Principal Investigator: Reynolds, Merilie A
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5578. To investigate the geological processes that formed the Prairie Creek zinc-lead-silver(-germanium) deposit. The goal is to better understand the environment of the ancient ocean where the rocks originally formed, the mountain-building processes that later deformed those rocks, and the nature of metal-bearing fluids th...


Monitoring the impacts of permafrost thaw on water resources at Scotty Creek, NWT
Principal Investigator: Quinton, William L.
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5521. The long-term objective of this research programme is to improve the understanding, parameterisation and prediction of water flow and storage processes in peatland-dominated, thawing, discontinuous permafrost. Over the next 5 years, significant progress toward this long term objective will be made through the follo...


Lakes as sentinels of environmental change in discontinuous permafrost peatlands
Principal Investigator: Korosi, Jennifer B
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5468. The goal of this project is to understand and predict how lakes in discontinuous permafrost peatlands are changing in response to climate warming and loss of permafrost. The field activities for 2023 will focus on three regions/objectives: Inferring long-term environmental change in the Five Fish Lakes (Lue Túé ...


Murky waters: Impacts of disturbances on the mobilization and downstream delivery of mercury and methylmercury
Principal Investigator: Olefeldt, David
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5448. This project proposes to monitor wetlands, streams, rivers, and lakes in the Dehcho region, with a focus on understanding current and future trends in aquatic mercury and methylmercury. The region has vast stores of mercury accumulated in organic wetland soils, and there is a risk that disturbances such as permafrost ...


CoMet 2.0 Arctic
Principal Investigator: Fix, Andreas
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5211. This project will use aircraft-based instruments using both remote-sensing and in-situ-techniques to carry out measurements of methane and carbon trace gases and tracers related to their emissions. The results will help to better understand the global methane and carbon cycle. This mission makes use of the German r...


NASA Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) Airborne Initiative 2022
Principal Investigator: Miller, Charles E
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5304. The extended ABoVE Study Area includes most of northwestern North America west of Hudson Bay and north and east of the coastal mountain ranges. It encompasses the variability in the key types of ecosystems that are both unique to arctic and boreal regions in North America as well as being representative of the larger ...


NWT-wide Community based Water Quality Monitoring
Principal Investigator: Somers, Gila L
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4762. Water Quality Monitoring equipment is deployed at over 40 sites across the NWT to address community concerns. Community members were trained to use the following equipment: • Sondes: sit in the water and measure basic water quality parameters every 2 hours for up to 3 months. Analysis undertaken at Environment and...


Formation of the Vanadium Mineralizatoin at the Van Property NWT
Principal Investigator: Gregory, Daniel David
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5188. The research team will conduct geological mapping on the Van property. This will include stratigraphic rock sampling above and below the known vanadium rich mineralization and possible rock sampling in areas of the property of geological interest. Geologic mapping is conducted by visually inspecting surface exposur...


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 ...
