Monitoring of mercury, flame retardants and other chemicals in lake trout and cisco from Great Bear Lake
Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2016 2015 2014 2013
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6014. This study is designed to find out whether contaminant levels are changing in fish (lake trout and cisco) in Great Bear Lake. Of particular interest is mercury. It complements ongoing fish population studies being conducted by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans on Great Bear Lake and contributes to Deline's resea...


Long-term ecological and geomorphological investigations in the alpine tundra of the Mackenzie Mountains, NWT
Principal Investigator: Mamet, Steven D
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5659. The objectives of this research project are to determine: 1) the status of permafrost landforms; 2) the circumstances surrounding long-term recovery after abandonment of the CANOL No. 1 project, including oil spills and gravel pits; 3) the status of treeline. Sampling and testing will consist of: 1) permafrost: th...


Spatial and long-term trends in persistent organic contaminants and metals in fish from the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2017 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5669. This research study is continuing to investigate whether contaminant (mercury, other metals, persistent organic contaminants) levels are changing in fish in the Northwest Territories with a focus on Great Slave Lake, which the research team has been studying since the early 1990s. The team plans to arrange collection...


Contaminants (PAHs, mercury) in the Mackenzie River and fish health assessments: implementation of classic and new molecular screening tools for environmental monitoring and stressor assessment
Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5333. This study will determine the concentrations of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in small-bodied fish in the Norman Wells/Imperial area near nature oil seeps and industrial activities with comparisons to be made with upstream (Tulita area) and downstream (Fort Good Hope) areas. The research team will also asses...


EL 494 Surface Water Monitoring Program
Principal Investigator: Kelly, Holly
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4568. The study will document natural variations in the surface water conditions within the Exploration License (EL 494) area and monitor potential impact of oil and gas exploration activities. Surface Water Quality Sample Collection: Surface water samples will be collected from selected sampling locations targeted near...


Contaminant Biomonitoring in the Northwest Territories Mackenzie Valley: Investigating the Links Between Contaminant Exposure, Nutritional Status, and Country Food Use
Principal Investigator: Laird, Brian D
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2016
Summary: The overall objective of this research is to promote country foods in the Dehcho Region in a way that balances contaminant risks and nutrient benefits in order to maximize nutrient status while minimizing mercury exposure. The research team will work towards this objective through the implementation of research that will consist of the biomonitoring study to evaluate country food usage patterns, c...


Community-Based Water Quality Monitoring in the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Beveridge, Meghan
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013
Summary: 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 ...

Norman Wells Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program - plume delineation study
Principal Investigator: Fraikin, Chris
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004
Summary: A field dye tracer study will be conducted to examine the mixing and dispersion characteristics of discharges from Imperial Oil, Norman Wells, to the Mackenzie River. This will be accomplished by injecting dye at the water release point under normal discharge conditions and measuring dye concentration at several river transects downstream of the discharge. The concentration profile at these tran...


Investigation of factors affecting high mercury levels in fish in lakes in the Mackenzie River Basin (2002-2003)
Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2003 1998
Summary: This study is based on earlier research conducted by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans which found that fish in many lakes in the Mackenzie River Basin had high mercury concentrations. This study examines the environment in which the fish live in o...
