Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5160.
The research team will use airborne geophysics (helicopter-based surveys) flying the central Mackenzie Valley corridor along the existing winter road to map permafrost across different landforms and terrain types. The objectives of this study are to: 1) Fly multiple lines of airborne electromagnetic geophysical data ...

Summary:
This project seeks to identify and measure specific characteristics of plants to determine the current baseline conditions of the vegetation, collect grass samples to test for different species of fungi and integrate traditional knowledge of environmental systems with current biological sampling.
Transects (a long straight line) will be measured out from the edge of a road to about 1 km away fr...
