Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5647. The main objective of this research project is to further inform the story of how cumulative effects impact lake systems in the Yamba River basin. The research team intends to accomplish this by collecting benthic macroinvertebrates in 70 lakes in the Yamba River basin to compliment water quality data that were colle...

Summary: The overarching objectives of this research are two-fold: 1)To investigate watershed and within-lake abiotic processes affecting the recovery of mine-impacted lakes in the Yellowknife area, including storage and release of arsenic from soils, seasonal dynamics of arsenic export in runoff, and fluxes of arsenic to and from lake sediments; and 2) To investigate the toxicological consequences of ...

Summary: The objectives of this research are to evaluate the relative sensitivity of northern aquatic invertebrates and northern ecosystems in comparison to southern species and environments. The focus of comparisons is in relation to the toxicity of rare earth elements. Three types of sample collections are proposed. These would be done at the Avalon Rare Metals Inc. Thor Lake site as well as along t...

Summary: The objective of this program is to determine the environmental and physical conditions at nine sites on Gordon Lake and potentially six Gordon Lake south sites. This will include the identification and quantification of environmental impacts in soil, sediment, surface water and groundwater, and the identification of any hazardous or non-hazardous materials. In addition, samples of biota (includin...

Summary: This work will assess the effects that mining may have on the aquatic environment of lakes within the Ekati claimblock as part of BHP Billiton's Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program. Data to be collected includes water quality, sediment quality, physical l...

Principal Investigator: Steinecke, Karin
Licensed Year(s): 1998 1997
Summary: The project will focus on understanding, analyzing and evaluating the reactions of the northern boreal forest ecosystems in the Great Slave Lake region due to man made stress of mining, settlement and connecting activities. The project will try to develop some general conclusions, statements and model systems. The research team (2 persons) will come from Europe to Yellowknife by plane. The base wi...

Principal Investigator: Boileau, Marc G.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987 1986
Summary: To investigate the ecology and population genetics of crustacean zooplankton; to study the genetic diversity of the major species of copepods and their dispersal since deglaciation; to clarify the taxonomy and improve distribution records....
