North Slave Permafrost Study: Characterization and Predicting Discontinuous Permafrost for Climate Change Adaptation
Principal Investigator: Wolfe, Stephen A
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5404. This activity describes and predicts the occurrence of discontinuous permafrost in the northern Great Slave Lake region to assist in planning, development and maintenance of community and industry infrastructure. Changes in climate are affecting permafrost distribution, temperatures and geotechnical conditions. Differ...


TTOP Modelling in Whati NT for Present and Future Climates
Principal Investigator: Bonnaventure , Philip P.
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4945. The goal of this project is to build on previous permafrost work by creating a Temperature at Top of Permafrost (TTOP) model and map for the community of Whatì. This model will allow the research team to calculate how permafrost may change with increasing air temperatures. The data will assist the community of Whatì o...


Boreal Forest Carbon Balance Studies
Principal Investigator: Layden, Ronald E.
Licensed Year(s): 2017
Summary: The objective of this project is to increase the understanding of taiga carbon balance of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and predict into the future the impacts of climate warming on these systems. The exchange of carbon gases between the taiga and atmosphere is a significant component of the carbon balance and is dependent upon vegetation cover. The description below for the tundra site at...


The effect of Great Slave Lake on air and surface temperatures in peatlands near Yellowknife
Principal Investigator: Karunaratne, Kumari C
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004 2003
Summary: The objective of this project is to determine the effect of Great Slave Lake on air and surface temperatures, and permafrost conditions. Each of the study sites along the Ingram Trail that were instrumented with air and surface temperature sensors during summer 2003 will be revisited in 2005. The data loggers will be downloaded, relaunched and the batteries will be replaced at each instrumentati...
