"The effects of a changed climate and environment on the nutrition and health of Dene First Nations"
Principal Investigator: Duran, Nelida
Licensed Year(s): 2011 2010
Summary: The purpose of this research project is to describe the effects of climate change and variability on human nutrition and related health outcomes of Dene First Nations. Research Design: A constructivist approach to the grounded theory methodology will be utilized in this study. Grounded theory methodology involves the use of systematic yet flexible guidelines for collecting and analyzing qualit...


Climate Change Impacts on Canadian Arctic Tundra Ecosystems – North Slave Métis Community Traditional Knowledge Study
Principal Investigator: Grieve, Sheryl
Licensed Year(s): 2010 2009 2008 2007
Summary: This project is part of a larger IPY study, Climate Change Impacts on Canadian Arctic Tundra Ecosystems (CiCAT), looking at the effect of climate change on arctic tundra ecosystems. For this project, Metis traditional knowledge on vegetation and terrain changes in the North Slave region will be collected. The goal of this study is to connect and meld scientific studies with knowledge from people ...


Diamonds and Oil from the Tundra:A System Study on the Impact of Changing Seasons on Mining and Oil Exploration
Principal Investigator: Sturm, Matthew
Licensed Year(s): 2010
Summary: Research goal is to understand how changes in the seasons, particularly the shortening of winter, might impact the economics of the North. In Canada the researcher will focus on the impact of ice road seasons on diamond mining. Research activities will mainly be to observe how environmental data are collected in the field, how they are utilized by regulatory agencies to make decisions, and how bu...


Conceptual and Mechanistic Models for the Development and Survival of the Trichostrongylid, Ostertagia gruehneri, in Barrenground Caribou, With Respect to Northern Climate Change
Principal Investigator: Hoar, Bryanne M
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008 2007
Summary: The objective of this study in 2009 is to determine if parasites (Ostertagia gruehneri) can survive on the tundra over winter. This is the third year of a three year study. This work is to study the parasite Ostertagia gruehneri. This is the most common stomach worm in barrenground caribou. Adult worms live in the stomach of caribou and eggs are shed in the feces of the caribou. Once in the env...


Climate Change in the Central Northwest Territories - A Paleolimnological Analysis
Principal Investigator: Galloway, Jennifer
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: This licence is issued for the scientific research application #932. The goal of this multi-disciplinary paleolimnological study will be employed to describe and further understand regional climate conditions, fire history, and ice cover duration spanning the past ~2000 years in the central Northwest Territories. The targeted study area is the southern portion of the Tibbitt to Contwoyto Winte...


Nutrient Availability in Arctic Tundra Soils
Principal Investigator: English, Michael C
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: This licence is issued for the scientific research application # 876. The objective of this research is to determine the impacts of predicted soil warming scenarios for the arctic on the availability of phosphate, nitrate-nitrogen and ammonium, which are important soil nutrients. The field portion of this research will consist of two weeks of collecting soil data and gauging and sampling (f...


Climate Change Impacts on Canadian Arctic Tundra Ecosystems: Interdisciplinary and Multi-scale Assessments
Principal Investigator: Coxson, Darwyn S
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007
Summary: The objective of this research is to study how northern soils in close proximity (geospatially linked soils) cycle nitrogen and carbon and produce greenhouse gases. Describing these links will allow forecasting on how the soils respond to climate change. Three transects with 31 sampling locations will be set up. At each location a Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) probe and thermocouple will be i...


Impacts of Climate Change on the Availablilty of Gravel in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, NWT
Principal Investigator: Borsy, Emily Jane E
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007
Summary: The objective of this research is to obtain primary information about the gravel situation in the ISR from a variety of industry perspectives. The researchers wish to fill in a gap in information linking supply and demand to community stress and vulnerability, obtaining this information through interviews with industry professionals. The research will be conducted in two stages. The first sta...


Surveillance and Management of Climate Change Impacts in the North: Implications for Northern Public Health Policy: The Inuvialuit Case Study
Principal Investigator: Furgal, Christopher
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2005
Summary: The objectives of this project are: 1. Assess the present and future adequacy of surveillance tools to support northern managers’ ability to identify and monitor acute and chronic diseases, exposures, and other health determinants related to climate change and economic development impacts. 2. Assess the applicability and use among northern managers of current risk management frameworks (RMF), wh...


Community-Based Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Workshops
Principal Investigator: Ritchie, Douglas G.
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005
Summary: This project consists of conducting a series of workshops with community governments and residents on the topic of climate change, current and future impacts of climate change on municipal services, as well as possible measures that can be implemented to help communities adapt to climate change. The goal of the workshop is to document concerns, identify areas for further research, and determine po...
