Summary: The objectives of this four day field survey is to inspect the 4 hydrology stations and 1 meteorology station to ensure they are in working order, repair if required, and download site-specific weather and stream flow data from the stations. Equipment at each hydrostation consists of a datalogger (to record) and a pressure transducer (to detect fluid pressure and produce a signal related to the...

Summary: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application No. 1121. The objectives this research to document the time history of flow in Matthews Creek and site-specific weather data for the Matthews Lake Gold Project. This will be done in three site visits. During the first site visit, researchers will to reinstall creek monitoring instruments, and inspect and download the exist...

Summary: The objectives of the single site visit in 2007 are as follows: (1) to re-install instruments at the 4 existing hydrostations, so that data will be recorded automatically during the summer season; Tyhee personnel will remove the instruments (a datalogger and pressure transducer for each station location) at the end of the season, before freezeup; (2) download data from the existing weather station...

Summary: The objectives of the hydrological program are to collect and store creek-discharge data in conjunction with creek-stage elevations in order to increase the accuracy of the stage-discharge relationship and prepare a time history of flow. The objectives of the meteorological program are to install instrumentation to collect site-specific meteorological data and to begin a site monitoring program. ...

Summary: The objective of the research is to determine the water cycle processes in lakes and streams affecting Baker Creek and similar streams, and more generally to understand how small scale processes influence those of larger areas. Field studies at Baker Creek, a typical Canadian Shield stream that drains ~130 km2 into Great Slave Lake, will focus on the spring melt and summer seasons. Existing i...

Summary: Lower Carp Lake is part of the Yellowknife River and is roughly 22km in size. A number of remote meteorological and hydrometric data collection sites will be constructed around the lake. An island on the lake will be used as a base camp for the research activities. This island is roughly circular rising up to 50m from the lakeshore. A portion of the island is dominated by sandy glacial deposits. M...
