GMOB: Remediation Strategies for the Long-term Management of Arsenic-trioxide-bearing Roaster Wastes at the Giant Mine, Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Blowes, David W.
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5779. The overall goals of the four projects proposed within Phase 1 are to: 1. Provide an enhanced understanding of the physical and geochemical properties of the roaster waste 2. Screen for potentially viable remediation alternatives that may warrant additional research (e.g., long-term laboratory experiments, pilot-s...


NASA Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) Airborne Flights 2023
Principal Investigator: Miller, Charles E
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5601. From 2017 – 2022, ABoVE airborne teams collected data across a wide variety of ecosystems in both the US and Canada. Depending on available funds, the team may re-fly one of the sensors to collect hyperspectral data at several locations in 2023. For 2023, the NASA Dynamic Aviation King Air B-200 aircraft with a h...


Capitalizing on long-term experimental manipulations to understand and predict arctic terrestrial ecosystem responses to climate warming
Principal Investigator: Grogan, Paul
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5660. The objectives of this research project are: 1) To determine the biogeochemical and ecological significance of the discovery that mesic tundra plant growth can be co-limited by nitrogen and phosphorus. 2) To predict the likely impacts of not just climate change, but also declining caribou and other mammalian herbivor...


Monitoring cumulative effects to water quality: An NWT Pilot Study - expanded to include aquatic invertebrates
Principal Investigator: Chin, Krista
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...


Future of Tundra-Atmosphere Climate Interactions
Principal Investigator: Lafleur, Peter M
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2021 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5115. The overall goal of this project is to increase our knowledge of how tundra environments interact with the atmosphere and predict how changing tundra vegetation will affect future climates. Tundra ecosystems exchange energy, water and carbon gases with the atmosphere, which are important elements of the climate system...


Studying the 1.9 billion year old rocks of the Pethei Group
Principal Investigator: Mehra, Akshay Karankumar
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5571. For much of Earth’s history, microbes have been the only forms of life on our planet. As a result of this dominance, the sedimentary rock record is full of physical and chemical evidence of microbial activity. Stromatolites, which are laminated buildups constructed, or aided, by microbes, are one kind of microbial ...


Characterization of precious metal-bearing base metal mineralization at the Homer Lake prospect, Yellowknife greenstone belt, Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Knox, Bernadette
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5565. The purpose of this project is designed to understand the environment in which the volcanic rocks were formed. The styles of mineralization will be looked at to understand if they formed at the same time as the volcanoes or much later. This work will be done by analyzing rock chemistry, and looking at very thin piec...


South central Slave craton critical minerals bedrock mapping
Principal Investigator: Knox, Bernadette
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5525. The objective of this work is to update and increase the understanding of the geological history of this area of the north-central Slave craton, Northwest Territories. This work will be conducted mostly on foot with access along the water provided by canoe and zodiac boat. The research team will be walking the lan...


NWT Streams and Rivers of the future: How permafrost thaw and groundwater activation are changing water resources (CIMP226)
Principal Investigator: Wright, Stephanie
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5522. The purpose of this study has four objectives: 1) Assess the spatial and temporal patterns of hydrologic change (groundwater and surface water) in the La Martre River and Trout River catchments (O1); 2) Identify the drivers, processes, and feedbacks responsible for the hydrologic changes identified in O1 and how they ...


Impact of wildfire and forest management on permafrost and post-fire regeneration
Principal Investigator: Baltzer, Jennifer L
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5543. This projects two main objectives are to monitor the recovery of NWT forests following wildfire to better understand post-fire changes on forest composition and ground vegetation and to develop baseline information about proposed forest management areas to support assessment of harvesting impacts on these areas. T...
