Sources and fate of microplastics in Great Slave Lake
chercheur principal: Bourdages, Madelaine
Année(s) de permis: 2022 2021
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5004. The first objective of this project is to quantify microplastic concentration and composition in water, sediment, zooplankton, and air around Great Slave Lake. The second objective of this project is to examine if microplastic concentrations are greater near communities than the open water of Great Slave Lake. The thi...


Impacts of climate change on wildfire risk in boreal forests in the Northwest Territories
chercheur principal: Asselin, Hugo
Année(s) de permis: 2019 2018
Résumé: The three main objectives of this research are: 1) to reconstruct the multi-century history of wildfire and vegetation in the Northwest Territories by analyzing charcoal contained in lake sediments; 2) to establish the links between recent fire activity and climatic data by studying tree growth rings (annual resolution); and, 3) to combine this scientific knowledge to indigenous knowledge obtained...


Using the past to inform the future: A paleoecological perspective of the impacts of drought and fire on lakes, permafrost and forests
chercheur principal: Pisaric, Michael FJ
Année(s) de permis: 2019 2018 2017 2016
Résumé: The objectives of this research are to examine the frequency and severity of past wildfire and drought (drought-like) conditions in the southern Northwest Territories. Specifically, the research team will examine the following questions: 1) how frequent and severe have fires been in the past; 2) are fires becoming more frequent/severe due to the impacts of climate change; 3) what impact does wildf...


Massive Ice Study in Granular Deposits
chercheur principal: Pollard, Wayne H
Année(s) de permis: 2006 2005 2004 2003
Résumé: This study is an investigation of massive ice in granular deposits in the Mackenzie Delta area and northeastern North Slave region. In March, the team will travel by truck on existing winter roads or by helicopter from Inuvik to sites in the Mackenzie De...


Quaternary Geology of the Winter Lake Map Area
chercheur principal: Kerr, Daniel E.
Année(s) de permis: 1993
Résumé: The researcher will be conducting geological field work in the region defined by the NTS Winter Lake Map (No. 86A). The work will involve surveying the land features and collecting samples of the rock and sediments in order that this information can be summarized on a geological map....


Quaternary geology of the Lac de Gras and Aylmer Lake areas
chercheur principal: Ward, Brent
Année(s) de permis: 1993
Résumé: The researcher will survey by helicopter and on foot the areas of Lac de Gras and Aylmer Lake in order to investigate the distribution and nature of surface rocks and sediments. This data will be used to create geological maps of the areas as well as to check the accuracy of a preliminary map that was made based on air photo data. As well, samples of rock will be taken for chemical analyses in a...


Influence of the Slave River on Great Slave Lake
chercheur principal: Evans, Marlene S.
Année(s) de permis: 1992
Résumé: The Researchers will collect a series of sediment and water samples. These will be analyzed for plant nutrients, concentration of microscopic plant cells, bacteria, suspended solids, dissolved oxygen and organic contaminants. Microscopic animals will also be netted. They will determine the abundance and composition of the animals and conduct experiments to measure their feeding rates and fat cont...
