NWT-wide Community based Water Quality Monitoring
Principal Investigator: Ross, Guylaine Danielle
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5740. To address community concerns about aquatic ecosystem health and water quality. Community members were trained to use the following equipment: • YSI sondes: sit in the water and measure basic water quality parameters every 2 hours for up to 3 months. Analysis undertaken at ECC. • Grab water samples: measure bas...


NSMA Community Based Monitoring of Environment surrounding Giant Mine in Yellowknife
Principal Investigator: Johnson, Noah
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5874. The objective of the study is to collect environmental data surrounding the Giant Mine to serve as a baseline, before remediation efforts, to move the treated water discharge to Yellowknife Bay. These activities are also to assure the community that the Giant Mine Remediation efforts are improving environmental quali...

Wildfires and contaminated landscapes: The impact of wildfire on the mobility, transport and fate of metal(loids) in a subarctic shield landscape
Principal Investigator: Devoie, Élise
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5898. The main goal of this project is to explore how wildfire will affect the stability and fate of metals and metalloids (i.e. arsenic, mercury, antimony) in mining contaminated and pristine landscapes. Metal(loid) concentrations in air, soil, and water in and around Boundary Creek (30 km west of Yellowknife) will be co...


Impacts of climate change and permafrost thaw on the Whatì community well: A groundwater vulnerability assessment
Principal Investigator: Wright, Stephanie
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5888. The goal of this project is to assess the vulnerability of the Whatì community’s drinking water supply well to the impacts of climate change (e.g., permafrost thaw, precipitation changes, contaminant mobilization). A groundwater observation well network will be established to help identify changes to groundwater quan...

Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5902. This project has two main objectives: 1) To monitor the recovery of NWT forests following wildfire to better understand post-fire changes on forest composition and ground vegetation 2) To develop baseline information about proposed forest management areas to support assessment of harvesting impacts on these areas...


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. 5782. The overall goal of this project is to increase 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. A...
