Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5610. The purpose of this project is to map and analyze changes in vegetation productivity and phenology across the range of the Bathurst caribou herd. The project is rooted in two basic objectives: 1) Map changes in vegetation productivity on an annual basis across the herd’s range using satellite imagery obtained from NA...

Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5608. Objectives: To investigate the relative invasibility of different regrowth stand types post-fire; and, To complete river surveys of invasive plants downstream of Hay River and Fort Liard. Burns: To assess the invasibility of different regrowth stand types, samples will be taken along transects running perpend...

Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5272. The proposed research aims to measure the extent of non-native plant spread into natural areas in the NWT, assess the impact of this spread to native plant and soil communities, and assess the risk of invasion from plants in neighbouring jurisdictions. Sampling plots at increasing distances from the roadside or ri...

Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017
Summary: The goals of this project are to study the diversity and distribution of the genus Hebeloma and other fungi from the Hymenogastraceae family; to explore the ecology of this ectomycorrhizal family which are important for forest health and a range of local ecosystem services; and, to assemble a more complete phylogeny of the family that will in turn further understanding of the evolution and develop...

Summary: The overall research goal is to determine appropriate methods to restore disturbed sites at Diavik Diamond Mine to productive and sustainable tundra communities following mine closure. There are three main research areas 1) building suitable reclamation substrates for plant establishment and growth, 2) methods of collection and propagation of locally common native plant and lichen species, and 3) ...

Licensed Year(s): 2016
Summary: Objectives of this research project are to: 1) analyze Landsat satellite images to understand regional vegetation change over the past 30 years; 2) determine the timing of tree establishment as well as the climate influence on tree growth across the forest tundra transition zone over the past 300 years; and, 3. measure spruce seedling growth across the forest-tundra ecotone in relation to varia...

Principal Investigator: Chen, Wenjun
Licensed Year(s): 2014 2013
Summary: The goals of this research project are: 1. To fill the information gap on Bathurst caribou summer range conditions using satellite remote sensing data and community-based ground vegetation monitoring 2. To develop a cumulative impact assessment method that makes cumulative impact assessment possible even if data are incomplete and provides timely feedback for guiding the refinement of monitoring...

Summary: The objective of this study is to describe the terrestrial and aquatic environment in the Yellowknife River between Prosperous Lake and Bluefish Lake as per the Fisheries Authorization and the Water Licence. This may include investigating vegetation, water quality, benthic invertebrate populations, and fish. The results will be used to determine the most suitable means of fish habitat compensation...

Summary: The objective of this research project is to collect baseline environmental information for future environmental effects monitoring. Surveys may include assessments of fish, fish habitat, benthic invertebrates, plankton, water and sediment quality, wetlands and geochemistry. Equipment for surveys will be limited to standard field measuring and surveying equipment, such as automated water qualit...
