Summary: The goal of the 2011 Surface Water Hydrology & Climate program at Thor Lake is to collect additional data that describes the existing surface water and climate conditions at the Thor Lake Property. This information is required for continued baseline monitoring, environmental assessments and water management plans for the area. Data obtained will help determine a quantitative description of the ann...

Summary: The objective of this study is to study how important greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide and methane, are exchanged between tundra surfaces and the atmosphere. These exchanges will be measured over various tundra types and relate them to environmental variables such as soil properties and weather, in hopes of understanding more about how future climate change will impact the land surface and how th...

Summary: Regional estimates of snow water equivalent (SWE) are useful for climate studies, calculating how much water is stored in the snowpack, and weather forecasting. These data are available from manual surface measurements, but there not very many measureme...

Principal Investigator: Weagle, Ken V
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004
Summary: The purpose of this fieldwork is to continue the collection of baseline data to support an anticipated application to the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board. There are four main components in the 2005 program: 1) Air quality, climate and noise asses...

Principal Investigator: Rouse, Wayne R
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The field work associated with the proposed study will consist of the collection of climate data, such as air temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, amount of rain fall, water temperatures and light penetration into the lake. Similar equipment will be used to collect this data at all sites. Air temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, water temperatures and light penetration...

Principal Investigator: Bryant, Wayne
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1995
Summary: The researchers will be involved in a mult-disciplined, integrated and focused series of investigation regarding water quality, hydrology and climatology, fisheries, aquatic, wildlife, vegetation, soils and terrain, and heritage resources. Taken with complementary socio-economic, traditional knowledge and environmental management investigations, this data will be used to prepare an environmental ...

Principal Investigator: Smol, John P
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researchers will collect water samples from lakes and ponds to assess the present water quality. Lake and pond mud samples will also be taken to identify algal indications of lake quality....

Principal Investigator: Jacoby, Gordon C.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1989
Summary: The object of this research is to reconstruct past climate in order to understand how the climate system works, and what past natural variations may be expected based upon this information. This project is to sample old-aged trees and to assemble enough coverage to reconstruct regional and Hemispheric temperatures for the most recent centuries....

Principal Investigator: Rowe, J.S.
Licensed Year(s): 1975
Summary: To analyze and correlate fire and climatic records in the upper Mackenzie Basin, N.W.T. To determine the pattern of change after fire and to determine the frequency with which fires recur, for Arctic Land Use Research Program....
