Effects of snowpack temporal and physical properties affect wintertime carbon fluxes in Arctic landscapes
Principal Investigator: Rutter, Nick
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5822. The objectives of this project are: (1) To develop, deploy, and refine low-cost sensors to measure green house gas (GHG) concentrations. (2) To identify GHG concentration patterns within snowpacks at a landscape scale (1 to 10 square km). (3) To optimise winter carbon cycling in climate models, and scale up simula...


Electric Vehicle and Smart Heating Opportunities in Yukon and NWT
Principal Investigator: Collier, Joe
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5529. The objective is to identify these technical obstacles within specific neighborhoods that anticipate high rates of EV and smart heating unit adoption. We will model these neighborhoods in high detail and present our stakeholders with a suite of possible solutions to any encountered challenges. The Yukon portion of ...


High-Precision atmospheric Carbon Dioxide and Methane measurements at Behchoko, NWT.
Principal Investigator: Worthy, Douglas
Licensed Year(s): 2011 2010
Summary: Environment Canada’s (EC) Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) Measurement Program conducts high quality ground-based atmospheric measurements of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) and other GHGs from coastal, interior and Arctic regions in Canada. The goal is to provide high quality data to put observational constraints on large-scale sources and sinks, and improve understanding of the carbon cycle. The l...


Exchange of carbon gas fluxes over low arctic tundra
Principal Investigator: Lafleur, Peter M
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2007 2005 2004
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...


Climate Change Impacts on Canadian Arctic Tundra Ecosystems: Interdisciplinary and Multi-scale Assessments
Principal Investigator: Coxson, Darwyn S
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007
Summary: The objective of this research is to study how northern soils in close proximity (geospatially linked soils) cycle nitrogen and carbon and produce greenhouse gases. Describing these links will allow forecasting on how the soils respond to climate change. Three transects with 31 sampling locations will be set up. At each location a Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) probe and thermocouple will be i...


Public Attitudes and Awareness of Climate Change in the NWT
Principal Investigator: Little, Lois M.
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The project is being conducted by Lutra Associates Ltd. for the Arctic Energy Alliance. To provide a proper context for taking action on greenhouse gas emissions, the AEA wishes to ascertain information on the knowledge and attitudes amount youth in grades 5-12 about global warming and climate change. The Arctic Energy Alliance's survey of youth is designed to answer questions on climate change is...
