The impact of permafrost thaw on Taiga Shield and Taiga Plains lakes
Principal Investigator: Palmer, Mike
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5974. The specific research objectives are: 1) to implement a geologically-based classification scheme to group permafrost lake types for the range of biophysical environments encountered across the NWT; and 2) to determine whether these lake types can be distinguished by their physical and water chemistry characteristics....

North Slave Permafrost Study: Characterization and Predicting Discontinuous Permafrost for Climate Change Adaptation
Principal Investigator: Wolfe, Stephen A
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5775. This activity describes and predicts the occurrence of discontinuous permafrost in the northern Great Slave Lake region to assist in planning, development and maintenance of community and industry infrastructure. Changes in climate are affecting permafrost distribution, temperatures and geotechnical conditions. Diffe...

Measuring and simulating permafrost thaw
Principal Investigator: Gruber, Stephan
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5425. The objectives of this project are to understand: 1) how permafrost differs in temperature and chemical/physical characteristics from place to place; 2) how these different types of permafrost react to change (climate/disturbance); and, 3) which future changes in permafrost are likely and which are less likely based o...

Seasonality of streamwater and icing chemistry in the Yellowknife, NT area
Principal Investigator: Tank, Suzanne E
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5138. The objectives of this study are to determine the influence of permafrost thaw on the mobilization of carbon to stream ecosystems, and its subsequent effects on in-stream microbial communities and carbon cycling. The research team will measure stream water chemistry and collect water samples for microbial analysis at ...

Impacts of recent climate warming on Canada’s northern aquatic ecosystems
Principal Investigator: Blais, Jules M
Licensed Year(s): 2014
Summary: The objectives of this research project are: 1) to determine the impact of shoreline expansion and forest/peat submergence from thawing permafrost on contaminant and carbon fluxes to lakes in the Yellowknife region; 2) to develop novel approaches to track terrestrial organic matter sources in lakes, in order to assess how climate warming and permafrost thaw are affecting the delivery of terrestr...
