Summary: The objective of the proposed studies is to continue to describe the existing environment, and obtain information once Project activities commence to determine potential project effects. The proposed studies will include the collection of air quality, hydrology, geochemistry, vegetation, soil, water and sediment quality, and fish and aquatic resources data and wildlife occurrence. These study ...

Principal Investigator: English, Michael C
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: This licence is issued for the scientific research application # 876. The objective of this research is to determine the impacts of predicted soil warming scenarios for the arctic on the availability of phosphate, nitrate-nitrogen and ammonium, which are important soil nutrients. The field portion of this research will consist of two weeks of collecting soil data and gauging and sampling (f...
