Principal Investigator: Drygeese, Cody RJ
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4994. The goal of this project is to document existing environmental conditions surrounding the Project area. Studies may include the following. Hydrology studies include the measurement of selected lake inflow and outflow and stream profile through field surveys, and installation of data loggers to continually monitor l...

Principal Investigator: Langhorne, Amy
Licensed Year(s): 2011
Summary: The objective of the plant and soil sampling is to determine baseline metal and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentration in surficial soils and plants growing in the study area. The data will be used in the human health and terrestrial wildlife risk assessment. The proposed study will include the collection of up to 30 co-located soil, plant, and insect samples at six terrestrial locations...

Summary: The objective of this project is to understand why arsenic trioxide (As3+) is still present in soils around Giant Mine, how long it will remain there, and if the set of circumstances leading to persistent As3+-rich soil may apply to any other places previously assumed to be As3+-free. In terms of current mine remediation, future human contact with the site, and ecosystem health, it needs to be und...

Principal Investigator: Lennie-Misgeld, Peter
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008
Summary: Soil samples will be taken from representative sites in order to complete soil reclamation suitability assessment. Surficial sediments and soils will be described at each pit. In addition, notes will be taken on vegetation, drainage and terrain features, etc. A permafrost survey will consist of drilling shallow holes (<3 m) to determine permafrost conditions. Shallow permafrost drilling will be...

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...

Principal Investigator: Chen, Wenjun
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004
Summary: The research team is working to become familiar with the impact of human disturbances on vegetation in northern Canada for their carbon studies. The objective of this study is to collect vegetation and biophysical data for use as verification of ground cover type and disturbance for use in satellite imagery classification and biomass and soil sampling for carbon modeling along the Ingraham Trail....

Principal Investigator: Turchenek, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: The overall project objective is to collect information on the Gahcho KuÚ and 'control lake' areas for use in impact assessment and environmental protection planning for a proposed mine development. AMEC Earth and Environmental (AMEC) has been retained t...

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: KERR, DAN
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: Conduct mapping of surficial deposits based on airphoto interpretation and fieldwork. Dig small holes to obtain soil samples. Samples will be analyzed to determine their chemical composition....

Principal Investigator: Veldhuis, Hugo
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: To investigate, map and sample soils to produce maps and reports on the soils....
