Impact of climate change on catchment biogeochemistry in plains and shield regions
Principal Investigator: Olefeldt, David
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2019 2018
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4734. The objective of this research is to identify impacts of climate change and permafrost thaw on pond methane emissions, and on water chemistry in streams that drain peatland-rich catchments. Impacts on methane emissions will be assessed. Specific objectives are: 1) to characterize the trends and variability in magn...

Using the past to inform the future: A paleoecological perspective of the impacts of drought and fire on lakes, permafrost and forests
Principal Investigator: Pisaric, Michael FJ
Licensed Year(s): 2019 2018 2017 2016
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4564. The objectives of this research are to examine the frequency and severity of past wildfire and drought (drought-like) conditions in the southern Northwest Territories. Specifically, the research team will examine the following questions: 1) how frequent and severe have fires been in the; 2) are fires becoming more fre...

The effects of wildfire on diverse aquatic ecosystems of the NWT
Principal Investigator: Tank, Suzanne E
Licensed Year(s): 2017 2016
Summary: The objective of this study is to determine the effect of fire on water quality within the southern NWT landscape. The research team will work across the Taiga Plains and Taiga Shield ecoregions. Differences in landscape between these regions will affect the catchment response to fire. The team will also target catchments with variable permafrost extent, and wetland/lake coverage. The research ...

DOC in surface waters in the NWT; implications of a changing climate
Principal Investigator: English, Michael C
Licensed Year(s): 2015
Summary: This research focusses upon dissolved organic carbon (DOC) quantity and quality from a suite of hydrological environments underlain by discontinuous permafrost. The research looks to better understand how water quality will be influenced by a warming climate, with specific attention to DOC, by analysing historical water quality data (30 years) from three local rivers (Yellowknife, Cameron, and Mar...
