Principal Investigator: Kokelj, Steve V
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5473. The primary objectives of this research are: 1) to develop and test new methods of characterizing permafrost and monitoring permafrost landscape change with a focus on the Beaufort Delta, central Mackenzie Valley and North Slave regions; 2) mapping sensitive permafrost terrain across NWT by integrating expert assessme...


Drivers and constraints of ecological change in the western Arctic
Principal Investigator: Lantz, Trevor C.
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2019 2018 2017
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5277. The objectives of this research are: 1) Use remote sensing (Landsat, QuickBird, InSAR, Airphotos, UAVs, etc.) to document regional landscape change (tundra fire, infrastructure, saline flooding, slumps, subsidence, vegetation change, lake drainage / expansion, etc.); and 2) Use field sampling and monitoring to determi...

EarthScope Transportable Array
Principal Investigator: Busby, Robert W
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013
Summary: This project consists of a large deployment of ground motion sensors (294 total) throughout Alaska and western Canada; 44 located in Yukon Territory and 7 in the Northwest Territory. Each station senses the ground movement from distant earthquakes and sends data via satellite or radio modem to a central receiving point in San Diego. The purpose of collecting these data is to study deep geologic st...
