Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5594.
The main goal is to use remote sensing (Landsat, QuickBird, InSAR, Airphotos, and Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems (RPAS)) to document regional landscape change (tundra fire, infrastructure, saline flooding, slumps, subsidence, vegetation change, lake drainage / expansion, etc.). 2) Use field sampling and monitoring t...

2019 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4758.
The 3 year project objective is to conduct underwater eco-physiological monitoring in remote Inuvialuit coastal areas in both summer and winter seasons. This will result in critical benchmark data with emphasis on coastal forage fish species during rapid climate change. Another project off-shoot will be a self-suffici...

Summary:
Thaw slumps are one of the most dramatic thermokarst features in permafrost regions. The number of thaw slumps on Banks Island has more than tripled in recent decades and it is likely that this change is altering terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This multidisciplinary research project investigates the short- (1960s-present day) and long-term (Medieval Warm Period to today) impacts of permafrost...

Summary:
The goal is to produce permafrost disturbance susceptibility maps for the region surrounding Sachs Harbour identifying areas with low, moderate and high susceptibility to future permafrost disturbance.
A 25 km radius around Sachs Harbour will be systematically mapped to identify and map permafrost disturbances. GPS will be used to map the perimeter of identified permafrost disturbances. Soil s...
