A Mass-Energy Analysis of Permafrost and Vegetation Change Across a Mackenzie Mountain Treeline Ecotone: 1944 to 2017
Principal Investigator: Kershaw, Geoffrey GL
Licensed Year(s): 2020 2019 2018 2017
Summary: The goal of this thesis is to characterize the hydrology of an alpine valley's landscape Types (LTs) and how they affect storage and runoff responses to precipitation through the following four research objectives: 1) a physical description of LTs composing an alpine study catchment that are expected to exhibit distinct hydrological responses to precipitation inputs; 2) a physical description of w...

Active Layer Monitoring Network in the Mackenzie Valley
Principal Investigator: Nixon, Frederick M
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The active layer is the earth overlying permafrost that thaws from the surface and re-freezes each year, and it responds to climate change. Active layer thickness influences vegetation and soil conditions, potentially influencing hunting, forestry, etc. and it’s, thickness, texture and moisture content affects foundations. Changes in the active layer and thaw depth can contribute to slope instabil...

Vegetation Response to Global Warming in the Mackenzie River Basin: Interations Between Northern Boreal Forests, Wetlands and Regional Hydrology
Principal Investigator: Nicholson, Barbara
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The Researcher will map the present distribution of boreal and subarctic wetlands in the Mackenzie River Basin. Wetland vegetation and water chemistry will be described for areas immediately surrounding permanent weather stations. The ecological relationships between climate, wetland water chemistry and wetland species distribution will be analyzed. A predictive indicator model will be built to pr...
