Studies of the environmental effects of disturbances in the subarctic (SEEDS)
Principal Investigator: Kershaw, G. Peter
Licensed Year(s): 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1990
Summary: The research will continue to monitor the effects of disturbance to a site 10 km north of Fort Norman. Trees were cleared and the soil was trenched in 1985 and 1986, and crude oil was spilled in 1988. The researchers are monitoring air and soil temperatures, wind speed, moisture, water movement, permafrost and snow characteristics, plants and animals in order to understand how the ecosystem resp...

Licence #1893
Principal Investigator: MacKay, D.
Licensed Year(s): 1975
Summary: To determine how spilled oil behaves and interacts wit the northern environment; how far and how quickly spilled oil will spread on land and in water. To ascertain how low temperatures and snow affect its spread; how deeply oil penetrates into the vegetation, litter or peat and mineral soil layers and what proportion will be lost to evaporation. To provide an indication of the area which would b...
