Characterization of recent permafrost landslides and ground ice distribution in the central Mackenzie Valley, NWT
Principal Investigator: Froese, Duane G
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5935. This work builds on studies over the last several years, including field work in the Mackenzie River valley in 2018 and 2019. The objective of 2021 fieldwork is twofold: 1) characterizing a large suite of retrogressive thaw slumps and thaw-induced landslides in the Redstone, Keele, and Johnson River basins that have ...


Mapping, monitoring and modelling permafrost change in the NWT
Principal Investigator: Kokelj, Steve V
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5855. 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 ass...


Permafrost monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT
Principal Investigator: Smith, Sharon S
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5776. This project continues the on-going monitoring program of the same title (Licence # 17182) Permafrost monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT). This phase of the project is largely data collection. Objectives are: • To provide baseline knowledge of permafrost ...


Community Mapping of Permafrost and Ground Hazards for Community Planning near Fort Good Hope Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Campbell, Jeffrey
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5771. The objective of this work is to conduct ground truthing and install instrumentation to support and inform interpretations of permafrost conditions made via analysis of remote sensed data as well as contribute data to help answer questions of interest to the community. This work is informed by analysis of remote s...


Long-term ecological and geomorphological investigations in the alpine tundra of the Mackenzie Mountains, NWT
Principal Investigator: Mamet, Steven D
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5659. The objectives of this research project are to determine: 1) the status of permafrost landforms; 2) the circumstances surrounding long-term recovery after abandonment of the CANOL No. 1 project, including oil spills and gravel pits; 3) the status of treeline. Sampling and testing will consist of: 1) permafrost: th...


Influence of Permafrost Continuity on Groundwater Flow and Carbon Fate and Transport
Principal Investigator: Rudolph, David
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5617. Within the Central Mackenzie Valley of the Northwest Territories (NWT), discontinuity and rapid change within the regional permafrost is anticipated to be influencing landscape, hydrology, habitat and ecosystem characteristics along with presenting challenges for the stability of constructed infrastructure. Mapping t...
