Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5930.
This project proposes to evaluate responses of aquatic ecosystems to permafrost thaw, lake drying, and wildfire, as well as their cumulative impacts. Lake chemistry and biological diversity (microbes and invertebrates) in water (current environmental change) and in sediments (historical change) will be characterized,...

Summary:
The objective is to measure the age and stock of organic carbon derived from wildfires (fire-derived carbon) in the Mackenzie River region, and examine long- and short-term processes controlling the size and distribution of fire-derived carbon stocks in soils.
The research team will measure fire-derived carbon stocks in soils and determine its age (radiocarbon dating) at four different location...
