Impacts of wildfire on runoff response and downstream water chemistry in a region with rapid permafrost loss
Principal Investigator: Olefeldt, David
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5892. Objective summary: To assess the effect of wildfires on changes in water quality in the Dehcho and South Slave region, which are affected by runoff from peatlands (containing e.g., organics, nutrients, and mercury/methylmercury), which are already experiencing increased permafrost thaw due to climate change. Synop...


Lakes as sentinels of environmental change in discontinuous permafrost peatlands
Principal Investigator: Korosi, Jennifer B
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5468. The goal of this project is to understand and predict how lakes in discontinuous permafrost peatlands are changing in response to climate warming and loss of permafrost. The field activities for 2023 will focus on three regions/objectives: Inferring long-term environmental change in the Five Fish Lakes (Lue Túé ...


Murky waters: Impacts of disturbances on the mobilization and downstream delivery of mercury and methylmercury
Principal Investigator: Olefeldt, David
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5448. This project proposes to monitor wetlands, streams, rivers, and lakes in the Dehcho region, with a focus on understanding current and future trends in aquatic mercury and methylmercury. The region has vast stores of mercury accumulated in organic wetland soils, and there is a risk that disturbances such as permafrost ...
