Principal Investigator: Cunada, Christopher
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5339. The objectives of this project are to collect additional samples for fish health and fish contaminant levels, and to track their status over time to assess ecosystem health and provide an indication of change or stress in the environment. The research team will be sampling the same species of fish that were investi...

Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5021. The objectives of this project are to establish a baseline for benthic invertebrates’ community structure and composition in the transboundary reaches of the Slave and Hay Rivers, and to track their status and conditions over time to assess ecosystem health and provide an early warning of change or stress in the envir...

Summary: The research team will consist of forest ecologists. We plan to study a few jack pine stands by taking stem samples for examination of forest growth that occurred in the past. A possible effect of climate change on the growth of forests are being examined. Several trees were cut and were analyzed last year. This summer several additional stems will be sampled. When a tree is cut, we try not to dis...
