Using the past to inform the future: A paleoecological perspective of the impacts of drought and fire on lakes, permafrost and forests
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2019 2018 2017 2016
Résumé: The objectives of this research are to examine the frequency and severity of past wildfire and drought (drought-like) conditions in the southern Northwest Territories. Specifically, the research team will examine the following questions: 1) how frequent and severe have fires been in the past; 2) are fires becoming more frequent/severe due to the impacts of climate change; 3) what impact does wildf...


Spatial and long-term trends in persistent organic contaminants and metals in fish from the Northwest Territories

Résumé: The objectives of this project are to: 1) continue to investigate trends in mercury, metals and persistent organic contaminants (POCs) in lake trout harvested from two locations (West Basin near Hay River, East Arm at Lutsel K’e) and burbot harvested from one location (West Basin at Fort Resolution) in Great Slave Lake in 2017 to further extend the long-term (1993-2015: POCs, 1993-2016 mercury a...


Understanding Changes in the Freshwater Ecosystems and Drinking Water in Northern Canada
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2017
Résumé: The Objectives of this research are to: 1) determine where the participating communities obtain their drinking water from within their home and while on the land and why; and determine the areas of each region that are considered valuable and important areas of water quality; and 2) determine what the concerns are concerning the sources of water, both within the homes and natural water sources, ...


Impacts of forest fire on discontinuous permafrost in the south-western Northwest Territories
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2018 2017 2016
Résumé: The goal of this project is to look at how permafrost is changing following forest fire over a range of environmental conditions, with the purpose of improving how change is modeled in the future. The fires of 2014 in the southwestern Northwest Territories (NWT) provide an opportunity to examine how discontinuous permafrost responds to disturbances. This work is being carried out in collaboration ...


Cassette Islands Project

Année(s) de permis: 2015
Résumé: The short term objectives of this project are to: 1) Document and present and historical data on the local environment and wildlife; 2) Assess the impacts of climate change on our community's health and food security; 3) Support intergenerational knowledge sharing between elders and youth on the land; 4) Engage our community in the research; 5) Build traditional knowledge capacity in our com...


Community-Based Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Workshops
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2006 2005
Résumé: This project will consist of community workshops on selected climate change issues. A specific impact will be identified as a theme for a 1-2 day workshop in up to 5 regions across the NWT, and strategies to deal with those impacts will be mapped out. Objectives are to bring traditional knowledge holders and scientists together to share observations and predictions, discuss what likely impacts wi...


Flood History and Climate Change in the Slave River Delta: A Traditional Knowledge Study
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2005 2004
Résumé: The Slave River Delta is one of a series of important delta ecosystems in the Mackenzie Basin. The adjacent community of Fort Resolution depends on its high biological productivity and diversity for both food and resources. Because of climate change, th...


Carbon Dynamics in Chronosequence of Boreal Forest Ecosystems: a Production Ecological Approach
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2017 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001
Résumé: Northern forests are closely connected to the issue of global warming because they are likely to absorb much of the carbon dioxide that is emitted into the air by humans. The amount that these forests absorb, however, is not clear. The research team will...
