Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5337.
The objective is to answer key questions:
1. From the outer SRD (river-water dominated) to the apex of the SRD (runoff dominated), what is the current status of nutrients and contaminants in SRD wetland ecosystems?
2. How do trace elements (e.g., mercury) move through SRD wetland food webs?
3. How does water source...

Snow samples will be collected from approximately 30 sites across the NWT and Yukon in the spring of the year. This annual snow pack sample will allow an estimate of the quantity of organic contaminants that have been deposited over the winter season. To better understand the fate of these contaminants in the High Arctic, the researchers will undertake an intensive small basin study on Cornwallis ...
