2023 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5820.
The proposed project will evaluate the temporal and spatial distribution of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE) in the water and sediment of Great Slave Lake and surrounding communities, landfills, drinking water, and industries to identify the source of PBDEs.
The concentration and distribution of PBDEs will b...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5035.
The objective of this field program is to collect additional data including soil, surface water, groundwater, sediment and benthic invertebrate samples to analyze for potential contaminants. This information will help develop a human health and ecological risk assessment, and a remedial action plan to reclaim the site...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4988.
The objectives of this project are to determine: 1) From the outer Slave River Delta (SRD) (river-water dominated) to the apex of the SRD (runoff dominated), what the current status of nutrients and contaminants in SRD wetland ecosystems are; 2) How trace elements (e.g., mercury) move through SRD wetland food webs; an...

Summary:
Currently, there is no information about the bioavailability and toxicity of metals in the Slave River delta. The goal of this research is to examine metal cycling pathways in the delta and to assess the role of aquatic vegetation for metal accumulation...
Principal Investigator:Evans, Marlene S. Licensed Year(s):
1995
1994 Summary:
The researchers will collect samples of sediments from the bottom of Great Slave Lake at sites near Fort Resolution and Lutsel K'e. This data will allow a better understanding of how fast sediments are deposited on the lake bottom in various regions. Researchers will also collect invertebrates and fish samples as part of an overall study of contaminants in the lake's ecosystem....

Summary:
The Researchers will collect a series of sediment and water samples. These will be analyzed for plant nutrients, concentration of microscopic plant cells, bacteria, suspended solids, dissolved oxygen and organic contaminants. Microscopic animals will also be netted. They will determine the abundance and composition of the animals and conduct experiments to measure their feeding rates and fat cont...
