Nutrient and contaminant status in the wetlands of the Slave River Delta
Principal Investigator: Doig, Lorne
Licensed Year(s): 2021
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...


2005 Traditional Knowledge Study
Principal Investigator: McCullum, John
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: The purpose of this study is for the communities most affected by the mining operation of Diavik Diamond Mines Inc. (DDMI) to be able to collect and apply traditional knowledge to assess southern caribou migration, water quality and the quality of Lac de Gras fish before, during, and after mining operations. A Helicopter, float planes, and boats will be used to transport equipment and individ...


Morphological Diversity of Lake Trout: Differentiation Between Deep and Shallow Forms
Principal Investigator: Eshenroder, Randy
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: The objective of this study is to determine whether a deep-water type of lake trout resembling the “humper” of Lake Superior lives on offshore reefs in Great Slave Lake, as they do in Lake Superior. The researchers have also found humper-like trout in Great Bear Lake and in Lake Mistassini, Quebec. In Great Slave Lake, the researchers intend to target offshore reefs surrounded by deep water (deepe...


Spatial and long-term trends in persistent organic contaminants and metals in lake trout and burbot in Great Slave Lake/Temporal trends and spatial variations in persistent organic pollutants and metals in sea run char from the Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: This study is looking at the contaminant levels in lake trout and burbot in Great Slave Lake and in arctic char after their return from feeding in the ocean. Twenty burbot and twenty lake trout will be collected from the West Basin of Great Slave Lake by...


Molecular analysis of evolutionary change in stickleback populations
Principal Investigator: Kingsley, David M.
Licensed Year(s): 2010 2008 2007 2005 2004 2002 2001 2000
Summary: The research goal is to determine whether the same genes control similar skeletal change in different populations and species. Stickleback fish are ideal subjects for this study because different freshwater populations show morphological differences in s...


Persistent organic contaminants in the Great Slave Lake ecosystem.
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....
