Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5173.
The overall objective of the proposed study is to continue to study the physical limnology of Christie Bay in the East Arm of Great Slave Lake, NWT, Canada to develop a new scientific understanding of this unique area and to support studies of the sustainability of fish populations.
All lake measurements will be ma...

20102009 Summary:
The goal of the 2011 Surface Water Hydrology & Climate program at Thor Lake is to collect additional data that describes the existing surface water and climate conditions at the Thor Lake Property. This information is required for continued baseline monitoring, environmental assessments and water management plans for the area. Data obtained will help determine a quantitative description of the ann...

20092008 Summary:
The objectives of this project are to characterize the baseline water and sediment quality within the Thor Lake area, and to characterize the baseline aquatic community through the collection of phytoplankton, zooplankton and benthic invertebrates.
Water, sediment and aquatic organisms will be collected from 20 stations within the Thor Lake area. Most stations will be accessed by ATV and/or bo...

2005 Summary:
This project aims to reconstruct the glacial history of Great Slave Lake, focusing on deep troughs located in the northeast arm of the lake. A large ice dome formed over the Great Slave region during the Last Glacial Maximum and meltwater possibly formed a large subglacial lake in the deep sector of Christie Bay during this period, when ice was about 4 km thick. Subglacial lakes are important beca...

This research program focuses on high-resolution reconstruction of past hydrology, ecology and climate of the Peace-Athabasca (PAD) and Slave River deltas (SRD) from natural archives, including lake sediments and tree rings, supported by comprehensive field-based studies of modern hydrology, limnology and aquatic ecology. The PAD and SRD have broad ecological and cultural significance and are ecos...

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...
