NASA Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) Airborne Initiative 2022
Principal Investigator: Miller, Charles E
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5304. The extended ABoVE Study Area includes most of northwestern North America west of Hudson Bay and north and east of the coastal mountain ranges. It encompasses the variability in the key types of ecosystems that are both unique to arctic and boreal regions in North America as well as being representative of the larger ...


Transitioning of permafrost to wetland and implications for biomass gains and losses
Principal Investigator: Chasmer, Laura E
Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4527. The objectives are to: 1) Compare the distribution of tree and shrub biomass within accessible areas in the Taiga Shield and Taiga Plains landscapes using lidar remote sensing, and by developing tree and shrub vegetation biomass models from field data; 2) Characterize and compare non fire-disturbed patterns of veget...


Impacts of forest fire on discontinuous permafrost in the south-western Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Lewkowicz, Antoni G
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017 2016
Summary: 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 ...


2008-2010 Baseline Studies for Avalon Ventures Ltd. Proposed Thor Lake Rare Earth Metals Project - Soils, Terrain and Permafrost Component
Principal Investigator: Lennie-Misgeld, Peter
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008
Summary: Soil samples will be taken from representative sites in order to complete soil reclamation suitability assessment. Surficial sediments and soils will be described at each pit. In addition, notes will be taken on vegetation, drainage and terrain features, etc. A permafrost survey will consist of drilling shallow holes (<3 m) to determine permafrost conditions. Shallow permafrost drilling will be...


Quaternary Geology, South Shore of Great Slave Lake
Principal Investigator: Lemmen, Donald
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researchers will collect small samples of surficial materials for sedimentological, geochemical and paleoecological analysis. They will map, describe and explain the unconsolidated deposits, landforms, permafrost and organic cover and study patterns of glacial dispersal and drift geochemistry....
