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.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...

200420032002 Summary:
Summer 2005 field activities will focus on continuing multi-year studies of the modern hydrology and ecology of the Slave River Delta. The aim of this research is to improve knowledge of changes in lake water balance and chemistry and the subsequent responses of aquatic plants over seasonal and inter-annual time-scales under varying climatic and hydrological conditions. Overall, this information...

Summary:
The researcher will collect samples of sediment and water from small lakes along Highways 5 and 6 between Fort Smith and Hay River. She will be identifying different species of diatoms (small organisms that live in the water) and conducting a number of chemical analyses on the water. Additional data will be collected on the timing of the most recent fire as well as the area's geology and plant c...
