NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Singer, Claire L
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5272. The proposed research aims to measure the extent of non-native plant spread into natural areas in the NWT, assess the impact of this spread to native plant and soil communities, and assess the risk of invasion from plants in neighbouring jurisdictions. Sampling plots at increasing distances from the roadside or ri...

Principal Investigator: Horobin, Ric
Licensed Year(s): 2021
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...

Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5051. This project will collect additional environmental and geotechnical samples to complete the remedial design. The former Stark Lake Uranium Exploration site has undergone multiple investigations over the years, and a data gap analysis has indicated that there is additional information required to complete the remedial ...

Principal Investigator: Nearing, Michelle
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5047. The objective of the study is to determine environmental conditions (in particular metal concentrations) and to compare existing conditions on and near the Rail Bed to background. The proposed field program will focus on collecting information that is considered critical for completing a human health and ecological ri...

Principal Investigator: Abiven, Samuel
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4956. The objective of this project are to measure the age and stock of organic carbon derived from wildfires (fire-derived carbon) in the Mackenzie River region and examine long- and short-term processes controlling the size and distribution of fire-derived carbon stocks in soils. The research team will measure fire-der...

Principal Investigator: Kanigan, Julian
Licensed Year(s): 2010 2009
Summary: The objective of this research is to investigate metals levels, particularly lead and zinc, and hydrocarbons in soils near the old CN rail bed to Pine Point mine, and Highway 5 to the Tamerlane R-190 advanced exploration site. Specific objectives are to 1) Determine levels of metals, particularly lead and zinc, and hydrocarbons on and adjacent to the old CN railbed; 2) Establish levels of metals, ...

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...

Principal Investigator: Robertson, Scott
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: The overall objective of this project is to collect additional Soil and Terrain information for use in the environmental assessment of the De Beers Canada Inc. proposed Gahcho Kué Project. De Beers Canada Inc. has been conducting Soils and Terrain baseline studies for a number of years in the area of the Gahcho Kué Project. The studies planned for this year will add to the Terrain and Soils ba...
