Wetland status, change, and seasonal inundation dynamics for assessing the vulnerability of waterfowl habitat within the ABoVE study domain
Principal Investigator: French, Nancy H
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5205. The main project goal is to characterize changes in waterfowl habitat using remote sensing approaches developed during prior NASA ABoVE research campaigns. The first objective is to create wetland type and surface inundation products (maps) for the ABoVE boreal region. The second objective is to assess the efficacy of...


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...


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...


Akaitcho - DUC Wetland Mapping Project
Principal Investigator: Richard, Alain
Licensed Year(s): 2017
Summary: The main objective of this project is to develop wetland inventory for south eastern Northwest Territories (NWT) that will be used to provide a baseline for many kinds of planning (including land use planning processes) and research in support of biodiversity conservation and sustainable management of habitat. Specific objectives are to: 1) develop and use computer-based methods to produce we...


Development of a monitoring program for the Whooping Crane breeding environment
Principal Investigator: Tonn, William
Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: This project will develop a long term monitoring strategy to access the seasonal productivity of wetlands in the breeding area. Preliminary sampling in 2004 will familiarize the incoming graduate student with the breeding pond region and allow various sa...


Licence #2264
Principal Investigator: Gill, Don
Licensed Year(s): 1978
