Principal Investigator: Hare, Karl
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6016. Our objective is to answer two primary research questions: Research Question 1: How can traditional ecological knowledge inform species distribution modeling to predict the occurrence of productive patches? Research Question 2: How might climate change impact the accessibility of northern berries throughout the...

Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5949. The NASA Dynamic Aviation King Air B-200 aircraft with a hyperspectral (AVIRIS-III) instrument will re-fly lines in the ABoVE study area. The flight teams will be based out of the Yellowknife airfield. The aircraft flies at an altitude between 5 – 15 km. We hope to fly the AVIRIS-III instrument between July 1 – Augus...

Principal Investigator: Hille, Erika C
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5596. The objectives of this study are to conduct spatially detailed surveys of water quality and stream discharge along the Miner River, in order to examine how water quality responds to organic-rich peatland tributary streams and retrogressive thaw slumping; and, to examine the seasonal water quality of Caribou Creek and...

Principal Investigator: Ruppel, Meri
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5869. The main objective of this study is to reveal patterns of northern wildfires. Vertical profiles of burned peat (and other organic matter) layers will be investigated, which produce pioneering results on the vertical pattern of peat fires, and critical information on the burn depth and age of burnt peat (modern vs. fo...

Principal Investigator: Kruse, Stefan
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5947. The aim is to monitor vegetation changes in current climate warming for simulating past and future dynamics with an individual-based spatially explicit model (LAVESI). Therefore, our intentions are: 1. assessing stand inventories at diverse bioclimatic and environmental settings by a space-for-time approach 2. gat...

Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5860. The objectives of the project and its importance are to close the knowledge gap created by age of the last field study and proprietary nature of other geological studies in the Mackenzie Delta. 1. At each field station, the team of researchers will record field observation of the physical properties of rock format...

Principal Investigator: Ross, Guylaine Danielle
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5740. To address community concerns about aquatic ecosystem health and water quality. Community members were trained to use the following equipment: • YSI sondes: sit in the water and measure basic water quality parameters every 2 hours for up to 3 months. Analysis undertaken at ECC. • Grab water samples: measure bas...
