THAWPOND-NWT – Remote sensing analysis of vegetation and thaw pond colour dynamics in the continuous permafrost zone: from local to regional (Northwest Territories, Arctic Canada)
Principal Investigator: Vieira, Gonçalo
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5639. The goal of this research project is to better understand the characteristics of various different lakes, how their characteristics vary, as well as their potential relation to permafrost thaw events in the recent or distant past. The frequency of occurrence across space and time as well as the variability of: 1) opt...


Hydrothermal Regime of Riparian Terrain in Continuous Permafrost, Western Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Ensom, Timothy P
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5168. The specific objectives of the project are as follows: 1) Determine the spatial extent, distribution, and timing of winter icing events in streams along the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH) through ground-based and aerial reconnaissance of stream crossings; 2) Identify relations between physical watershed charact...


Beaufort Sea Coastal Restoration – Exploring the Potential for Using Indigenous Plant Species to Revegetate Coastline Affected by Permafrost Thaw Slumping
Principal Investigator: Hille, Erika C
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2021 2020 2019 2018
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5057. The objectives include: 1) Creating a series of maps showing the thaw slump activity along the Beaufort Sea Coast near Tuktoyaktuk; 2) Developing detailed water, vegetation, and ground temperature maps of the study sites using drones; 3) Examining the effects of thaw slumping on the water quality of landscape-level r...


Permafrost in the western Arctic
Principal Investigator: Kokelj, Steve V
Licensed Year(s): 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4663. The primary objectives of this research are: 1) to develop and test new methods of monitoring permafrost landscape change; 2) to investigate the impacts of natural and human disturbance on permafrost terrain and the ground temperature conditions in natural environments and in communities; and 3) to assess the physical...


Permafrost, river, and groundwater inputs of trace elements and nutrients to the Mackenzie River estuary
Principal Investigator: Charette, Matthew
Licensed Year(s): 2016
Summary: The objectives are to measure a suite of trace elements and isotopes (TEIs) in the active layer and permanently frozen layer of permafrost cores sampled near the Mackenzie River, and to compare these concentrations to those observed in submarine groundwater discharge and Mackenzie River discharge in order to determine whether permafrost-associated TEIs are being transported to the coastal Arctic. ...
