2023 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5841.
The overall objective of this project is to determine the impact of changing land-ocean matter fluxes and coastal subsea permafrost on nearshore ecosystems and biodiversity in the Beaufort Sea. To reveal the trajectory of coastal habitats, it is critical to
(1) determine how fluvial and coastal fluxes from the land...

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...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5193.
The research team will investigate the possibility of linking field-measured characteristics of tundra landscapes (e.g. active layer thickness, soil moisture, plant distribution and ecosystem composition, etc.) with remotely-sensed data. The overall objective of the project is to identify the connection that exist bet...
