Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5822.
The objectives of this project are:
(1) To develop, deploy, and refine low-cost sensors to measure green house gas (GHG) concentrations.
(2) To identify GHG concentration patterns within snowpacks at a landscape scale (1 to 10 square km).
(3) To optimise winter carbon cycling in climate models, and scale up simula...

20232022 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5809.
The objectives of this research project are to learn about:
1) how climate influences patterns of habitat use among Peary caribou, muskoxen and their predators, and
2) how changes in forage availability/accessibility (e.g. impacted by changing snow conditions, overgrazing by geese, etc.), competition with muskoxe...

This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5475.
The primary objective of this research is to determine the influence of snow manipulation on permafrost temperatures in different environments along the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH). A secondary objective is to better understand the relationship between snow cover and ground surface temperatures in both natural...

1992 Summary:
Previous research has indicated that compounds containing bromine could play a role in the destruction of the ozone layer. This study is part of on-going research that is examining how important northern marine waters are as sources of bromine to the Arctic atmosphere. Seawater, snow and ice will be collected and assessed for bromine. In addition, measurements will be taken to determine if seaw...

1992 Summary:
This on-going research involves the assessment of isotopes in snowpack each winter. Collection of snow and ice at various sites along winter roads in the N.W.T. provides information about the composition of isotopes within a region. Isotopic composition of snow and ice taken from ice cores in Greenland and Antarctica have been able to provide information about past climates....

Summary:
To determine how spilled oil behaves and interacts wit the northern environment; how far and how quickly spilled oil will spread on land and in water. To ascertain how low temperatures and snow affect its spread; how deeply oil penetrates into the vegetation, litter or peat and mineral soil layers and what proportion will be lost to evaporation. To provide an indication of the area which would b...
