Impact of climate change on catchment biogeochemistry in plains and shield regions
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2021 2019 2018
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4734. The objective of this research is to identify impacts of climate change and permafrost thaw on pond methane emissions, and on water chemistry in streams that drain peatland-rich catchments. Impacts on methane emissions will be assessed. Specific objectives are: 1) to characterize the trends and variability in magn...


Characterization of permafrost cores from the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Corridor, NWT, Canada
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2021 2020
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4980. The objectives of this study are to: 1) evaluate the geologic setting including geochemistry, and radiocarbon ages to establish a regional history of the area; 2) investigate the geologic setting of multiple buried ice bodies; and 3) develop a geologic map along the southern Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH) highlig...


Permafrost in the western Arctic
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016
Résumé: 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...


Mechanical and thermal design of embankments built on permafrost
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2020 2019
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4629. The main objective is to develop a practical method for the mechanical and thermal design of embankments built on permafrost based on the properties of the active layer and of the permafrost as well as the loading conditions. The development of decision-making tools to select the optimal course and the optimal embankm...


Self-stabilization of thaw slumps
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2019
Résumé: The research team are studying the natural stabilization of thaw slumps in the aim to eventually develop adapted management strategies for infrastructure at risk. The specific objectives are to assess the variations of thaw slump stabilization across landscapes, regions, and climates; and to assess the positive and negative feedback effects controlling the natural stabilization of thaw slumps....


Beaufort Sea Coastal Geoscience Research
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012
Résumé: The primary objective of this research continues to be driven towards the safe and sustainable industrial and community development of the Beaufort Sea coastal nearshore region. The research provides the means to improve knowledge of physical conditions in the coastal zone in order to help government agencies, corporations, and local residents understand, mitigate and reduce the impacts of natural...

chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006
Résumé: This project combines the ongoing monitoring program of the same title (Permafrost monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT) and the activities previously undertaken by the project title, “Active Layer Monitoring Network in the Mackenzie Valley”. The objectives of this study are to provide baseline knowledge of permafrost and terrain condit...


Coastal Geoscience Research in the Beaufort Sea and Mackenzie Delta
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2011
Résumé: The western Arctic coast is a rapidly changing coastline and one of the most sensitive to climate change in the world. The research objective is to improve our knowledge of physical conditions in the coastal zone in order to help government agencies, corporations, and local residents understand, mitigate and reduce the impacts of natural changes and industrial or community development. The proj...
