Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5419. This project continues the on-going monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT. This phase of the project is largely data collection. Objectives are to provide baseline knowledge of permafrost and terrain conditions (specifically ground temperature and active la...

Principal Investigator: Wallace, Elizabeth
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5313. The objectives of this study are to estimate potential future Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) concentrations in marine country foods under two climate change scenarios, and to determine dietary exposure estimates and hazard indices based on potential future concentrations and dietary intake data. The longer-term obje...

Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2019 2018 2017
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5277. The objectives of this research are: 1) Use remote sensing (Landsat, QuickBird, InSAR, Airphotos, UAVs, etc.) to document regional landscape change (tundra fire, infrastructure, saline flooding, slumps, subsidence, vegetation change, lake drainage / expansion, etc.); and 2) Use field sampling and monitoring to determi...

Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5214. The objective is to continue monitoring change in ground temperatures, seasonal thaw depth (active layer), subsidence of the ground, change in vegetation, and thawing of ice wedges. The research team compare these data with the results of computer forecasts of how things may change with climate warming. The team hope ...

Principal Investigator: Merzouk, Anissa
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4997. The aim of the research programs supported by the Amundsen in 2021 is to study on a long-term basis how climate induced changes are impacting the marine ecosystem, carbon cycle, contaminant transport, biogeochemical fluxes, and exchange processes across the ocean-sea ice-atmosphere interface in the Canadian Arctic Oce...

Principal Investigator: Olefeldt, David
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2019 2018
Summary: 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...

Principal Investigator: Skinner, Kelly
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4936. This research aims to learn from and enhance community capacity to address priorities and inform both climate change and food security action and support-structures at local, regional, and territorial scales. This research will examine questions related to food security and climate change across the four cross-cut...

Principal Investigator: Alvarez, Alejandro
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2020
Summary: 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...

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...

Principal Investigator: Bagnall, Desiree
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4598. The purpose of this case study is to bridge the knowledge gap between western ways of knowing and Inuvialuit ways of knowing of climate change, mitigation, vulnerability, adaptation, and resiliency and how this correlates with community tourism development as a strategy for economic diversification. The research quest...
