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...


Tourism Development during a Climate Crisis: A Case study of Tuktoyaktuk, NT and the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2020
Résumé: 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...


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...


What Good Consultation with Indigenous Peoples Means: Inuvialuit Research Regarding Climate Change, the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline and the Inuvialuit Land Claim Agreement
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2019
Résumé: The methods used will be a mixed method approach consisting of literature review, interviews and focus groups. I will also incorporate Indigenous methodology, based on literature written by Indigenous scholars. At this point, it is unclear what that approach will be, though there is the general understanding that everything is related, and effects others in the interconnectedness of the cycle of...


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....


BEARWATCH: Monitoring Impacts of Arctic Climate Change using Polar Bears, Genomics and Traditional Ecological Knowledge.
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2019 2018
Résumé: This research will integrate and map polar bear knowledge systems and translate findings into a community-based monitoring protocol that will track polar bear population responses to environmental change. Research questions include: i1) Are polar bear science data, existing Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), and historical records from the fur trade, explorer’s personal accounts and governmen...


Implications of Environmental Securitization on Sustainable Development of the Beaufort Sea Coastline
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2018
Résumé: This research project will attempt to determine if one of the Canadian federal government’s primary policy approaches to exert its authority over its Arctic territories and territorial waters has been to ‘securitize’ environmental issues that it perceives as vulnerabilities or risks to the state. Ultimately, the purpose of this research project is to determine the degree at which environmental sec...
