Monitoring forest structure and treeline change drivers
Principal Investigator: Kruse, Stefan
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5263. The aim is to monitor vegetation changes in current climate warming for simulating past and future dynamics with an individual-based spatially explicit model. Therefore, the intentions are: 1) assessing stand inventories at diverse bioclimatic and environmental settings by a space-for-time approach; 2) gathering remot...


Effects of permafrost thaw on soil processes and soil-plant interactions
Principal Investigator: Richter, Andreas
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5246. The main goal of the project is to understand which mechanisms are controlling soil nutrient cycling and soil-plant interactions across both permafrost thaw gradients and vegetation types. The research team are mainly interested in nutrient cycling processes and priming, as well as how microbial community composition ...


Beaufort Sea Coastal Restoration – Exploring the Potential for Using Indigenous Plant Species to Revegetate Coastline Affected by Permafrost Thaw Slumping
Principal Investigator: Hille, Erika C
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2021 2020 2019 2018
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5057. The objectives include: 1) Creating a series of maps showing the thaw slump activity along the Beaufort Sea Coast near Tuktoyaktuk; 2) Developing detailed water, vegetation, and ground temperature maps of the study sites using drones; 3) Examining the effects of thaw slumping on the water quality of landscape-level r...


A Re-evaluation of Disturbance Research in the Tundra near Tuktoyaktuk
Principal Investigator: Wein, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1989 1988 1987
Summary: The research will document long-term recovery rates on permanent research plots that were established on a range of tundra disturbances. In the 1970's disturbance surveys and experiments on a wide range of topics provided short-term results and predictions on recovery rates. This project will collect comparable data to validate these short term predictions and will also help to develop some ideas ...


Licence #2121
Principal Investigator: Hutchinson, Tom
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To determine the degree of recovery of crude oil spills made in 1972 and 1973 on taiga at Norman Wells and tundra at Tuktoyaktuk. To determine the effects of a 1975 diesel oil spill on taiga at Norman Wells and to compare the effects with crude oil spills made in comparable terrain. To examine the pattern of vegetational recovery of these areas. To examine the effects of crude oil spills made o...


Licence #2120
Principal Investigator: Hutchinson, Tom
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To develop a practical and economic method of revegetation of "difficult" tailings and mine sites in the N.W.T., using acid and metal tolerant vegetation growing naturally at the highly stressed Smoking Hills area of Cape Bathurst, N.W.T....
