Using computer models to understand what influences mercury levels in the Beaufort Sea Shelf food web
Principal Investigator: Giang, Amanda
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5813. The objectives of this study are to: 1) develop a computer model of mercury bioaccumulation in the Beaufort Sea Shelf food web; and then to apply that model to 2) estimate the effects of selected environmental changes on historical Beaufort Sea beluga MeHg concentrations from (1970-2010s); and 3) investigate potentia...

Principal Investigator: Skinner, Kelly
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5837. The proposed 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 research questions related to food security and climate change across o...


Effects of snowpack temporal and physical properties affect wintertime carbon fluxes in Arctic landscapes
Principal Investigator: Rutter, Nick
Licensed Year(s): 2024
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...


Studies of greenhouse gas release and associated environmental processes with thawing permafrost in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region
Principal Investigator: Morse, Peter D
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5797. The goals of this multi-year-long project are to assess greenhouse gas (methane and carbon dioxide) release from warming permafrost and tundra lakes in the ISR and to study associated carbon dynamics and microbiological processes, including the release of mercury to the environment. The first year of field activit...

An Evaluation of Contribution Agreements Used to Fund Indigenous-Led Stewardship Initiatives
Principal Investigator: Lightbourn, Ryleigh
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5817. Through interviews, this research seeks to evaluate contribution agreements used to fund Indigenous-led stewardship initiatives (for example, Indigenous Guardians, Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas, and Indigenous Community-Based Climate Monitoring) in order to inform future conversations on the re-storying of...


Mapping for Ground Ice along the ITH
Principal Investigator: Alvarez, Alejandro
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5791. The objectives of this study are to (1) evaluate the geologic setting including geochemistry, and dating of sediments to establish a regional history of the area.
