Impacts of climate change on wildfire risk in boreal forests in the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Asselin, Hugo
Licensed Year(s): 2019 2018
Summary: The three main objectives of this research are: 1) to reconstruct the multi-century history of wildfire and vegetation in the Northwest Territories by analyzing charcoal contained in lake sediments; 2) to establish the links between recent fire activity and climatic data by studying tree growth rings (annual resolution); and, 3) to combine this scientific knowledge to indigenous knowledge obtained...

Long term and current variability in sources and sinks of carbon and nitrogen in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems underlain by discontinuous and continuous permafrost
Principal Investigator: English, Michael C
Licensed Year(s): 2014
Summary: The objectives of this research project are: 1. to extract sediment cores from three different regions of the Northwest Territories namely: the low arctic tundra (continuous permafrost-Daring Lake), Taiga Shield northern boreal (widespread discontinuous permafrost-Wekweeti), and Taiga Shield boreal (sporadic discontinuous permafrost-Baker Creek Watershed) which provide the research team with a re...
