NWT Streams and Rivers of the future: How permafrost thaw and groundwater activation are changing water resources (CIMP226)
Principal Investigator: Wright, Stephanie
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5522. The purpose of this study has four objectives: 1) Assess the spatial and temporal patterns of hydrologic change (groundwater and surface water) in the La Martre River and Trout River catchments (O1); 2) Identify the drivers, processes, and feedbacks responsible for the hydrologic changes identified in O1 and how they ...


TTOP Modelling in Whati NT for Present and Future Climates
Principal Investigator: Bonnaventure , Philip P.
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4945. The goal of this project is to build on previous permafrost work by creating a Temperature at Top of Permafrost (TTOP) model and map for the community of Whatì. This model will allow the research team to calculate how permafrost may change with increasing air temperatures. The data will assist the community of Whatì o...


Whati Permafrost Vulnerability Mapping
Principal Investigator: Bonnaventure , Philip P.
Licensed Year(s): 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4631. The goal of this project is to create a permafrost hazard/vulnerability map of the community of Whati, NT. In addition to the general map, ideal location(s) for future graveyard and residential development will be identified. The three main deliverables outlined in conversations with representatives from Whati ar...


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...


Extensive Dendrochronological Reconstruction of Temperature in the Northern Hemisphere: North American Boreal Zone
Principal Investigator: Jacoby, Gordon C.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1989
Summary: The object of this research is to reconstruct past climate in order to understand how the climate system works, and what past natural variations may be expected based upon this information. This project is to sample old-aged trees and to assemble enough coverage to reconstruct regional and Hemispheric temperatures for the most recent centuries....
