Permafrost and ground hazard mapping between Norman Wells and Wrigley along the Mackenzie Valley winter road using airborne geophysics
Principal Investigator: Froese, Duane G
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5160. The research team will use airborne geophysics (helicopter-based surveys) flying the central Mackenzie Valley corridor along the existing winter road to map permafrost across different landforms and terrain types. The objectives of this study are to: 1) Fly multiple lines of airborne electromagnetic geophysical data ...


NASA Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) Airborne Flights 2023
Principal Investigator: Miller, Charles E
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5601. From 2017 – 2022, ABoVE airborne teams collected data across a wide variety of ecosystems in both the US and Canada. Depending on available funds, the team may re-fly one of the sensors to collect hyperspectral data at several locations in 2023. For 2023, the NASA Dynamic Aviation King Air B-200 aircraft with a h...


Prairie Creek
Principal Investigator: Reynolds, Merilie A
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5578. To investigate the geological processes that formed the Prairie Creek zinc-lead-silver(-germanium) deposit. The goal is to better understand the environment of the ancient ocean where the rocks originally formed, the mountain-building processes that later deformed those rocks, and the nature of metal-bearing fluids th...


The frontline of permafrost thaw: a transect of eddy covariance towers across the southern Taiga Plains to better understand changing regional carbon and water budgets
Principal Investigator: Sonnentag, Oliver
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021 2019 2018 2018 2017 2016 2015
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5535. Through this project my research group will address the following objectives: What is the net effect of permafrost thawing induced biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks to the climate system? How do these two types of feedback differ between the sporadic and discontinuous permafrost zones? Is the reported decrease ...


Murky waters: Impacts of disturbances on the mobilization and downstream delivery of mercury and methylmercury
Principal Investigator: Olefeldt, David
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5448. This project proposes to monitor wetlands, streams, rivers, and lakes in the Dehcho region, with a focus on understanding current and future trends in aquatic mercury and methylmercury. The region has vast stores of mercury accumulated in organic wetland soils, and there is a risk that disturbances such as permafrost ...


CoMet 2.0 Arctic
Principal Investigator: Fix, Andreas
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5211. This project will use aircraft-based instruments using both remote-sensing and in-situ-techniques to carry out measurements of methane and carbon trace gases and tracers related to their emissions. The results will help to better understand the global methane and carbon cycle. This mission makes use of the German r...


NASA Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) Airborne Initiative 2022
Principal Investigator: Miller, Charles E
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5304. The extended ABoVE Study Area includes most of northwestern North America west of Hudson Bay and north and east of the coastal mountain ranges. It encompasses the variability in the key types of ecosystems that are both unique to arctic and boreal regions in North America as well as being representative of the larger ...


NWT-wide Community based Water Quality Monitoring
Principal Investigator: Somers, Gila L
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4762. Water Quality Monitoring equipment is deployed at over 40 sites across the NWT to address community concerns. Community members were trained to use the following equipment: • Sondes: sit in the water and measure basic water quality parameters every 2 hours for up to 3 months. Analysis undertaken at Environment and...


Permafrost monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT
Principal Investigator: Smith, Sharon S
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5181. The combined temperature and active layer monitoring network extends from Fort Simpson to the Arctic Coast. With monitoring instrumentation already in place through work under previous licenses, the main work of this phase will be data collection. While different parts of the network can be visited at different times ...


Fish Habitat and Hydrotechnical Assessments along the Proposed Mackenzie Valley Highway
Principal Investigator: Chiperzak, Doug
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5060. The goal is to collect baseline fish, fish habitat and hydrotechnical data for selected watercourses along the proposed Mackenzie Valley Highway to support engineering design and the regulatory process. Fish habitat will be assessed along 100 m reaches upstream and downstream of each potential watercourse crossing....
