Recovery of the Mine-impacted Landscape in the Yellowknife Region
Principal Investigator: Palmer, Mike
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5534. The long-term objective of this research is to determine what processes control the recovery of the landscape near Yellowknife that was contaminated by stack emissions from the Giant Mine roaster, and how this recovery will be affected by climate change and unusual or severe weather events. One focus will be on how cl...


Investigating the seasonality of subarctic lakes in a changing climate using satellite & field data
Principal Investigator: Kheyrollah Pour, Homa
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5335. This proposed research is directed at understanding the impact of current/future climate warming on subarctic lake ecosystems. The aim is to explore the relationship of seasonal lake ice growth/ablation and water quality across a wide range of lake characteristics (size, volume, productivity, catchment characteristics...


Impact of climate change on catchment biogeochemistry in plains and shield regions
Principal Investigator: Olefeldt, David
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2019 2018
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4734. The objective of this research is to identify impacts of climate change and permafrost thaw on pond methane emissions, and on water chemistry in streams that drain peatland-rich catchments. Impacts on methane emissions will be assessed. Specific objectives are: 1) to characterize the trends and variability in magn...


Using the past to inform the future: A paleoecological perspective of the impacts of drought and fire on lakes, permafrost and forests
Principal Investigator: Pisaric, Michael FJ
Licensed Year(s): 2019 2018 2017 2016
Summary: The objectives of this research are to examine the frequency and severity of past wildfire and drought (drought-like) conditions in the southern Northwest Territories. Specifically, the research team will examine the following questions: 1) how frequent and severe have fires been in the past; 2) are fires becoming more frequent/severe due to the impacts of climate change; 3) what impact does wildf...
