Application of passive seismic methodologies to the determination of overburden thickness in a permafrost-rich environment
chercheur principal: McPeak, Sara E
Année(s) de permis: 2018
Résumé: The objectives of this project are to test if passive seismics can be used to map the thickness of overburden in a permafrost-rich environment; and, to compare overburden thickness derived from passive seismic data and known overburden thickness from drilling. This project will test to see if the earth’s natural vibration can be used to determine how much sand, gravel, soil and permafrost are a...


Sustainable Water Governance and Indigenous Law Project
chercheur principal: Bakker, Karen
Année(s) de permis: 2018 2017
Résumé: The goal is to enhance effective, equitable Indigenous co-governance of water resources through pursuing five objectives: 1)Critically conceptualize the potential for reciprocal coordination of, and complementarity between, evolving common ("Western") and Indigenous water law and governance frameworks; 2)Develop innovative methods for co-researching Indigenous Water Governance, based on collabor...


Evaluation of Climate Change impacts on Transportation Systems
chercheur principal: Ford, James D
Année(s) de permis: 2017
Résumé: This proposed project will develop critical scientific methods for quantifying transportation vulnerabilities and adaptation opportunities, filling knowledge gaps about transportation vulnerabilities and opportunities for action. Designing and implementing an Arctic vulnerability and adaptation index for transportation systems and infrastructure is crucial to improving the understanding of how ...


Feasibility Study on Solid Waste Processing
chercheur principal: Layden, Ronald E.
Année(s) de permis: 2017
Résumé: The objectives of this research project are to: 1) determine how solid waste is disposed of in Yellowknife; 2) determine what the regulations are for solid waste disposal in Northwest Territories (NT)/Yellowknife; and, 3) assess potential opportunities for Micro Auto Gasification System (MAGS) systems in Yellowknife. The research team will examine the regulations currently available in the N...


Radar Satellite Observations of Lake Ice Breakup and Freeze-up
chercheur principal: van der Sanden, Joost J.
Année(s) de permis: 2017 2012 2010 2009
Résumé: This project aims to evaluate and develop the utility of Canada’s future RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) (launch 2018) for the monitoring of lake ice breakup and freeze-up. RCM-type radar images will be simulated using data from Canada’s current radar satellite – that is - RADARSAT-2. Validation data in the form of oblique aerial photographs are required to assess the accuracy of the image pr...


Community-Based Water Quality Monitoring in the Northwest Territories
chercheur principal: Beveridge, Meghan
Année(s) de permis: 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013
Résumé: The purpose of the project is to work in collaboration with Northwest Territories (NWT) communities to collect water quality data to answer community concerns and questions about the health of NWT waters, to enhance understanding of cumulative impacts and to contribute to decision making. There are three associated objectives: 1) collect water quality data at locations throughout the NWT, to ...


Geoscience Tools for Supporting Environmental Risk Assessment of Metal Mining
chercheur principal: Galloway, Jennifer
Année(s) de permis: 2016
Résumé: This project will focus on providing baseline information for areas of high resource potential. In areas of past land use and soon to be developed areas in the Slave Geological Province, the project will generate new spatial and temporal data on changing geochemical, permafrost, ecological and climate data for the past 1000 years. This data will be integrated with Traditional Ecological Knowledge ...


Delivery System For Pre-Engineered Manufactured Self-Sustaining (PEMaSS) Housing To Remote Regions
chercheur principal: Thirunavukarasu, Asok
Année(s) de permis: 2015
Résumé: The objective of this research is to identify current state of housing in Yellowknife. This field research should give insights on window-wall ratio, window type, typical R-values, typical construction assemblies, mechanical systems used and delivery process for housing. This will help benchmark the current energy and future performance of housing in the region. As well, the objective of this fiel...


DOC in surface waters in the NWT; implications of a changing climate
chercheur principal: English, Michael C
Année(s) de permis: 2015
Résumé: This research focusses upon dissolved organic carbon (DOC) quantity and quality from a suite of hydrological environments underlain by discontinuous permafrost. The research looks to better understand how water quality will be influenced by a warming climate, with specific attention to DOC, by analysing historical water quality data (30 years) from three local rivers (Yellowknife, Cameron, and Mar...


Impacts of recent climate warming on Canada’s northern aquatic ecosystems
chercheur principal: Blais, Jules M
Année(s) de permis: 2014
Résumé: The objectives of this research project are: 1) to determine the impact of shoreline expansion and forest/peat submergence from thawing permafrost on contaminant and carbon fluxes to lakes in the Yellowknife region; 2) to develop novel approaches to track terrestrial organic matter sources in lakes, in order to assess how climate warming and permafrost thaw are affecting the delivery of terrestr...
