Transitioning of permafrost to wetland and implications for biomass gains and losses
chercheur principal: Chasmer, Laura E
Année(s) de permis: 2019
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4527. The objectives are to: 1) Compare the distribution of tree and shrub biomass within accessible areas in the Taiga Shield and Taiga Plains landscapes using lidar remote sensing, and by developing tree and shrub vegetation biomass models from field data; 2) Characterize and compare non fire-disturbed patterns of veget...


ABoVE Permafrost Dynamics Observatory
chercheur principal: Miller, Charles E
Année(s) de permis: 2019
Résumé: The objective of this project is to collect physical and geophysical measurements quantifying permafrost susceptibility to ABoVE's internationally-available dataset. Researchers can access these data to bolster understanding of environmental processes and the ability to remotely-sense these on a regional scale. Airborne remote sensing missions from August 2017, 2018, and August of 2019 by NASA'...


Quantifying permafrost thaw
chercheur principal: Gruber, Stephan
Année(s) de permis: 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015
Résumé: The objectives of this research are: 1) to understand better how permafrost differs in temperature and chemical/physical characteristics from place to place; 2) to understand how these different types of permafrost respond to change (climate/disturbance); and, 3) to understand which future changes in permafrost are likely and which are less likely based on computer simulations. High-quality mea...


PermASAR - Airborne SAR campaign on permafrost soils and boreal forests in the Canadian North-West
chercheur principal: Hajnsek, Irena
Année(s) de permis: 2019 2018
Résumé: For this project the research team will conduct the collection of microwave radar backscatter data of permafrost and boreal forest at wavelengths of 3cm (X-band), 6cm (C-band), 10cm (S-band) and 23cm (L-band). This process will capture two stable permafrost active layer states: thawed and frozen. The research team will derive information about permafrost (e.g. soil status, soil moisture) and about...


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...


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...


Architecture and Construction Technique in the North
chercheur principal: Nadji, Kayhan
Année(s) de permis: 1992 1991
Résumé: The Researcher will continue to investigate the relationship between the architectural and technical aspects of buildings and severe northern climate....
