Wildfires and contaminated landscapes: The impact of wildfire on the mobility, transport and fate of metal(loids) in a subarctic shield landscape
Principal Investigator: Devoie, Élise
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5898. The main goal of this project is to explore how wildfire will affect the stability and fate of metals and metalloids (i.e. arsenic, mercury, antimony) in mining contaminated and pristine landscapes. Metal(loid) concentrations in air, soil, and water in and around Boundary Creek (30 km west of Yellowknife) will be co...

Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5645. The proposed study is a Community Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) project. Inspired by the Tli?cho framework, Strong Like Two People, this project aims to highlight the importance of making space for traditional knowledge and ways of being within Western, medical and scientific spaces. The overarching go...


Impact of wildfire and forest management on permafrost and post-fire regeneration
Principal Investigator: Baltzer, Jennifer L
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5902. This project has two main objectives: 1) To monitor the recovery of NWT forests following wildfire to better understand post-fire changes on forest composition and ground vegetation 2) To develop baseline information about proposed forest management areas to support assessment of harvesting impacts on these areas...


Subarctic Lakes in a Changing Climate (SLACC) - Lake studies in the Yellowknife area
Principal Investigator: Palmer, Mike
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5901. The overarching objective of this program is to take an ecosystem approach to assessing how multiple environmental stressors impact aquatic habitats in subarctic shield terrain. There are three central activities that will be undertaken with this license and they are designed to address the specific objectives below...


Metal contamination in invertebrates from Yellowknife area : potential for environmental biomonitoring and evolutionary studies
Principal Investigator: Rosabal, Maikel
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5872. Objectives: i) to assess the biomonitoring use of invertebrates to provide information regarding the contamination level of arsenic, antimony, cadmium, zinc as well as of rare earth elements, ii) to understand how amphipods (H. azteca) and zooplankton (Daphnia spp.) adapt to these highly metal-contaminated environ...


Dragonfly mercury monitoring in the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Chetelat, John
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5894. The main objective of this project is to measure mercury in dragonfly larvae from a variety of aquatic ecosystems in the Yellowknife area. This information will be collected as part of a Canada-wide project to evaluate geographic and temporal patterns of mercury bioaccumulation. The first priority will be to inve...


Ecological and evolutionary determinants of aquatic biodiversity in subarctic lake along an arsenic contamination gradient
Principal Investigator: Derry, Alison
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5868. This project is part of a long-term project that aims to determine ecological and evolutionary processes, and interactions between ecology and evolution (eco-evolutionary interactions), that are potentially limiting and/or facilitating the biological recovery of mining-impacted lakes around Yellowknife, NWT. The m...
