Objective(s): To establish an overview of background levels of contaminants in the Mackenzie River Delta, with emphasis on hydrocarbon compounds;
Project Description: The Researchers will establish an overview of background levels of contaminants in the Mackenzie River Delta. The study includes collection of large volume water, suspended sediment and grab samples at both inflow and outflow sites of the Mackenzie River Delta. Large volume samples will be extracted at the Inuvik Research Centre, and concentrated before being shipped out for analysis.
