Objective(s): The project will complete baseline biological and chemical data, and investigate new sources of ground water that may be the result of melting permafrost.
Project Description: The Bosworth Creek Monitoring Project has become permanently embedded in Mackenzie Mountain School’s Experiential Science 30 Program and will continue to provide professional development for local youth through associations with academic and industrial institutions. The project will complete baseline biological and chemical data, and investigate new sources of ground water that may be the result of melting permafrost. These resources will assist the Norman Wells Renewable Resource Council with monitoring industrial and natural impacts, as well as the health of the Bosworth Creek watershed. The project’s methodology includes: standard sampling and analytical methods for collecting and studying macroinvertebrates, fish, plants and water and soil chemistry. The project will continue to provide public education opportunities and inform community members about progress through the SRRB Newsletter, public presentations and workshops throughout the year. The fieldwork for this study will be conducted from July 02 to December 31, 2009, on Bosworth Creek.
