Connecting Indigenous Families in the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2025 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6003. Telecommunications services in remote communities of northern Canada are usually more expensive, slower, less available, less reliable, and of lower quality regarding service compared to their southern and urban counterparts. The global pandemic has further highlighted the digital divide and broadband service dispari...


Permafrost monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT
Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2025 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6180. This project continues the on-going monitoring program of the same title (Licence # 17182) Permafrost monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT). This phase of the project is largely data collection. Objectives are: • To provide baseline knowledge of permafrost ...


Scotty Creek 2.0: how interaction between rapidly thawing permafrost and wildfire affect peatland complex trace gas exchanges
Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2025 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6174. The objective of the research project is to elucidate the change in the atmospheric carbon balance of thawing permafrost regions post-disturbance.The impact of disturbances such as fire, especially in conjunction with permafrost thaw, are still not well understood. By installing a new 15-m eddy covariance tower at Sc...


The frontline of permafrost thaw: a transect of eddy covariance towers across the southern Taiga Plains to better understand changing regional carbon and water budgets
Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2025 2024 2023 2022 2021 2019 2018 2018 2017 2016 2015
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6176. Through this project my research group will address the following objectives: What is the net effect of permafrost thawing induced biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks to the climate system? How do these two types of feedback differ between the sporadic and discontinuous permafrost zones? Is the reported decrease...


Exploring Pathways to Sexual and Reproductive Health in a Cohort Study with Northern and Indigenous Youth in the Northwest Territories, Canada
Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2025 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6169. The objectives of this research are to: 1. Build capacity and leadership in HIV prevention and research among Northern and Indigenous youth in the NWT; 2. Evaluate the effect of arts-based HIV prevention programs on Northern and Indigenous youth’s HIV and STI knowledge, cultural connectedness, self-esteem, empowe...


Lakes as sentinels of environmental change in discontinuous permafrost peatlands
Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2025 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6162. Understand and predict how lakes in discontinuous permafrost peatlands are changing in response to climate warming and loss of permafrost. Our field activities for 2023 will focus on three regions/objectives: (1) Inferring long-term environmental change in the Five Fish Lakes (Lue Túé Sulái) – We will collect s...


The export of terrigenous dissolved organic carbon from boreal terrestrial ecosystems to the Arctic Ocean and its vulnerability to environmental change -- Extended Year 4
Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6147. The primary objective of this funded project is to develop a sophisticated model that can simulate the mobilization, transport, transformations, and export of tDOC from the Mackenzie River watershed to the Arctic Ocean. The model will be used to simulate the transfer of tDOC during the past two decades and for plausi...


A web-based data portal for northern communities and decision-makers: The winter road/trail network across Canada’s North
Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5627. We will develop a user-friendly online portal that can synthesize and centralize, in one comprehensive network database, climate data and simulations, logistical and operational data, physical, socio-economic, and cultural aspects of winter road/trail networks across Canada’s North. This project assesses the unique m...


Hydrological impacts of wildfire in peatland-dominated discontinuous permafrost terrain
Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6132. The long-term objective of this research programme is to improve the understanding, parameterisation and prediction of water flow and storage processes in peatland-dominated, thawing, discontinuous permafrost. Over the next 5 years, significant progress toward this long term objective will be made through the followi...


Geothermal potential of the Southern Mackenzie Region
Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6126. The research project aims to evaluate the geothermal potential in the communities of the Southern part of the Northwest Territories where a geothermal gradient favourable to geothermal resource development is known to exist and can exceed 50°C/km. Giving those diesel dependent communities access to clean energy by su...
