Impacts of wildfire on runoff response and downstream water chemistry in a region with rapid permafrost loss
Principal Investigator: Olefeldt, David
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5892. Objective summary: To assess the effect of wildfires on changes in water quality in the Dehcho and South Slave region, which are affected by runoff from peatlands (containing e.g., organics, nutrients, and mercury/methylmercury), which are already experiencing increased permafrost thaw due to climate change. Synop...


How are changes on the land affecting water resources around Fort Good Hope and Ts’ude Niline Tuyeta?
Principal Investigator: Comte, Jerome
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5646. This project proposes to evaluate responses of aquatic ecosystems to permafrost thaw, lake drying, and wildfire, as well as their cumulative impacts. The researchers will characterize lake chemistry and biological diversity (microbes and invertebrates) in water (current environmental change) and in sediments (histori...


Scotty Creek 2.0: how interaction between rapidly thawing permafrost and wildfire affect peatland complex trace gas exchanges
Principal Investigator: Sonnentag, Oliver
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5532. 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...


Understanding the Interactions between Wildfire Disturbance, Landscape Hydrology and Post-Fire Recovery in Boreal-Taiga Ecosystems
Principal Investigator: Bourgeau-Chavez, Laura L.
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4940. The overall goal of the proposed research is to improve understanding of the controls and impacts of a changing climate on the vulnerability and resiliency of boreal-taiga ecosystems to wildfire. This is being addressed through field sampling and process-based ecological and hydrological modeling of the 2014-2016 wild...
