Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4812. The objective of this project is to increase collection of climate change indicators, while also training Dehcho Guardians to collect the same data independently in the future. This information in addition to the collection of traditional knowledge will show changes to the environment and the data can be used to prote...

Summary: The goals of this research are to ascertain the formation of marine pockmarks, which are circular depressions on the sea floor thought to have formed from the release of methane gas. The hypothesis is that these features are actively releasing gas to the atmosphere and that they are formed from degrading or thawing offshore permafrost. The research team intend to document the seabed characteris...

Licensed Year(s): 2018
Summary: The objectives of the assessment are to: • characterize the fish habitat around the shoreline and nearshore areas of the artificial islands; and • assess current use and suitability of these areas for use by fish species likely present in the Mackenzie River at Norman Wells. The surveys will be based out of Imperial’s Norman Wells Operations and will be centered on the artificial islands the...

Licensed Year(s): 2017 2016
Summary: The 2017 field program constitutes a subset of activities of the ArcticNet’s marine-based research program that has been conducted in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (IRS) within the framework of Scientific Research Licenses awarded for 2009-2013, for 2014-2015 and for 2016-2017. Planned activities will focus on the recovery and deployment of oceanographic moorings as part of ArcticNet’s Long...

Licensed Year(s): 2016
Summary: The objective of this project is to document the physical condition of the seabed lease following the removal of the Tarsiut Caissons. The project also includes sampling benthic populations in the disturbed and undisturbed areas of the lease. This information can be used as a benchmark for possible future study of the effects of natural processes in restoring the footprint of the caissons. A bathy...

Summary: The ArcticNet marine-based research program is carried out from the Canadian research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen. The multi-year sampling program is developed around 3 main research components: 1) a meteorology, ocean & sea ice component; 2) a marine resources and environment component; and 3) a geology/bathymetry component. 1) Meteorology, ocean & sea ice component The general objective of thi...

Principal Investigator: Sibbald, Carey
Licensed Year(s): 2014
Summary: The primary objectives of this research program are to collect baseline data on the bathymetry and depth contours, water chemistry, limnological profiles, sediments, and benthic biota, fish presence and habitat. The Bathymetry field program will be conducted in August 2014, prior to the Aquatics and Fisheries field programs. Data from the bathymetry field program is required to finalize samplin...

Principal Investigator: Sibbald, Carey
Licensed Year(s): 2014
Summary: The objective of the field program is to obtain necessary bathymetric data to complete volumetric calculations to determine the maximum winter water withdrawal volumes from potential water sources. As the field program will primarily be focused on the Fort Good Hope – Dempster Highway portion, the field crew (consisting of two people, plus a bear monitor) will mobilize out of Inuvik and/or Fort...
