Summary: The proposed research will develop and evaluate innovative tools and processes to help better understand caribou anatomy and facilitate caribou health. Specific objectives of this project are to: 1. Engage communities in the planning, data collection, interpretation, and integration of traditional knowledge into an anatomical atlas of caribou as a tool to facilitate monitoring the health of t...

Summary: The objectives of this project are to characterize the baseline water and sediment quality within the Thor Lake area, and to characterize the baseline aquatic community through the collection of phytoplankton, zooplankton and benthic invertebrates. Water, sediment and aquatic organisms will be collected from 20 stations within the Thor Lake area. Most stations will be accessed by ATV and/or bo...

Summary: The objective of this research is to obtain traditional knowledge (TK) about: the feeding and preying habits of wolves; the relative importance of caribou in wolves' diet; the composition and seasonality of wolves diet; wolves’ prey preference; the composition and seasonality of caribou diet; caribou and wolf and oral history information, and compare TK from different regions. The Gwich'in Soci...

Principal Investigator: Sheppard, Steve C
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: This licence is issued for the scientific research application #916. The objective of this research is to measure iodine in the muscles of fish and in their substrate water. The researcher is limited to angling fish for the study within the restrictions of the researcher’s angling licence on Mackay Lake. The researcher will also be completing water samples. They will be limited to no more ...

Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: The objective of this research is to collect mosquitoes from the Inuvik area and perform a set of genetic tests to see if they are infected with a particular bacterium called Wolbachia. This bacterium is harmless to humans but affects the mating process of mosquitoes by killing the sperm of an infected male. A presence of Wolbachia has not been detected in the NWT as of yet, but if detected coul...

Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: This licence is issued for the scientific research application #861. This study is designed to examine streams possibly affected by the proposed Mackenzie Gas Project pipeline and streams that can serve as future control/reference sites. The researcher will measure the following: nutrients and metals in stream water, stream water quality (DO, pH, conductivity, etc.), and aquatic invertebrate ab...

Summary: This licence is issued for the scientific research application # 835. This research will examine lakes possibly affected by the proposed Mackenzie Gas Project pipeline, and lakes that can serve as future control/reference sites. Measurements of nutrients and metals in lake water and sediments, lake water quality (DO, pH, conductivity, etc.), and benthic invertebrate and plankton abundance/spec...

Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: The research will examine streams possibly affected by the proposed Mackenzie Gas Project pipeline, and streams that can serve as future control/reference sites. Measurements of stream nutrients, metals in stream water, water quality (DO, pH, conductivity, etc.), stream characteristics (flow, width, depth, etc.) and aquatic invertebrate abundance/species composition will be completed. Possible t...

Principal Investigator: Thompson, Amy L
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007
Summary: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application # 778. This research will examine the livers of Loche fish in the GSA. This research will be completed through: 1) field collection of loche in each of the GSA communities; 2) biological sampling of loche; 3) analysis of stomach health and aging (using isotopes). More specifically, biological measurements will be taken for ea...
