Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4613. The objectives of this project is to complete on ice snow depth, ice thickness and composition survey along with collection under ice core water quality information. Sample locations from previous years are located using a handheld GPS. On ice snow depth is measured using a tape measure. An ice auger is used to pen...

Summary: The first phase of this field program was implemented in 2018, where approximately twenty loggers were deployed and retrieved. A minimum sample size of seventy is required to build a robust stream temperature model. The research team propose to deploy July 14-15 and retrieve August 29-30 the remaining temperature loggers (n = 50) across the Fish Creek watershed. This data will be used to develop a...

Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: The main objective of the study is to implement a one-year environmental monitoring program to support a 2019 water licence application as well as associated regulatory requirements. Three studies will be done in 2019: a) Phase 6 Environmental Effects Monitoring (EEM) program; b) Fish tissue; and, c) Fish presence/absence, habitat survey and benthos sampling. The Ninespine Stickleback su...

Summary: Despite the recognition of the ecological benefits carried by the use of native plant seeds in reclamation, there is still no commercial source of plant materials native to the NWT or Canada’s north. Even finding southern cultivars of local species is a significant challenge. In response to this, Aurora Research Institute (ARI) initiated the NWT Native Seed Development Program, its objective being...

Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017
Summary: The goals of this project are to study the diversity and distribution of the genus Hebeloma and other fungi from the Hymenogastraceae family; to explore the ecology of this ectomycorrhizal family which are important for forest health and a range of local ecosystem services; and, to assemble a more complete phylogeny of the family that will in turn further understanding of the evolution and develop...

Licensed Year(s): 2018
Summary: The goal of this project is to identify invasive plant species on portions of the proposed Prairie Creek all season road from the Liard Highway to the Prairie Creek mine to support environmental approval as per the Mackenzie Valley Review Board’s Report of Environmental Assessment. Walking and driving surveys will be employed as described in the report on the 2016 Survey of Exotic Plants along ...

Principal Investigator: Panayi, Damian
Licensed Year(s): 2018
Summary: To survey a representative sample of the entire length of the Old Airport Road (i.e. disturbed areas) for invasive species and rare plants. Rare plant surveys will be conducted in accordance with the Alberta Native Plant Council (ANPC) guidelines (ANPC 2012) and the Golder Technical Procedures for Rare Plant and Rare Community Surveys. Surveys will be performed when potential rare species are m...

Summary: The objective of this sub-project are: 1) to continue assessing the performance of native plants which were seeded and transplanted into field plots in 2006 and 2007; and, 2) to establish two new field plots at the Inuvik golf course with the same intent of monitoring native seed performance in a disturbed habitat. The research team intend to collect data regarding winter survival, seedling e...

Licensed Year(s): 2018
Summary: Project aims to identify hybrid between C. finmarchicus and C. glacialis and to estimate the geographical distribution of the hybrids. Sample will be collected from a ring net, mesh size 200 micrometer (µm). The net will be deployed from the back of the boat. It will be towed vertically at a speed of 30 m/min. The samples collected will be sieve through 200 µm stainless steel mesh to separate w...
