From ice algae to sediments in the frozen arctic seas: the contribution of direct sedimentation and zooplankton grazing on the vertical flux of carbon
Principal Investigator: Fortier, Louis
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: The researchers will be examining small marine organisms (algae, zooplankton and phytoplankton) to determine their influence on global warming. Carbon is necessary for the production of carbon dioxide (CO2), and increase levels of CO2 in the atmosphere can contribute to an increase in the earth's overall temperature. The study will examine how these small marine creatures can reduce carbon level...


A seasonal sea ice monitoring and modelling site
Principal Investigator: Ledrew, Ellsworth
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The primary objective of the research is to characterize the physical processes of the interaction between sea ice, the ocean and the atmosphere. Monitoring of this interaction is necessary to understanding the impacts of a carbon dioxide (CO2) warming of arctic regions. The researchers will continue to collect data for this long-term study....


Fire, carbon budget and climate change
Principal Investigator: Wein, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The research team will be examining areas of permafrost south of Inuvik and near Hay River in order to assess the rate of loss of permafrost as a result of the warming in climate over the past twenty years. The loss in permafrost may be speeded up following a local fire. The wetlands that replace these areas of permafrost could lead to a greater production of methane (one of the gases that contr...
