Boreal caribou habitat enhancement – lichen habitat restoration on disturbed sites
Principal Investigator: d'Entremont, Marc
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5886. Through the development and establishment of a terrestrial lichen transplant and monitoring program, the project aims to meet the following objectives: • Objective 1: Enhance boreal caribou winter forage in the areas that were impacted by past mining activities in the Pine Point area by transplanting terrestrial lic...


Recovery of boreal caribou habitat after forest fires
Principal Investigator: d'Entremont, Marc
Licensed Year(s): 2020 2019 2018
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4630. In 2015-2016, the Deninu Kue First Nation (DKFN) and LGL Limited completed a traditional use study on boreal caribou habitat and habitat use that incorporated traditional knowledge and scientific information in the identification of foraging habitat for boreal caribou in the South Slave region of the Northwest Territo...


Lichen Sampling Program - Diavik 2013
Principal Investigator: Wells, David A
Licensed Year(s): 2013 2010 2005
Summary: The aim of this research project is to determine whether dust generated from mining activities is causing a measurable change in dust deposition to and/or metals uptake in lichen closer to and further from the mine. If a significant difference in uptake is noted closer to versus further from the mine, a health risk assessment to caribou may be conducted to determine risks associated with consumpti...


Metals Uptake from Vegetation to Caribou in the Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Katz, Sharon
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: The monitoring objectives of this project are: to conduct a targeted scientific program to analyze heavy metals and trace elements and stable isotopes in vegetation (caribou food); to correlate the results in vegetation with concentrations in caribou from a related NCP program [Gamberg 2006]; to test if contaminant patterns in caribou tissues will vary with patterns observed in lichen/moss, or wil...


A Study of Polonium 210 and Lead 210 in Food Chains, Lichen-Caribou-Man and Lichen-Caribou-Wolf in Northern Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Thomas, Patricia
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The study will compare two arctic food chains, namely, lichen-caribou- wolf and lichen-caribou-human to investigate the accumulation and transfer of Polonium-210 and Lead-210. Background levels of radiation will be measured by collecting samples of lichen, caribou, wolf and human placenta....
