Lakes as sentinels of environmental change in discontinuous permafrost peatlands
Principal Investigator: Korosi, Jennifer B
Licensed Year(s): 2025 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6162. Understand and predict how lakes in discontinuous permafrost peatlands are changing in response to climate warming and loss of permafrost. Our field activities for 2023 will focus on three regions/objectives: (1) Inferring long-term environmental change in the Five Fish Lakes (Lue Túé Sulái) – We will collect s...


Using Inuvialuit and Gwich'in observations to monitor environmental change in the Beaufort Delta Region
Principal Investigator: Lantz, Trevor C.
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6148. The core objective of this research is to work with Inuvialuit and Gwich’in experts to document local observations of environmental conditions. Specifically, we will use semi-structured interviews and, where possible, land-based observation to document environmental conditions with photographs and videos georeference...


Remote sensing of winter snow and soil moisture status using airborne Ku and L- band Synthetic Aperture Radar observations (2025)
Principal Investigator: Kelly, Richard
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6137. The main objectives are: 1. to fly a novel Ku- and L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system over snow covered tundra land, lakes and sea ice in winter to obtain unique radar observations of these environments; 2. to use collected field measurements acquired by ongoing field work by P. Marsh's (PI) group at Trail ...


Sikunnguaq - “the likeness or image of ice in maps”
Principal Investigator: Scharien, Randall
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6130. This research project aims to develop sea ice information retrieval algorithms for satellite data, for safe sea ice travel needs as identified by Inuit (ice roughness, slush, and ice thickness). Information retrieval methods developed for satellite data will be transferred to prototype image product formats represent...


To what extent will nitrogen limit Canadian boreal forest growth and the terrestrial carbon sink under global change?
Principal Investigator: Kou-Giesbrecht, Sian
Licensed Year(s): 2025 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6084. The overarching objective of this research is to understand the extent to which nutrients will limit forest growth and terrestrial carbon sequestration in Canadian boreal forests and to improve how this is represented in climate change models. These climate change models can then be used to understand the impacts of ...


Linking Climate Change models with impacts on subsistence fisheries
Principal Investigator: Steiner, Nadja
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6095. 1. Continued discussions around the static calendar in order to assess potential future changes of species and subsistence activities. This will expand the communication and teaching tool within the community (elder-youth connection) (year 1) 2. A website/social media platform providing a) an online version of the c...


Tundra-climate interaction study
Principal Investigator: Humphreys, Elyn
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6094. The long-term research objective of this project is to improve our understanding of the carbon, water and energy exchange between tundra and the atmosphere. Over the next five years, we plan to continue monitoring these exchanges between Tundra Shield ecosystems and the atmosphere. This long-term data will be analyze...


Protecting Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledges amidst the Climate Change Crisis: Biodiversity and Wellbeing Scan
Principal Investigator: Redvers, Nicole
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6032. The proposed project will build off of current work in the Northwest Territories with four main objectives: 1) Carry out broad relational community engagement activities on ITEK protection in relation to climate change in a sub-set of Indigenous communities across the US and Canada (e.g., talking circles, community...


Carbon Capture by Boreal Afforestation: feasibility for Canada's net-zero emission goals
Principal Investigator: Whyte, Lyle
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6013. The overall goal of this project is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of carbon capture capacity of the northern tree line migration into the northern regions of Canada. Specifically, the research group's objective is to identify if soil and plant root associated microbial communities inhabiting areas very close ...


Assessing the cumulative impacts of repeated wildfires on aquatic ecosystems in the Dehcho and South Slave area, NT
Principal Investigator: Cox, Amelia
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5970. 1) To assess the impact of recent 2023 wildfires on the aquatic ecosystem in small ponds in the Dehcho and South Slave area. 2) To assess whether small ponds impacted by the 2014 wildfire season had recovered to pre-fire conditions. 3) To assess whether there were cumulative impacts of repeated wildfires on small ...
