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...


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 ...


Dene Béré (Country Foods) Campaign
Principal Investigator: Andrew, Leon
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5402. The aim of this project is to support adaptation of Dene be´re´ (Dene be´re´) systems to climate change through a harvesting and sharing program that includes hunters, women and youth. To do so, the research team propose to increase the communication of knowledge on Dene be´re´ and to build a community harvesting pilo...


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): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5951. 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 ...


How are changes on the land affecting water resources around Fort Good Hope and Ts’ude Niline Tuyeta?
Principal Investigator: Comte, Jerome
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5930. This project proposes to evaluate responses of aquatic ecosystems to permafrost thaw, lake drying, and wildfire, as well as their cumulative impacts. Lake chemistry and biological diversity (microbes and invertebrates) in water (current environmental change) and in sediments (historical change) will be characterized,...


Resampling of Microalgal Communities and soil lipids in Lakes Across a 1400 km Transect from Yukon to Northwest Territories: Analysis of Changes Since 1993
Principal Investigator: Alibert, Marie
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5619. The objective of this study is to examine how climate change has impacted lake ecosystems and soils whether the changes follow a similar direction as those observed in Nunavik. Based on the results from Quebec, there should be a northward shift of different types of microalgal communities because of vegetation evolut...


Wildfires and contaminated landscapes: The impact of wildfire on the mobility, transport and fate of metal(loids) in a subarctic shield landscape
Principal Investigator: Devoie, Élise
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5898. The main goal of this project is to explore how wildfire will affect the stability and fate of metals and metalloids (i.e. arsenic, mercury, antimony) in mining contaminated and pristine landscapes. Metal(loid) concentrations in air, soil, and water in and around Boundary Creek (30 km west of Yellowknife) will be co...


Impacts of climate change and permafrost thaw on the Whatì community well: A groundwater vulnerability assessment
Principal Investigator: Wright, Stephanie
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5888. The goal of this project is to assess the vulnerability of the Whatì community’s drinking water supply well to the impacts of climate change (e.g., permafrost thaw, precipitation changes, contaminant mobilization). A groundwater observation well network will be established to help identify changes to groundwater quan...
