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...


Hydrology of Northern Latitudes
Principal Investigator: Marsh, Philip
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5842. The objectives of this project are to: (1) develop improved understanding of, and ability to predict, the complex northern hydrologic system, (2) consider the integrated effect of the changing climate on vegetation, snow, permafrost, streamflow, and lakes, and (4) develop improved water models needed to predict futur...

NWT Streams and Rivers of the future: How permafrost thaw and groundwater activation are changing water resources (CIMP226)
Principal Investigator: Wright, Stephanie
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5846. Objective 1 (O1): Assess the spatial and temporal patterns of hydrologic change (groundwater and surface water) in the La Martre River and Trout River catchments. Objective 2 (O2): Identify the drivers, processes, and feedbacks responsible for the hydrologic changes identified in O1 and how they differ between the s...


Effects of snowpack temporal and physical properties affect wintertime carbon fluxes in Arctic landscapes
Principal Investigator: Rutter, Nick
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5822. The objectives of this project are: (1) To develop, deploy, and refine low-cost sensors to measure green house gas (GHG) concentrations. (2) To identify GHG concentration patterns within snowpacks at a landscape scale (1 to 10 square km). (3) To optimise winter carbon cycling in climate models, and scale up simula...
