North Slave Permafrost Study: Characterization and Predicting Discontinuous Permafrost for Climate Change Adaptation
chercheur principal: Wolfe, Stephen A
Année(s) de permis: 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5404. This activity describes and predicts the occurrence of discontinuous permafrost in the northern Great Slave Lake region to assist in planning, development and maintenance of community and industry infrastructure. Changes in climate are affecting permafrost distribution, temperatures and geotechnical conditions. Differ...

Année(s) de permis: 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5419. This project continues the on-going monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT. This phase of the project is largely data collection. Objectives are to provide baseline knowledge of permafrost and terrain conditions (specifically ground temperature and active la...


TTOP Modelling in Whati NT for Present and Future Climates
chercheur principal: Bonnaventure , Philip P.
Année(s) de permis: 2021
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4945. The goal of this project is to build on previous permafrost work by creating a Temperature at Top of Permafrost (TTOP) model and map for the community of Whatì. This model will allow the research team to calculate how permafrost may change with increasing air temperatures. The data will assist the community of Whatì o...


Permafrost in the western Arctic
chercheur principal: Kokelj, Steve V
Année(s) de permis: 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4663. The primary objectives of this research are: 1) to develop and test new methods of monitoring permafrost landscape change; 2) to investigate the impacts of natural and human disturbance on permafrost terrain and the ground temperature conditions in natural environments and in communities; and 3) to assess the physical...


Permafrost monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT
chercheur principal: Smith, Sharon S
Année(s) de permis: 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006
Résumé: This project continues the on-going monitoring program of permafrost monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT. This phase of the project is largely data collection. The specific objectives are: 1) to provide baseline knowledge of permafrost and terrain conditions (specifically ground temperature and permafrost active layer thickness) and ...


Boreal Forest Carbon Balance Studies
chercheur principal: Layden, Ronald E.
Année(s) de permis: 2017
Résumé: The objective of this project is to increase the understanding of taiga carbon balance of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and predict into the future the impacts of climate warming on these systems. The exchange of carbon gases between the taiga and atmosphere is a significant component of the carbon balance and is dependent upon vegetation cover. The description below for the tundra site at...


Impacts from climate change on berry productivity in the Canadian Arctic: Integrating community participation with science
chercheur principal: Desrosiers, Sarah CE
Année(s) de permis: 2013 2012
Résumé: The main objective of the Berry Project is to establish a long-term community-based monitoring program in arctic communities using culturally important berry species as indicators of climate change. The project’s main objectives for the Daring Lake Tundra Science Camp are to bring awareness to the effects of climate change and to expand environmental stewardship. These goals can be achieved by del...


Permafrost Investigations and Climate Change, Western Arctic Canada
chercheur principal: Burn, Chris R
Année(s) de permis: 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998
Résumé: The principal objective of most of the work is to determine how permafrost conditions in the western Arctic will respond to climate change. This affects how the ground will be able to support development projects in the future. The researchers are collecting data on ground temperatures in the region and finding out how they have changed over the last 35 years. The researchers will travel to I...


Active Layer Monitoring Network in the Mackenzie Valley
chercheur principal: Nixon, Frederick M
Année(s) de permis: 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Résumé: The active layer is the earth overlying permafrost that thaws from the surface and re-freezes each year, and it responds to climate change. Active layer thickness influences vegetation and soil conditions, potentially influencing hunting, forestry, etc. and it’s, thickness, texture and moisture content affects foundations. Changes in the active layer and thaw depth can contribute to slope instabil...
