202220212020 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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
