Long term river flow and climate conditions reconstructed from lake sediments
Principal Investigator: Lamoureux, Scott F
Licensed Year(s): 2012
Summary: The research team seeks to obtain sediment cores from two lakes in order to reconstruct past river flow in the region. This work, which builds on similar efforts at "Shellabear" lake, NWT, and work at Cape Bounty (Nunavut), will focus on long term river flow characteristics and the climate factors that control them. The fieldwork involves augering a hole in the lake ice and lowering a tube int...


2011 Baseline Studies for Avalon Rare Metals Inc. Proposed Thor Lake Rare Earth Element Project - Surface Water Hydrology and Climate
Principal Investigator: Lawson, Nick
Licensed Year(s): 2011 2010 2009
Summary: The goal of the 2011 Surface Water Hydrology & Climate program at Thor Lake is to collect additional data that describes the existing surface water and climate conditions at the Thor Lake Property. This information is required for continued baseline monitoring, environmental assessments and water management plans for the area. Data obtained will help determine a quantitative description of the ann...


Deltaic Lake Sediments as Recorders of Past Carbon Export from Arctic River Drainage Basins
Principal Investigator: Vonk, Jorien
Licensed Year(s): 2011 2009 2007
Summary: The research project goal is to collect surface sediments, bank and levee sediments, particulate sediments and shallow sediment cores from lakes in the Mackenie River Delta, and to evaluate their utility as potential archives of information concerning past permafrost stability by assessing down-core changes in the age and supply of terrestrial carbon. In 2007 and 2009, teams led by Prof. Tim Eglin...


Analyzing oceanic storm surge impacts within the coastal Mackenzie Delta, NWT
Principal Investigator: Moorman, Brian J
Licensed Year(s): 2010
Summary: The main objective of this study is to establish the degree of impact and spatial extent of specific oceanic storm surges within the coastal Mackenzie Delta over the past 40 years. This investigation will be completed by analyzing remote sensing imagery to create multiyear change maps. The resulting maps will then be correlated to historic water level and climate data and verified by field samples...


Limnology and Paleoecology of Arctic Lakes: Belcher Islands and Yellowknife Area
Principal Investigator: Smol, John P
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researchers will collect water samples from lakes and ponds to assess the present water quality. Lake and pond mud samples will also be taken to identify algal indications of lake quality....


Spring Field Camp: Geology, Climatology and Limnology
Principal Investigator: Maus, Lin
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The project instructors will give students exposure to field methodologies involved in water, snow and ice environments....


Limnology of Lake Hazen: Fish, Atmospheric Pollution and Climate History
Principal Investigator: Brunskill, Gregg
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: Sediment samples from Hazen Lake will help scientist understand the global movement of airborn pollutants. In addition, various species of the Lake Hazen biomass will be collected and analyzed to determine if atmoshperic pollutants are present....
