Water quality monitoring equipment has been deployed at over 42 sites across the NWT to address community concerns.
Community members were trained to use the following equipment:
•YSI sondes: sit in the water and measure basic water quality parameters every 2 hours for up to 3 months. Analysis undertaken at ENR.
•Grab water samples: measure basic parameters, nutrients, physicals, major ions,...

2017 Summary:
The objective of this research is to establish a community-based monitoring program in the Peel River watershed, based in Fort McPherson.
Previous research has shown that multiple whitefish ecotypes (non-anadromous, semi-anadromous and anadromous, utilize the Peel River as spawning habitat, but it is unclear how much each ecotype contributes to harvester catches. As different ecotypes occupy d...

Objective 1: To use satellite imagery (Landsat, QuickBird, InSAR, etc.) to document the rate and extent of landscape change (slumps, subsidence, vegetation change, etc.) in the northern Mackenzie Basin.
To quantify landscape disturbances and vegetation regeneration patterns since 1985 the research team will obtain Landsat satellite images that will provide reflectance measurements covering a 1...
