20182017 Summary:
The project aims to build community partnerships, identify field sites, and develop and implement sampling protocols for long term, community-based, monitoring of wetland ecosystems near Fort Good Hope (FGH).
Whereas some wetlands in the study area have either already been, or are likely to be, impacted by a wide range of industrial activities, including development of oil and gas and associat...

Summary:
The goals of this research project are:
1. To fill the information gap on Bathurst caribou summer range conditions using satellite remote sensing data and community-based ground vegetation monitoring
2. To develop a cumulative impact assessment method that makes cumulative impact assessment possible even if data are incomplete and provides timely feedback for guiding the refinement of monitoring...

Summary:
This project has three main objectives:
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 Landsat satellite images will be obtained, that will provide refle...

Summary:
There are two objectives associated with this research. The first is to establish vegetation and permafrost monitoring sites in the region. The establishment of these permanent monitoring sites will improve our understanding of base-line environmental conditions in the region. The second goal for the 2010 monitoring season is to build local capacity for monitoring vegetation and permafrost in t...
