CSI Husky Lakes – Evaluation of hydro-climatic drivers of contaminant transfer in aquatic food webs in the Husky Lakes Watershed
Principal Investigator: Gantner, Nikolaus (Klaus)
Licensed Year(s): 2013 2012 2011
Summary: The overall goals are to: 1. Provide baseline information on contaminant levels, incorporate Traditional Knowledge, and jointly plan future monitoring based on these and other resources; 2. Build capacity locally by providing training in sampling and monitoring techniques to local persons, and; 3. Establish a monitoring plan that incorporates science and TK-based data which provides information...


An Integrated Sea Ice Project for BREA: Detection, Motion, and RADARSAT Mapping of Extreme Ice Features in the Southern Beaufort Sea
Principal Investigator: Barber, David G.
Licensed Year(s): 2013 2012
Summary: The objective of this study is to provide information on the thickness distribution, movement, and characteristics of different types of sea ice within the Beaufort Sea Region. The focus will be on hummocked multi-year sea ice referred to as Extreme Ice Features (EIFs). These EIFs are poorly understood, and would be the most hazardous to any engineered structure in the southern Beaufort Sea (such ...


Investigating the cumulative effects of environmental change and human activity in the Tathlina watershed
Principal Investigator: Laidlaw, Shawn
Licensed Year(s): 2013 2012
Summary: The purpose of this project is to: 1) coordinate monitoring and research efforts in the watershed between the community, government, and universities; 2) understand current aquatic health of the watershed using water quality, macroinvertebrates, aquatic furbearers and fish as indicators of ecosystem health; 3) understand historical environmental change and contaminant loading in the watershed u...


Impacts from climate change on berry productivity in the Canadian Arctic: Integrating community participation with science
Principal Investigator: Desrosiers, Sarah CE
Licensed Year(s): 2013 2012
Summary: 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...


Using Inuvialuit Observations to Monitor Environmental Conditions in the Mackenzie Delta Region of the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Bennett, Trevor D
Licensed Year(s): 2010
Summary: The primary objective of this research involves testing a strategy for using Inuvialuit Knowledge to monitor environmental conditions in the Mackenzie Delta Region (MDR) of the Northwest Territories. Methods will include participatory photo mapping, community mapping, and photo elicitation interviews to monitor, record, document and communicate Inuvialuit observations of environmental change in th...


Vegetation Monitoring and Science Training in the Mackenzie Delta Region
Principal Investigator: Lantz, Trevor C.
Licensed Year(s): 2011 2010
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...


Cumulative Impact Monitoring Program - Community-Based Monitoring Sites and Traditional Knowledge Science Camp
Principal Investigator: Lam, Jennifer
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: The objective of this project is to establish 3 permanent research sites near the communities of Inuvik, Aklavik and Tuktoyaktuk to monitor current and future conditions of climate, permafrost, snow, ice and vegetation. These sites will be established and maintained by local researchers and will provide high school and college level students with opportunities to learn about field science. These s...


Community Monitoring of the Fish Hole (Big Fish River) near Aklavik, NWT: 2006
Principal Investigator: Hoyt, Andrea J.
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005
Summary: In the fall of 2004, the West Side Working Group decided to develop a program to monitor the Big Fish River, involving students from the high school, Hunters and Trappers Committee (HTC) members, and elders. This project will include a week-long field trip each year to the Big Fish River, as well as classroom learning, and reporting back to community members. The project will monitor changes in ...


Community-Based Monitoring Camps
Principal Investigator: LeTourneau, Michele
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2006
Summary: The community-based monitoring camp was created by Diavik to involve Aboriginal Peoples of communities affected by the mine site. People are concerned with effects on fish, water and caribou. Dust from the mine falls out on lichen and water, which are then consumed by caribou and fish. People will gather information about Diavik and environment-related issues and provide input and recommendations ...


Tariuq Community-based Monitoring Program
Principal Investigator: Cobb, Don
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: The objective of this study is to conduct index gillnetting during the open water season in order to understand species abundance and health of fish from selected locations in the Mackenzie estuary. This study is part of the Tariuq program, which was in...
