This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5535.
Through this project my research group will address the following objectives: What is the net effect of permafrost thawing induced biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks to the climate system? How do these two types of feedback differ between the sporadic and discontinuous permafrost zones? Is the reported decrease ...

This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5555.
Our objective is to install 3 Automated Recording Units (ARUs) that will collect daily audio recordings that will allow us to understand how variation in environmental conditions affect habitat use by birds.
To begin, we will temporarily attach 3 ARUs onto 3 trees (using bungee cord or ratchet straps). All birds th...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5253.
The long-term project objective is to determine ecological and evolutionary processes, and interactions between ecology and evolution (eco-evolutionary interactions), that are potentially limiting and/or facilitating the biological recovery of mining-impacted lakes around Yellowknife, NWT. The objective in the first y...

Summary:
The overall goal of the research is to improve understanding of the controls and impacts of a changing climate on the vulnerability and resiliency of boreal-taiga ecosystems to wildfire. This is being addressed through field sampling and process-based ecological and hydrological modeling of the 2014-2016 wildfires of southern NWT.
To conduct the proposed research, the research team will addres...

2014 Summary:
This PhD project aims at studying the biogeography, the ecology, and the human-animal relationships of wolverines (Gulo gulo) across Canada in two study sites: NWT and Quebec. The collected biogeographical, ecological and ethno-biological data will provide a detailed knowledge of wolverines’ ecological and socio-cultural status across Canada, which is critical for the elaboration of future conserv...

Understanding the integrated eco-hydrological behaviour of ecosystems in the context of thawing permafrost is a major challenge. To meet this, the research team will measure the present surface and near-surface water supplies and their inter-annual variability assuming a condition of no permafrost thaw. The team will also develop new knowledge on the eco-hydrology of the major ecosystems (i.e. bog...
