Recent changes in carbon source-sink relationships and greenhouse gas emissions in forest and peatland ecosystems along the Mackenzie Valley region of Canada
Principal Investigator: Bhatti, Jagtar
Licensed Year(s): 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007
Summary: The objectives of this research project are to: 1. map and assess changes in the distribution and composition of forest and peatland ecosystems due to climate changes; 2. estimate carbon storage (and variation) in boreal to arctic ecoregions of the Mackenzie valley; and 3. assess interannual and seasonal variations and key processes controlling carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) dynamics. ...

Environment, Commerce, and Science in Western Arctic History
Principal Investigator: Stuhl, Andrew T
Licensed Year(s): 2011 2010
Summary: There are several goals for this research project. The first is to reach a greater understanding of the broad patterns of scientific research, natural resource development, and environmental change in the Beaufort-Delta from 1889 until today. The second goal for this research is to follow a public-scholarship approach throughout the research process, from developing and refining the research que...

Arctic Intergenerational Perspectives on the Future
Principal Investigator: Parlee, Brenda L
Licensed Year(s): 2010
Summary: The aim of the project is to develop and administer an instrument to gather both quantitative and qualitative data linking health and environmental change (caribou population decline) in northern Aboriginal communities. The research aims to provide outputs of relevance to the communities and partner organizations including policy relevant outputs on the effects of caribou population change on the ...

Quaternary History of the Summer Island area, Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands
Principal Investigator: Murton, Julian B
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: The objective this geological research is to reconstruct climate and environmental history of Richards Island before the last ice age using sediment and peat samples. Fieldwork around the Mason Bay camp will be carried out on foot and a small boat along the coastal bluffs in Summer Island, Richards Island and Hadwen Island. Fieldwork will be carried out by clearing slumped sand from coastal bluff...

Environmental Change in the Western Canadian Arctic Islands
Principal Investigator: England, John H
Licensed Year(s): 2012 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002
Summary: This licence was issued for the application no. 822. The objective of this research is to determine how the environment of Banks Island has evolved during the past several hundred thousand years to present, especially whether Banks Island served as a biological refugia during previous glaciations. The researchers aim to understand and reconstruct the extent and dynamics of past glaciers, past c...

Environmental change in the 20th century, Mackenzie Delta region, Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Pisaric, Michael FJ
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2006 2005
Summary: The objective of this research is to study the impacts of climate change on boreal and aquatic ecosystems in the Mackenzie Delta region. By doing so, the researchers hope to gain a better understanding of the effects of long-term climate change on these ecosystems. Their study will utilize dendrochronological and paleolimnological methods to examine spruce forests and lake sites situated in the in...

Variability and Change in the Canadian Cryosphere - Tundra Information Transferability Study
Principal Investigator: Walker, Anne E
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: Environment Canada plans to measure snow depth, snow density and snow water equivalent (water storage in the snowpack), as well as lake ice thickness and structure for comparison with microwave radiometer measurements. Researchers have started to use microwave data from satellites for assessing snow water equivalent (SWE). Field tests to investigate the use of microwave sensors indicate that SW...
