Principal Investigator: Johnson, Noah
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5874. The objective of the study is to collect environmental data surrounding the Giant Mine to serve as a baseline, before remediation efforts, to move the treated water discharge to Yellowknife Bay. These activities are also to assure the community that the Giant Mine Remediation efforts are improving environmental quali...

Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5714. The primary objective of Arctic PASSION is to co-create and implement a coherent, integrated Arctic observing system. The Western Arctic Research Centre will manage one of 10 sites located across the circumpolar Arctic. Each site will measure the same parameters at the same frequency using the same methodology. This ...

Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5532. The objective of the research project is to elucidate the change in the atmospheric carbon balance of thawing permafrost regions post-disturbance. The impact of disturbances such as fire, especially in conjunction with permafrost thaw, are still not well understood. By installing a new 15-m eddy covariance tower at Sc...

Licensed Year(s): 2021 2020 2019 2018
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5023. The goals for this expedition are to test new equipment for characterizing the energy fluxes from and around thermokarst slumps and to establish a baseline for future subsidence measurements. Additionally, lake and atmospheric methane concentrations in relation to thermokarst slumps will be quantified. The research...

Principal Investigator: Horobin, Ric
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5035. The objective of this field program is to collect additional data including soil, surface water, groundwater, sediment and benthic invertebrate samples to analyze for potential contaminants. This information will help develop a human health and ecological risk assessment, and a remedial action plan to reclaim the site...
