Permafrost thaw slumps, sediment dynamics and ecosystem health of upland tundra lakes within the western Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Droppo, Ian
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4759. The overall objective of this research is to assess the permafrost thaw slump erosion and transport of its sediment by rainfall/runoff to depositional zones within Arctic tundra lakes. To achieve this, we will link a rainfall simulator with an annular flume (to simulate lake currents) located in the Hydro-ecology Moni...

Flux of sediment-associated chemical elements in rivers draining to the Arctic Ocean
Principal Investigator: Bogen, Jim J
Licensed Year(s): 2010
Summary: The objective of this research is to estimate the modern and historical fluxes of sediment- associated chemical elements to the Arctic Ocean and their relationships to natural and man-induced changes in sediment yields and sediment sources and if possible, predict the impact of future climate changes on the fluxes. The study will include sampling of overbank sediments from floodplains and del...

Regional Geochemistry Survey, Mackenzie Mountains NWT
Principal Investigator: Falck, Hendrik
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: The objective of this study is to collect stream silts on first order streams on a regional basis at a density of one sample every 13 Km2 across the target area. Heavy mineral concentrate samples will be collected at a density of one sample every 25 km2. The samples will be dried, labeled and shipped to various laboratories for cataloging and analysis. A team of 2 field workers would use a heli...

Geomorphological and hydrological research on valley formation in Arctic and subarctic environments
Principal Investigator: Schunke, Ekkehard
Licensed Year(s): 2000 1994 1992 1990
Summary: The researcher will measure discharge, run-off velocity, sediment load, dissolved load and microclimate parameters (air and ground temperatures, relative humidity, evaporation, precipitation and radiation) in small valleys of James Creek. They drive to the location in a 3/4 ton truck which is parked in an abandoned quarry near the road. They walk to their data collection sites. The observations...

Overbank sediment patterns on the Mackenzie Delta
Principal Investigator: Pearce, Cheryl M.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The researcher will continue her long-term study on the physical features of the Mackenzie Delta. Hydrocarbon development, water volume and course changes, and climate change could have major effects on the water and sedimentation patterns of the delta. This study will increase knowledge of sedimentation patterns, shoreline erosion and their relationships with vegetation....
