Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4738. The objective of this project is to collect sufficient information to determine the feasibility of construction of an all weather access road, creek crossing and pads in the Study Area. The results of the 2018 ATCO studies show that the development of the area can be done in a manner that would protect the environment...

Summary: The objective of this wind monitoring proposal is to measure the wind energy potential at the Inuvik High Point (approximately 6 km northeast of the Inuvik airport) for two years. This is part of an alternative energy study for the Inuvik area. Wind data will be collected using instruments on a wind tower that will be installed at the site. Two full years of wind measurements and an economic analy...

Summary: The objective of this research project is to measure solar irradiance levels in Jean Marie River and Ft. Providence, in order to support pre-feasibility studies on the use of solar energy in those communities. During the summer the project engineer will travel to Jean Marie River and Fort Providence to start monitoring solar irradiance in the two communities. The monitoring units will likely be...

Summary: The proposed field research programs will allow the proponent to determine the technical and environmental feasibility and economic viability of a subsea natural gas pipeline from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to the Mackenzie Delta area of Canada. Five field research projects are proposed to provide information needed to make the necessary evaluations. The research is designed to: (1) Assess the feasibil...

Principal Investigator: Kovalench, Shelly Ann
Licensed Year(s): 1999
Summary: The objective of this project is to conduct a feasibility study on the use of geographic inforamtion systems (GIS) as tools for long-term monitoring of the Reindeer herd in the Beaufort-delta region. This project will focus on research based in Inuvik using GIS equipment and library resources. Logistical requirements may potentially require travel to Richards Island, Atkinson Point and Husky La...

Principal Investigator: Jackson, Mame
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: We plan to speak with hamlet leaders and others about the possibility of working together to organize a university-level course for about 20 students on Inuit culture and art which might be held in Igloolik at a mutually-agreeable time in the next year or two. The course would be jointly sponsored by Carleton University and DePaul University....

Principal Investigator: Dahlke, Lothar
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: Three crews of two people each will be stationed at the commercial fishing camps to obtain biological and catch effort data from the fisherman. A supervisor will oversee the project in the field and set some experimental nets in the vicinity of the commercial nets at one of the camps. A minimum of 200 whitefish samples will be obtained from the fishermen's catch....
