Mapping for Ground Ice along the ITH
Principal Investigator: Alvarez, Alejandro
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5791. The objectives of this study are to (1) evaluate the geologic setting including geochemistry, and dating of sediments to establish a regional history of the area. (2) investigate the geologic setting of multiple buried, massive ice bodies. And (3) develop a geologic and hazards map along the ITH, highlighting feature...


Slave Province Surficial Materials and Permafrost Study
Principal Investigator: Elliott, Barrett R
Licensed Year(s): 2017 2015
Summary: The Northwest Territories Geoscience Office in the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment (ITI) has developed a large collaborative research project to determine the detailed glacial history and permafrost conditions of the central Slave Geological Province. The project goals are to: - stimulate the next round of diamond and metals exploration in the Slave Province - collect permafr...


Biogeochemical variations in Pleistocene and Holocene-age permafrost across various ecological landscapes, western Canadian Arctic.
Principal Investigator: Lacelle, Denis
Licensed Year(s): 2014
Summary: The proposed project is a collaborative work between academic researchers, the NWT Geoscience Office and local communities. The objectives of the project are to: (1) investigate geochemical variations in the uppermost 3-5m of permafrost in the western Canadian Arctic; (2) assess potential geochemical implications of anticipated permafrost thaw on terrestrial and aquatic systems; (3) examine soil c...


Arctic Peatland Carbon and Holocene Warm Climates
Principal Investigator: Beilman, David W
Licensed Year(s): 2013
Summary: The research team seek to understand carbon dynamics during warm climate intervals in the Arctic: the Holocene Thermal Maximum (HTM) the warmest pre-industrial interval ranging in timing from 10 ka (thousands of years before present) with maximum seasonality to 6 ka with reduced seasonality, and the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) at ~1 ka with similar seasonality as today. By studying peat cores f...


The cumulative impacts of rapid environmental change in the northwestern NWT: Investigating the impacts of mega-slump disturbances on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems in the lower Peel watershed, NW
Principal Investigator: Lacelle, Denis
Licensed Year(s): 2013 2012
Summary: This is a multidisciplinary project involving communities, governments and academic researchers. The goals are to : 1) inventory and track broad scale changes in landscape disturbances; 2) determine the impacts of natural and anthropogenic disturbances on the physical and chemical characteristics and ecology of streams and rivers; 3) determine disturbance thresholds relevant to the health of strea...


Integrated Geoscience Studies of the Mackenzie Delta and Nearby Coastal Environments
Principal Investigator: Dallimore, Scott R
Licensed Year(s): 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2004
Summary: This licence was issued for the scientific research licence application number 757. This research will concentrate on characterization of 3 observed gas seeps, identification of additional seeps in the region, and characterization of permafrost conditions, as thinning permafrost and the development of taliks is a hypothesized mechanism for the development of gas discharge pathways. Water and...


Quaternary Geology, South Shore of Great Slave Lake
Principal Investigator: Lemmen, Donald
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researchers will collect small samples of surficial materials for sedimentological, geochemical and paleoecological analysis. They will map, describe and explain the unconsolidated deposits, landforms, permafrost and organic cover and study patterns of glacial dispersal and drift geochemistry....


Enivronmental Studies of the Ice-Bearing Region in Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Fujino, Kazuo
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and field team will conduct a geological survey and topographic traverse survey around the massive ground ice. They will take samples for ecological study and geochemical analysis....
