Summary: The overall objective of this research is to improve the knowledge on lake ice and its effect on food webs/productivity in small Arctic lake systems in order to better predict changes that could occur under changing climate. The research involves the automated ice buoy and instrumented subsurface mooring system for continuous monitoring of weather conditions, lake ice cover (formation, growth o...

Summary: The objectives of this project are: (1) to develop improved understanding of, and ability to predict, snowcover formation and melt, as well as stream discharge in northern regions, and (2) to develop an improved understanding of, and ability to predict, water levels in the lakes and channels of the Mackenzie Delta. These will allow a better understanding of the impact of climate change and/or natu...

Summary: The objective of this study is to determine the water cycle processes acting in lakes and streams that affect the streamflow of Baker Creek and similar streams, and to understand how processes acting over smaller areas influence those that are predominant over larger areas. Existing infrastructure, including 2 climate towers and a hydrometric gauge, will be built upon. Snow surveys will be c...

Summary: Field work for this ongoing project involves taking measure- ments of snow accumulation (from the previous winter) and meltwater accumulation (from the spring) for the White and Baby Glaciers. Changes in the size of the glaciers can provide information about whether the climate is warming. Colour Lake is being investigated because its water is acidic: data will be collected to determine the rea...

Principal Investigator: Miller, Gifford H.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1991 1990 1989 1987
Summary: The Research teams will continue to gather information to understand past glacial activity and sea level change in the eastern Canadian Arctic. They will take core samples from selected lakes and will record environmental change preserved in the lake sediments....
