2023 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5924.
The ultimate aim of this research is to transform understanding of how greenhouse gas emissions from rivers will impact the future trajectory of atmospheric CO2 and CH4 concentrations. Two key research objectives have been identified to address major research gaps in this carbon flux:
Objective 1: Conduct river-bo...

20222021 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5500.
The goals of this multi-year-long project are to assess greenhouse gas (methane and carbon dioxide) release from warming permafrost and tundra lakes in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) and to study associated carbon dynamics and microbiological processes, including the release of mercury to the environment.

Summary:
The field work in Trail Valley Creek and Inuvik aims to study: 1) how catchment characteristics, such as vegetation and soil properties, control the amount and quality of aquatic dissolved organic matter (DOM) and its microbial degradability, and 2) how these factors further regulate greenhouse gas fluxes (carbon dioxide CO2, methane CH4, nitrous oxide N2O) from Arctic lakes.
At the Dempster hi...

Summary:
The objective of this campaign will be to measure the emission/uptake of methane and carbon dioxide at Fish Island in the outer Mackenzie Delta over a full growing season. This data will be used to determine the carbon balance of the island, and estimate the carbon balance of the land surfaces in the outer Mackenzie Delta. Additionally, the research team will investigate factors influencing the ex...

201520142013 Summary:
This study will examine the effects of permafrost and flooding on the ecological structure and carbon exchange of contrasting lakes in the Mackenzie River Delta. Permafrost thaw in lake catchments may cause increased transport of organic carbon and dissolved nutrients to lakes with effects on the hydrology and water chemistry of lake environments. Patterned ground marked by ice-wedge polygons is f...

1998 Summary:
Field activities for this project will be covered under various permits being applied for the engineering operations. The Mallik site will be accessed by ice roads from Inuvik. The Mallik wells will be drilled by the Akita 15 rig (local northern company). We expect up to 60 scientists (and 40 operations staff) to be on site at the height of the program. Scientists will be housed in facilities of ...
