Impacts of climate change and permafrost thaw on the Whatì community well: A groundwater vulnerability assessment
Principal Investigator: Wright, Stephanie
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5888. The goal of this project is to assess the vulnerability of the Whatì community’s drinking water supply well to the impacts of climate change (e.g., permafrost thaw, precipitation changes, contaminant mobilization). A groundwater observation well network will be established to help identify changes to groundwater quan...


NWT Streams and Rivers of the future: How permafrost thaw and groundwater activation are changing water resources (CIMP226)
Principal Investigator: Wright, Stephanie
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5846. Objective 1 (O1): Assess the spatial and temporal patterns of hydrologic change (groundwater and surface water) in the La Martre River and Trout River catchments. Objective 2 (O2): Identify the drivers, processes, and feedbacks responsible for the hydrologic changes identified in O1 and how they differ between the s...


Influence of Permafrost Continuity on Groundwater Flow and Carbon Fate and Transport
Principal Investigator: Rudolph, David
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5617. Within the Central Mackenzie Valley of the Northwest Territories (NWT), discontinuity and rapid change within the regional permafrost is anticipated to be influencing landscape, hydrology, habitat and ecosystem characteristics along with presenting challenges for the stability of constructed infrastructure. Mapping t...


Coastal hazards, relative sea-level change, and climate impacts on northern coasts and seaways
Principal Investigator: Forbes, Donald L
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001
Summary: The goal of this research is to monitor the coastal response to storms and coastal vulnerability to climate change. The primary objectives of this project are to: 1) map the western Canadian Arctic coastline in terms of its sensitivity to coastal erosion...


Permafrost investigations, western arctic Canada
Principal Investigator: Burn, Chris R
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998
Summary: The investigator will measure change in the ground due to uplift, by the growth of a pingo and from side to side by the ground cooling in winter. Air, ground water and lake temperatures will be measured. This information will be used to understand how permafrost is responding to climate variation. Travel to sites is by helicopter and snow machine. At the site the investigators will stay at a cab...


Hydrological modelling for a permafrost site and arctic snow accumulation and melt
Principal Investigator: Woo, Ming-ko
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993
Summary: This on-going study attempts to find out how permafrost affects the groundwater, streamflow and levels of water in wetlands. Measurements such as soil moisture, rainfall, ground and air temperatures, and water level will be taken. This research will help to determine how climatic change affects permafrost and water bodies in the Arctic....
