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...

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...

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...

19991998 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...

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....
