This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5328.
The objective of this project is to collect water quality data from regionally-representative lakes that can inform resource management decisions on cumulative impacts within the Northwest Territories (NWT).
Using a computer program the research team will select 30 lakes within the Daring Lake area based on expect...

2005 Summary:
The aim of this study is to characterize sediment transport processes, including bed scour and fine sediment deposition, in a sub-arctic stream intersected by the proposed Mackenzie Gas Pipeline. The specific objectives of the study are: characterization of surface and sub-surface bed sediment texture for all habitat types; measurement of bed scour depth and transport distance of sediment due to ...

2005 Summary:
Since the 1970s, the oil and gas industry has drilled at least nineteen exploratory wells in the Kendall Island Bird Sanctuary. Observations at associated drilling mud-sumps have been made; however, there remains a paucity of field data describing site conditions. It is also appreciated that construction of the proposed Mackenzie Valley pipeline will stimulate the development of Niglintgak and Tag...

2005 Summary:
The research team will collect data to assess environmental conditions at well sites and sumps abandoned during the 1970s and 1980s, and in nearby undisturbed terrain in the Kendall Island Bird Sanctuary (KIBS). Study site locations include: Taglu D-43, Taglu H-54, Taglu C-42, Niglintgak B-19, Kumak K-16, Kumak E-58 and Kumak J-06. Permafrost investigations will take place in the surrounding terr...

SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT:
This amendment is to include bathymetry work in August 2005 and to start earlier in the fall to monitor fall freezeup. The amendment allows the researchers to address the community's request that the potential effects of man-made features along the river be considered in detail as part of the Hay River Ice Jam Study. The bathymetry work will be done on August 2-6 and 14-28...

Summary:
Boundary expansion processes for Nahanni National Park Reserve have identified the North Karst as an area of considerable interest. This area is significant for its elaborate assemblages of landforms, its individual landforms and its inhibition of the l...

The main study objectives are to: 1) determine the status of permafrost landforms in the study area, and 2) determine long-term recovery after abandonment of the CANOL No. 1 project. Access during the summer is via the Yukon along the Canol Road through Macmillan Pass. Beyond the base camp mountain bikes and foot will be the means of transport. Automated microclimate stations powered by solar ene...
