Summary: The researchers did a number of baseline studies during 2001 through 2004 as part of the Mackenzie Gas Project. These studies are continuing in 2005. Local knowledge and technical/scientific research is being used to design plans, assess impacts, and develop environmental protection plans. The aquatics field crews will consist of two Mackenzie Project Environment Group researchers and a local as...

Summary: The crew will fly from Yellowknife to the Tundra Ecosystem Research Station camp on Daring Lake from BHP (Ekati Mine) by helicopter. The research team itinerary consists of: (1) setting up the camp; (2) sampling all of the major streams flowing into Daring Lake for chemistry and instantaneous flow; (3) walking through several basins to decide on an intensive sampling site; and (4) installing dri...

Summary: The project will look at the effectiveness of created fish habitat within the on-site Panda Diversion Channel. Assessments will include fish use, invertebrate use, stability and function on a seasonal and yearly basis. Assessments will include the collection of fish (all to be released live), macroinvertebrates, the identification of habitat features, substrate assessments, and hydrology and hydra...

Summary: Researchers will evaluate the spatial variability of nutrient chemistry during the snowmelt period within the drainage network of the tundra stream ecosystem. Evaluation of the controls on nutrient chemistry and community metabolism in streams withing the borel forest/tundra ecotone through the measurement of algae and organic matter in the stream. Evaluation of the potential role of Mackenzie De...

Principal Investigator: Smith, Roger F.
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: The researchers will conduct a variety of research activities at the study site. Projects include surveys of insects and plants, monitoring glacier movements, collecting data about the area's rocks and soils, assessing changes in the area's climate and environment (using fossils of microscopic marine organisms, chironomids, as indicators), and investigating radio-wave propagation....

Summary: Project 1: Small samples of lichens will be collected from approximately 20 sites located along the Hood River and analyzed for contaminants. Lichens are good indicators of the types of air-borne contaminants that have been carried north to the arctic since they absorb their nutrients from the air. Project 2: The researcher will examine plant communities along the Hood River in order to study th...

Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The research in Nahanni National Park includes the setting up of programs to monitor water depth and vegetational changes along the river. Changes in water depth influence the ability of navigating the river, especially in areas of rapids, and has implications on the level of expertise required by visitors travelling the river. Monitoring vegetation along the river will provide information about...
