20222021 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5551.
The overall objective of the research is to eventually determine the environmental chemistry of the elevated metal concentrations, which will in turn determine the environmental risk that these measured concentrations pose (i.e. will answer, at least in part, the questions: do these sites require remediation, and in w...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5337.
The objective is to answer key questions:
1. From the outer SRD (river-water dominated) to the apex of the SRD (runoff dominated), what is the current status of nutrients and contaminants in SRD wetland ecosystems?
2. How do trace elements (e.g., mercury) move through SRD wetland food webs?
3. How does water source...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4544.
The objectives of this research are:
1) To investigate the environmental chemistry of the borrow pits and immediate surrounding areas to determine what, if any, environmental risk do the elevated concentrations represent;
2) To investigate the environmental chemistry of an undisturbed area around the Inuvik to Tukto...

20182017 Summary:
The overarching objectives of this research are two-fold:
1)To investigate watershed and within-lake abiotic processes affecting the recovery of mine-impacted lakes in the Yellowknife area, including storage and release of arsenic from soils, seasonal dynamics of arsenic export in runoff, and fluxes of arsenic to and from lake sediments; and
2) To investigate the toxicological consequences of ...

20162015 Summary:
The research team propose to develop tools to assess risks associated with legacy industrial developments in a northern setting. The team will investigate contaminants from the Giant Mine near Yellowknife Northwest Territories (NT), which operated between 1948 and 2004, producing a legacy of contaminants including arsenic, antimony, hydrocarbons, mercury, and others. This remediation strategy appl...

2015 Summary:
The primary objective of this research program is to determine the environmental and physical conditions of nine sites in the Gordon Lake region.
This research will include the identification and quantification of environmental impacts in soil, sediment, surface water and groundwater. Samples of biota (e.g. Hyalella) may be collected at certain sites during the field program. The potential for...

Summary:
The short term objectives for this project are to:
- Assess permafrost as a possible origin of mercury contamination;
- Measure mercury content in permafrost samples;
- Engage the community to exchange traditional and scientific knowledge to better understand relationships between country food, water quality, and permafrost degradation from a contamination perspective; and
- Use traditional la...
