Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4613. The objectives of this project is to complete on ice snow depth, ice thickness and composition survey along with collection under ice core water quality information. Sample locations from previous years are located using a handheld GPS. On ice snow depth is measured using a tape measure. An ice auger is used to pen...

Summary: The objective is to describe the aquatic environment in the Yellowknife River between Bluefish Lake and Prosperous Lake as per the Fisheries Authorization and the Water Licence. This may include investigating aquatic vegetation, water quality and quantity, benthic invertebrates, fish and substrate. The results will be used to determine the most suitable means of fish habitat compensation or produc...

Licensed Year(s): 2016
Summary: The objective of this project is to evaluate bryophytes regeneration in Northwest Territories burned peatlands to improve the understanding of the structure of mosses ecosystems. This new knowledge should improve the restoration method of disturbed peatlands where the reintroduction and regeneration mosses are problematic. Several sites will be studied in order to have a range of plant communit...

Summary: This project is to fill gaps in ecological information on a Candidate Protected Area while it makes its way through the NWT Protected Areas Strategy (PAS) process. This information will be used by the working group to make recommendations on final boundary and management planning for the area. The study will be done at the same time as a study on mercury in fish being conducted by the Dehcho F...

Licensed Year(s): 2010 2009
Summary: To determine the effects of low-flow conditions on overwintering fish habitats in target area. This will include water depth and velocity transects, fish sampling and dissolved oxygen level measurements. Sampling efforts will be focused on the habitats associated with the diversion reach of the Project and will also include habitats immediately upstream and downstream. At select locations, ic...

Summary: The central aim of the ArcticNet marine-based research program is to study on a long-term basis how climate induced changes are impacting the marine ecosystem, contaminant transport, biogeochemical fluxes, and exchange processes across the ocean-sea ice-atmosphere interface in the Canadian Arctic Ocean. Ultimately, the knowledge generated from this multi-year program will be integrated into region...

Licensed Year(s): 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008
Summary: This licence is issued for the scientific research application #914. The objective of this research is to provide a baseline study of the hydrology, groundwater, water and sediment quality and aquatic life in and around the Thor Lake area. Hydrology measurements will involve the installation of three continuous stream-flow gauging stations (at the outflow of Thor Lake, and at two of the inf...

Summary: This will be the second year of baseline environmental data collection, collected by Gartner Lee Ltd. on behalf of Anaconda Gold Corp. for the Damoti Gold Project. These studies will build on existing environmental data that was collected previously by various sources. The following tasks are associated with this study: fish and fish habitat assessments, hydrologic assessments and water quality as...
