Résumé: The Travaillant Lake system is one of the most culturally and traditionally important areas within the Gwich'in Settlement Area (GSA). In recent years, in light of proposed industrial development and exploration that may threaten the aquatic environment within this system, Travaillant Lake has become a focus of fisheries-related studies that have attempted to collect information on biological char...

Résumé: The objective of the program is to collect information regarding the surficial geology of the Great Bear River at the location of the proposed pipeline watercourse crossing. This information will be used to determine the depth to bedrock as part of the information for a river crossing design, and for use in the design of a proposed horizontal directional drill (HDD) crossing at this location. S...

Résumé: The Geological Survey of Canada maintains a network of active layer and permafrost temperature monitoring sites in the Mackenzie region in order to document the response of permafrost conditions to climate change. Gaps exist in the network in the permafrost zones north of Norman Wells, the Mackenzie Delta region, and on shorelines and coastlines. Enhancement of the network is essential to provide ...

Résumé: The research aims to understand First Nations’ perspectives of large-scale industrial projects, such as the Mackenzie Gas Project. The three objectives of the research project centre on discovering: how people talk about development projects in the public and private spheres; if and how thinking about industrialization in the North varies between different social groups (e.g., by age, employment s...

Résumé: Increased industrial development across the Northwest Territories is creating the necessity to reclaim and revegetate the land during and/or after development. Land management policy recognizes the need to maintain ecosystems, biodiversity, and habitat, and is implementing stringent policies for land use. Northern environments are particularly slow to recover from disturbance because of the short ...

Résumé: The 2006 Traditional Knowledge Studies mark a continuation of Traditional Knowledge work initiated, as part of the Mackenzie Gas Project, with Katlodeeche First Nation in 2005. Local knowledge and technical/scientific research, in combination with a synthesis of existing technical information, is being used to develop a suitable knowledge base for planning, assessment of impacts and development of...

Résumé: Sand, gravel and crushed stone are valuable geological resources, collectively known as aggregates. They are essential bed, foundation and building materials. The presence of massive ice in aggregate deposits results in a series of resource management problems, particularly for the oil industry and its contractors who rely on local granular deposits as building material. From an environmental pers...

Résumé: The objective of the field program is to document baseline conditions within the study area to be used for a water licence and land use application towards development of a lead and zinc mine adjacent to the old Pine Point property. This includes completing Ecosystem Classification, Surface Water Quality Sampling, Fish Habitat Assessments, and a Wildlife Utilization and Diversity Study. Field s...

Résumé: The 2005 terrestrial studies include vegetation mapping, rare plant surveys, rare plant mitigation planning, timber cruising, and landform, soil and permafrost investigations. All of the studies will be conducted by three- or four-person crews supported by helicopter. A local assistant will be included as part of each terrestrial survey team to assist in observing and recording data taken at surve...

Résumé: This study is to monitor the environmental impacts of disturbances caused by the Canol Project and to measure the effects on permafrost of climate change. The Canol disturbance studies have been underway since the late 1970's and the permafrost studies since 1990. This is year 15 of a 20-year study. Access during the summer is via the Yukon along the Canol Road through Macmillan Pass. Beyond...
