Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5210. The purpose of this project is to determine changes in todzi harvesting pressure following construction of the road. The research team will determine sustainable levels of harvest for boreal caribou in the North Slave area before the road is built; Monitor harvesting pressure on boreal caribou and moose after the road...

Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5130. The first objective of this research is to understand how ground temperatures vary within the highway embankment between the border on the Dempster Highway and the north end of the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway. The road surface varies little between these points and it is cleared in winter, so conditions should be un...

Principal Investigator: Chiperzak, Doug
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5060. The goal is to collect baseline fish, fish habitat and hydrotechnical data for selected watercourses along the proposed Mackenzie Valley Highway to support engineering design and the regulatory process. Fish habitat will be assessed along 100 m reaches upstream and downstream of each potential watercourse crossing....

Principal Investigator: Chiperzak, Doug
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4822. The goal is to collect baseline fish and fish habitat data for two sections of the proposed Mackenzie Valley Highway; Prohibition Creek Access Road (PCAR) and Mount Gadet Access Road (MGAR). Data collected will support engineering design and regulatory process to construct these segments of the highway. A desktop s...

Principal Investigator: Rogers, Marty W
Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: The goal of this project are to safely collect high-resolution images utilizing remotely piloted aircraft, producing image products to allow for a better understanding of the road infrastructure and nearby habitat, and of the Beluga Whale population in the near-shore Tarium Niryutait Marine Protected Area. Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), based at Inuvik Airport will be used to fly abo...

Principal Investigator: Latta, Alex
Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: The objectives are to collect Traditional Knowledge (TK) and fish harvest data from each community, and ensure that each community is involved in interpreting the data collected. TK will be sought in relation to the historical use of the fishery resource, observed changes in fish abundance and health over time, observed changes in the river associated with the construction of the ferry landings, a...

Principal Investigator: Ford, James D
Licensed Year(s): 2017
Summary: This proposed project will develop critical scientific methods for quantifying transportation vulnerabilities and adaptation opportunities, filling knowledge gaps about transportation vulnerabilities and opportunities for action. Designing and implementing an Arctic vulnerability and adaptation index for transportation systems and infrastructure is crucial to improving the understanding of how ...
