Summary: The main aim of these weather and air quality studies is to improve the understanding of the processes in the Arctic atmosphere and to use these measurements to improve the performance of regional and global climate models of the Arctic. The aim of the sea ice studies is to obtain a snapshot of ice thickness in a vast region of the Arctic, and to create an inventory of Arctic sea ice volume. Th...

Summary: The objectives of this four day field survey is to inspect the 4 hydrology stations and 1 meteorology station to ensure they are in working order, repair if required, and download site-specific weather and stream flow data from the stations. Equipment at each hydrostation consists of a datalogger (to record) and a pressure transducer (to detect fluid pressure and produce a signal related to the...

Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008
Summary: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application No. 1121. The objectives this research to document the time history of flow in Matthews Creek and site-specific weather data for the Matthews Lake Gold Project. This will be done in three site visits. During the first site visit, researchers will to reinstall creek monitoring instruments, and inspect and download the exist...

Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008
Summary: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application No.1100. The four main objectives of this research are: 1) to conduct observations on Great Bear Lake to measure meteorology, heat fluxes, and physical limnological components; 2) to model the thermal structure of Great Bear Lake under current climate and climate changed conditions; 3) to quantify the variability in the meteor...

Summary: The objective of this research is to determine the water cycle processes acting in lakes and streams that could affect the streamflow response of Baker Creek and similar streams. A second objective is to understand how processes acting over smaller areas influence those that are predominant over larger areas. The proposed work will take place within a research basin framework. The propose...

Summary: The main objectives of the field work for 2009 to 2013 will be to determine if the EKATI mine is having an effect on the surrounding aquatic environment and air quality, and to provide baseline data for areas where mine development may occur in the future. In winter, water samples will be collected under ice using a 5L Niskin (a cylindrical PVC water sampler). During the week of spring freshet,...

Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2006 2005
Summary: The objective of this research is to study the impacts of climate change on boreal and aquatic ecosystems in the Mackenzie Delta region. By doing so, the researchers hope to gain a better understanding of the effects of long-term climate change on these ecosystems. Their study will utilize dendrochronological and paleolimnological methods to examine spruce forests and lake sites situated in the in...

Summary: CONDITION: This licence has been issued subject to the environmental terms and conditions recommended by the Environmental Impact Screening Committee. For copies of these recommendations please contact the EISC.The Circumpolar Flaw Lead (CFL) system study is designed to examine the importance of climate processes in changing the nature of a flaw lead system and the Arctic marine environment in the...

Principal Investigator: Hoos, Rick
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: The objectives of the single site visit in 2007 are as follows: (1) to re-install instruments at the 4 existing hydrostations, so that data will be recorded automatically during the summer season; Tyhee personnel will remove the instruments (a datalogger and pressure transducer for each station location) at the end of the season, before freezeup; (2) download data from the existing weather station...

Summary: Project a: essentially fifth year of research (sixth-year if associated work in 2000 is counted), and seeks to continue heretofore successful investigations into the nature, substance and long-term effects of contact between Copper Inuit and Europeans/Eurocanadians in the 19th and 20th centuries utilizing sociocultural, archaeological, and economic methodologies, b. Project seeks to initiate a col...
