The ecology and paleoecology of benthic macroinvertebrates in the Mackenzie Delta region
Principal Investigator: Quinlan, Roberto
Licensed Year(s): 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013
Summary: This study will examine the effects of permafrost and flooding on the ecological structure and carbon exchange of contrasting lakes in the Mackenzie River Delta. Permafrost thaw in lake catchments may cause increased transport of organic carbon and dissolved nutrients to lakes with effects on the hydrology and water chemistry of lake environments. Patterned ground marked by ice-wedge polygons is f...

The effect of permafrost slumping on carbon delivery from land to water
Principal Investigator: Tank, Suzanne E
Licensed Year(s): 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014
Summary: The objective of this study is to understand how permafrost slumping increases the mobilization of organic carbon from land to water, and the effects of this movement on stream communities. The research team will measure the concentration of stream-water organic carbon upstream and downstream of slump sites. The research team will also examine the fate of this carbon by undertaking incubation expe...

Composition of natural dissolved organic carbon in streams along latitudinal transect
Principal Investigator: Turetsky, Merritt R.
Licensed Year(s): 2011
Summary: The goal of this research project is to measure the concentration and composition of natural dissolved organic carbon in rivers along a latitudinal transect from central Alberta to southern NWT. Data on water quality will be combined with spatial data that describes the drainage basins of the sampled rivers, e.g. ecosystem composition, size, slope, recent fire impact and permafrost conditions. The...
