Climate change impacts on lake ecosystems of the western Canadian Arctic
chercheur principal: Korosi, Jennifer B
Année(s) de permis: 2019
Résumé: The objectives of this research is to: 1) determine if thaw slumping results in the loss of a large-bodied zooplankton species (Daphnia) from lakes; and 2) measure polychlorinated biphenyl concentrations in lake sediments near the Distant Early Warning Line site in Tuktoyaktuk, to assess whether legacy contamination is still evident. The research team will be collecting sediment cores from ...


Surficial Geology Mapping Fort Norman (96C), Blackwater Lake (96B), Mahoney Lake (96F)
chercheur principal: Duk-Rodkin, Alejandra ADR
Année(s) de permis: 2003
Résumé: This project aims to obtain a better understanding of the sensitivity of slopes to disturbance from development, especially in the context of progressive climate warming. It will also identify baseline levels for natural and anthropogenic contaminants,...


Investigation of factors affecting high mercury levels in fish in lakes in the Mackenzie River Basin (2002-2003)
chercheur principal: Evans, Marlene S.
Année(s) de permis: 2003 1998
Résumé: This study is based on earlier research conducted by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans which found that fish in many lakes in the Mackenzie River Basin had high mercury concentrations. This study examines the environment in which the fish live in o...


2002 Baseline Air Quality Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Monitoring Program in the Taglu and Parsons Lake Production Areas
chercheur principal: Povey, Andrew
Année(s) de permis: 2002
Résumé: Imperial Oil Resources, Aboriginal Pipeline Group, Conoco Canada Resources Ltd, Shell Canada Ltd, and ExxonMobil Canada initiated a number of Biophysical Baseline Studies during 2001 as part of a feasibility study for the Mackenzie Gas Project. This pro...


Contaminant deposition measurements in precipitation in the NWT
chercheur principal: Gregor, Dennis J.
Année(s) de permis: 1994 1993
Résumé: There is only limited information on contaminant trends in arctic ecosystems. This long-term study is examining the amounts of contaminants present in arctic ice caps. By taking core samples from ice caps, the researchers are able to measure the levels of contaminants that have been deposited by precipitation over many years. This study will also improve our understanding of the levels of conta...


Current contaminant deposition measurements in precipitation throughout the NWT
chercheur principal: Gregor, Dennis J.
Année(s) de permis: 1993
Résumé: Contaminants are carried in the air to the arctic during the winter when large-scale wind movements bring these contaminants from industrialized locations in North America, Europe and Asia to the north. Snow can collect these compounds from the air and bring them to the ground where they can accumulate. Thus, it is important to study the amount of contaminants in snow to determine the types and ...


Influence of the Slave River on Great Slave Lake
chercheur principal: Evans, Marlene S.
Année(s) de permis: 1992
Résumé: The Researchers will collect a series of sediment and water samples. These will be analyzed for plant nutrients, concentration of microscopic plant cells, bacteria, suspended solids, dissolved oxygen and organic contaminants. Microscopic animals will also be netted. They will determine the abundance and composition of the animals and conduct experiments to measure their feeding rates and fat cont...
