Investigating the cumulative effects of environmental change and human activity in the Tathlina watershed
Principal Investigator: Laidlaw, Shawn
Licensed Year(s): 2013 2012
Summary: The purpose of this project is to: 1) coordinate monitoring and research efforts in the watershed between the community, government, and universities; 2) understand current aquatic health of the watershed using water quality, macroinvertebrates, aquatic furbearers and fish as indicators of ecosystem health; 3) understand historical environmental change and contaminant loading in the watershed u...

Sensitivities of high-latitude lakes to climatic & development disturbances
Principal Investigator: Prowse, Terry D
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2006 2005
Summary: Melting permafrost can alter soils and surface runoff. The effects of such changes have been modeled but never evaluated experimentally. Arctic lake productivity is not well articulated and sensitivities to disturbance (e.g., climate change, water withdrawal for development use) remain unpredictable. The objective of this study is to develop a hydrologic model for melting permafrost conditions, as...

Paleohydrological and Paleoecological Reconstruction of the Mackenzie Basin Deltas
Principal Investigator: Wolfe, Brent BBW
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002
Summary: This ongoing research project will formulate a history of the frequency and magnitude of floods, droughts, and corresponding ecological responses in the Mackenzie Basin Deltas over the past 1000 years. Fieldwork in 2004 will focus on continued sampling a...

Limnology and Paleoecology of Arctic Lakes
Principal Investigator: Smol, John P
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The research team will sample approximately 20 lakes located within a 100 km radius of Tuktoyaktuk and within the immediate vicinity of Inuvik. At each lake they will analyze the water for major environmental variables and remove some of the lake mud for future analysis of algal remains....
