This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5890.
Through this project my research group will address the following objectives: What is the net effect of permafrost thawing induced biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks to the climate system? How do these two types of feedback differ between the sporadic and discontinuous permafrost zones? Is the reported decrease...

2023 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5889.
The objective of the research project is to elucidate the change in the atmospheric carbon balance of thawing permafrost regions post-disturbance.The impact of disturbances such as fire, especially in conjunction with permafrost thaw, are still not well understood. By installing a new 15-m eddy covariance tower at Sc...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5828.
This project will investigate the permafrost systems that underlie problematic localities along the Dempster Highway. It will link, through geochemical and hydrogeological measurements, the permafrost, groundwater, surface water, soil and dust processes to generate a more wholistic perspective of the permafrost, wate...

2023 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5841.
The overall objective of this project is to determine the impact of changing land-ocean matter fluxes and coastal subsea permafrost on nearshore ecosystems and biodiversity in the Beaufort Sea. To reveal the trajectory of coastal habitats, it is critical to
(1) determine how fluvial and coastal fluxes from the land...
