Studies of greenhouse gas release and environmental processes associated with thawing permafrost in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region
Principal Investigator: Morse, Peter D
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6143. The goals of this multi-year-long project are to assess greenhouse gas (methane and carbon dioxide) release from warming permafrost and tundra lakes in the ISR and to study associated carbon dynamics and microbiological processes, including the release of mercury to the environment. The second year (2025) of field...


Investigations of the water cycle and hydrological processes of the subarctic Canadian Shield
Principal Investigator: Spence, Christopher
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5545. The objective of this research is to determine how climate warming and permafrost presence influence the water cycle and water chemistry of Taiga Shield streams. The proposed work will take place within a research basin framework. The proposed watershed, the upper reaches of Baker Creek, is a typical Taiga Shield ...


Impacts of climate change and permafrost thaw on the Whatì community well: A groundwater vulnerability assessment
Principal Investigator: Wright, Stephanie
Licensed Year(s): 2025 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6167. The goal of this project is to assess the vulnerability of the Whatì community’s drinking water supply well to the impacts of climate change (e.g., permafrost thaw, precipitation changes, contaminant mobilization). A groundwater observation well network will be established to help identify changes to groundwater quan...


Using Inuvialuit and Gwich'in observations to monitor environmental change in the Beaufort Delta Region
Principal Investigator: Lantz, Trevor C.
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6148. The core objective of this research is to work with Inuvialuit and Gwich’in experts to document local observations of environmental conditions. Specifically, we will use semi-structured interviews and, where possible, land-based observation to document environmental conditions with photographs and videos georeference...


Hydrological impacts of wildfire in peatland-dominated discontinuous permafrost terrain
Principal Investigator: Quinton, William L.
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6132. The long-term objective of this research programme is to improve the understanding, parameterisation and prediction of water flow and storage processes in peatland-dominated, thawing, discontinuous permafrost. Over the next 5 years, significant progress toward this long term objective will be made through the followi...


Mapping, monitoring and modelling permafrost change in the NWT
Principal Investigator: Kokelj, Steve V
Licensed Year(s): 2025 2024 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6072. The primary objectives of this research are 1) to develop and test new methods of characterizing permafrost and monitoring permafrost landscape change with a focus on the Beaufort Delta, central Mackenzie Valley and North Slave regions; 2) mapping sensitive permafrost terrain across NWT by integrating expert assessm...


The Evolution of Permafrost Conditions in Disturbed Terrain
Principal Investigator: Ensom, Timothy P
Licensed Year(s): 2025 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6123. The response of permafrost to disturbance can be better understood through long-term monitoring at sites of interest. The objectives of this research application are to (1) help connect and engage local partners and interested stakeholders in the monitoring of drilling waste sumps, aggregate quarries, and trails; and...


To what extent will nitrogen limit Canadian boreal forest growth and the terrestrial carbon sink under global change?
Principal Investigator: Kou-Giesbrecht, Sian
Licensed Year(s): 2025 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6084. The overarching objective of this research is to understand the extent to which nutrients will limit forest growth and terrestrial carbon sequestration in Canadian boreal forests and to improve how this is represented in climate change models. These climate change models can then be used to understand the impacts of ...


Fluxes from Land to Ocean: How Coastal Habitats in the Arctic Respond (FLO CHAR)
Principal Investigator: Juhls, Bennet
Licensed Year(s): 2025 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6109. 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...


North Slave Permafrost Study: Characterization and Predicting Discontinuous Permafrost for Climate Change Adaptation
Principal Investigator: O'Neill, H Brendan
Licensed Year(s): 2025
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6071. This activity describes and predicts the occurrence of discontinuous permafrost to assist in planning, development and maintenance of community and industry infrastructure. Changes in climate, and disturbances like wildfire are affecting permafrost distribution, temperatures and geotechnical conditions. Different lan...
