Undercover Ice Agents
Principal Investigator: Langer, Moritz
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5987. The aim of the citizen science project UndercoverEisAgenten is to study permafrost changes in the Arctic to raise awareness of these environmental changes and strengthen the data basis for science. Students from Moose Kerr school in Aklavik will design their own permafrost change related research questions and work w...


Mechanical and thermal design of embankments built on permafrost
Principal Investigator: Bilodeau, Jean-Pascal
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5914. The main objective is to develop a practical method for the mechanical and thermal design of embankments built on permafrost based on the properties of the active layer and of the permafrost, as well as the loading conditions. An existing thin section of the highway embankment built on permafrost has been instrume...


Investigating the susceptibility of drilling mud sumps to permafrost thaw - ThinIce
Principal Investigator: Langer, Moritz
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5833. This research aims to describe permafrost conditions and assess environmental risk at several drilling waste sumps in the Mackenzie Delta region, NWT. The objectives of this project are: 1) Assess the vulnerability of drilling mud sumps in the Mackenzie Delta region under varying site conditions and different clim...


North Slave Permafrost Study: Characterization and Predicting Discontinuous Permafrost for Climate Change Adaptation
Principal Investigator: Wolfe, Stephen A
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5775. This activity describes and predicts the occurrence of discontinuous permafrost in the northern Great Slave Lake region to assist in planning, development and maintenance of community and industry infrastructure. Changes in climate are affecting permafrost distribution, temperatures and geotechnical conditions. Diffe...


Monitoring the impacts of permafrost thaw on water resources at Scotty Creek, NWT
Principal Investigator: Quinton, William L.
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5781. 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 foll...


Permafrost and ground hazard mapping along the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway using airborne geophysics
Principal Investigator: Froese, Duane G
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5688. The objectives of this research project are to: 1) fly multiple lines of airborne electromagnetic (AEM) geophysical data (between 4 and 6 parallel lines ~100 m apart) between Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk, beginning and ending just outside the communities; 2) using the geophysical and geological data, produce maps of the In...


Studies of nearshore coastal permafrost in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region
Principal Investigator: Dallimore, Scott R
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5059. We wish to study the rate of degradation of nearshore permafrost with interests in the environmental and geohazard implications. The coast of the Beaufort Sea has been experiencing the effects of climate change over the past thirty years with atmospheric warming 2 to 3 times the global average and dramatic changes...


Examining the impacts of climate and environmental change on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems of the Mackenzie region, NWT
Principal Investigator: Pisaric, Michael FJ
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009
Summary: This research will continue the long term objective of documenting and understanding the impacts of recent climate change on northern terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The short term objectives of my research for 2018 are: 1) to investigate the impacts of permafrost degradation and subsequent thaw slumping on freshwater ecosystems; 2) to examine the limnological implications of drained lakes on ...


Using Traditional Knowledge of JMRFN Elders to better understand changes in the boreal caribou habitat.
Principal Investigator: Laurent, Cyrielle C
Licensed Year(s): 2017
Summary: This project aims to demonstrate the cumulative impact of permafrost degradation and forest fire on boreal caribou habitat and how caribou habitat degradation affects Jean Marie River First Nation (JMRFN). To do this the research team will collect and use traditional knowledge (TK), and analyse it in a geographic information system (GIS) with scientific data. The research team expect to locate are...


Food Security and Drinking Water Vulnerability Assessment Related to Permafrost Degradation in the Jean Marie River First Nation
Principal Investigator: Ireland, Margaret
Licensed Year(s): 2013
Summary: The main objective of this one year project is to provide the community with a practical tool for assessing Jean Marie River’s (JMR’s) vulnerability to food security in relation to country foods, as well as the vulnerability of sources of country foods and drinkable water used by the community members out on the land, in the context of climate change. This tool will consist of a mapping of permafr...
