Quantification of carbon fluxes and ecosystem characteristics in permafrost regions with a special focus on the impact of degradation processes
Principal Investigator: Goeckede, Mathias
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5971. As part of the ERC-synergy project Q-Arctic, we plan to investigate biogeochemical and biogeophysical processes along transects following landscape gradients, and study carbon cycle processes within small to medium-sized lakes including their watersheds. Gradients on land include natural variability within heterogen...

Three-Dimensional multi-methodological Investigation of Retrogressive Thaw Slumps in the Mackenzie Delta region (3DIRTS)
Principal Investigator: Kunz, Julius
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5655. This project aims to investigate the three-dimensional subsurface structures in the vicinity of active retrogressive thaw slumps and their relationship to spatio-temporal slump-development. The number and activity of retrogressive thaw slumps have increased during the last decades due to climatic, hydrologic and ther...

Permafrost and ground hazard mapping between Norman Wells and Wrigley along the Mackenzie Valley winter road using airborne geophysics
Principal Investigator: Froese, Duane G
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5160. The research team will use airborne geophysics (helicopter-based surveys) flying the central Mackenzie Valley corridor along the existing winter road to map permafrost across different landforms and terrain types. The objectives of this study are to: 1) Fly multiple lines of airborne electromagnetic geophysical data ...

DEPTHAW
Principal Investigator: Overduin, Pier Paul
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5561. Through ERT and PS methods, the extent and depth will be mapped to the top of ice-bearing permafrost (IBP) offshore of Tuktoyaktuk Island. On land, ERT surveys will also reveal information on permafrost characteristics like ice content, but offshore, tools can only reliably map the thickness of the unfrozen body (tali...

Airborne Electromagmetic Survey to Map Permafrost in the Central Mackenzie Valley
Principal Investigator: Rudolph, David
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5240. Within the Central Mackenzie Valley of the Northwest Territories (NWT), discontinuity and rapid change within the regional permafrost is anticipated to be influencing landscape, habitat and ecosystem characteristics along with presenting challenges for the stability of constructed infrastructure. Mapping the nature an...

Whati Permafrost Vulnerability Mapping
Principal Investigator: Bonnaventure , Philip P.
Licensed Year(s): 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4631. The goal of this project is to create a permafrost hazard/vulnerability map of the community of Whati, NT. In addition to the general map, ideal location(s) for future graveyard and residential development will be identified. The three main deliverables outlined in conversations with representatives from Whati ar...

EL462 & EL463 Aggregate and Permafrost Mapping Program
Principal Investigator: Hansen, Ken
Licensed Year(s): 2013 2012
Summary: The objectives of this research is to provide a better understanding of the permafrost under EL 462 and EL 463 and to delineate potential aggregate deposits. Objectives will include mapping: permafrost distribution, massive ice bodies (including wedge ice), depth to massive ice, lower contacts of massive ice, zones of thermokarst, ice rich sediments (thaw sensitive), active layer, and aggregate de...

Determination of near-surface permafrost extent in the Mackenzie Delta
Principal Investigator: Nguyen, Thai-Nguyen
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005
Summary: The climate and numerous field reports indicate that permafrost should be continuous in the Mackenzie Delta. However, the most recent permafrost map in the Atlas of Canada classifies the delta as having discontinuous permafrost. Yet, no extensive fieldwork covering the entire delta has ever been realized. Unfrozen conditions beneath the ground, near shifting channels, have been recognized by vario...
