Impacts of Permafrost Thaw Slump Extent, Severity and Persistence on Stream Biotic Health
Principal Investigator: Musetta-Lambert, Jordan
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4985. The objectives of this project are to investigate impacts of permafrost slumping on water quality, benthic macroinvertebrate communities, fish communities and ecosystem function by (a) advancing research on previously studied thaw slumps within the Stony Creek Watershed and include unstudied (for biotic metrics) thaw ...


The cumulative impacts of rapid environmental change in the northwestern NWT: Investigating the impacts of mega-slump disturbances on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems in the lower Peel watershed, NW
Principal Investigator: Lacelle, Denis
Licensed Year(s): 2013 2012
Summary: This is a multidisciplinary project involving communities, governments and academic researchers. The goals are to: 1) inventory and track broad scale changes in landscape disturbances; 2) determine the impacts of natural and anthropogenic disturbances on the physical and chemical characteristics and ecology of streams and rivers; 3) determine disturbance thresholds relevant to the health of stream...


Chronology of thaw flow and geochemistry of associated massive ground ice. Fort McPherson, Northwest Territories.
Principal Investigator: CLARK, Ian D.
Licensed Year(s): 2011 2010
Summary: The main goal of this project is to determine the distribution, nature and origin of thaw flows and the associated massive ground ice bodies in Fort McPherson region, Northwest Territories. This study will use sedimentological analyses and radiocarbon datation to determine the nature and age of sediment in which massive ice is included. Radardsat 2 image from the summer 2009 will be used to eva...
