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.5521. 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 follo...

Permafrost thaw studies at Sambaa K'e
Principal Investigator: Quinton, William L.
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5125. This project aims to relate the extensive field studies at Scotty Creek (80 km north of Paradise River) to permafrost thaw near the community of Sambaa K'e. A first step toward this is to establish a climate station near the community so that climatic condition can be compared with those at Scotty Creek. The specific ...

Understanding how permafrost thaw is changing the land and water
Principal Investigator: Quinton, William L.
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4726. The specific scientific objectives are to: 1) develop fundamental knowledge of the major ecosystems and estimate the amount of water present. The watershed responses to changes in permafrost and the rate and trajectory of such changes will also be examined; 2) develop and test a new suite of hydrological predictive to...

Impacts of permafrost thaw on hydrology and water resources
Principal Investigator: Quinton, William L.
Licensed Year(s): 2019 2018 2017
Summary: Understanding the ecology and hydrology of ecosystems with thawing permafrost is a major challenge. To meet this, the research team will develop new knowledge on the eco-hydrology of the major ecosystems (i.e. bogs, fens, peat plateaus) needed to develop new science-based tools to predict the future supply for the next 50 years. The specific scientific objectives are: 1) Develop fundamental knowl...

Understanding and predicting the impacts of permafrost thaw on water resources and ecosystems
Principal Investigator: Quinton, William L.
Licensed Year(s): 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2001
Summary: Understanding the integrated eco-hydrological behaviour of ecosystems in the context of thawing permafrost is a major challenge. To meet this, the research team will measure the present surface and near-surface water supplies and their inter-annual variability assuming a condition of no permafrost thaw. The team will also develop new knowledge on the eco-hydrology of the major ecosystems (i.e. bog...

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...
