Impacts of Permafrost Thaw Slump Extent, Severity and Persistence on Stream Biotic Health
Principal Investigator: Musetta-Lambert, Jordan
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5613. The project with investigate impacts of permafrost slumping on water quality, benthic macroinvertebrate communities, fish communities and ecosystem function by advancing research on thaw slumps within the Stony Creek Watershed. The research team will directly collaborate with the Northwest Territories Geological Surve...


Recent, rapid environmental change in the western Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Thienpont, Joshua
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5573. To understand how landscape changes caused by climate warming are impacting aquatic ecosystems, particularly lakes and streams. These disturbances focus primarily on permafrost thaw, in the form of thaw slumps and landslides. The understanding derived will allow better understanding of how water quality and aquatic ha...


Impacts of permafrost thaw on land cover and downstream water quality
Principal Investigator: Baltzer, Jennifer L
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5568. The primary objective of this project is to link long-term records of ground temperature and permafrost conditions with changes in landcover and water quality of adjacent ponds and lakes. In other words, how thawing permafrost alters terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem properties. Along the Mackenzie Valley corridor...


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 ...


Northern Water Futures Baseline Environmental Monitoring
Principal Investigator: Baltzer, Jennifer L
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2019 2018
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4983. The overall objective is to understand existing and potential impacts of climate change and resource development in the Sahtú region on four key aspects: 1) the landscape, 2) vegetation, 3) water resources, and 4) aquatic ecosystems. Specifically, the team seek to understand: a) terrain instability due to permafrost t...


Long-term perspectives on aquatic ecosystem change with thawing permafrost
Principal Investigator: Korosi, Jennifer B
Licensed Year(s): 2017
Summary: The research team will re-survey 70 lakes originally sampled in 2005/06, to assess how conditions have changed in the intervening decade as thaw slumping has intensified and the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH) was constructed. The team will assess how lake ecosystems responded to past climatic shifts throughout the post-glacial history of these lakes (10,000 years), and use these records to provi...
