Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5033. The objective/purpose of this work is to address questions raised by various parties during the Inuvialuit Energy Security Project (IESC). The methods or activities to be undertaken for each of the field study components are as follows: 1. Archaeological Impact Assessment of one (1) area less than 500 sq metres - ...

Principal Investigator: Stepney, Jessica
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5051. This project will collect additional environmental and geotechnical samples to complete the remedial design. The former Stark Lake Uranium Exploration site has undergone multiple investigations over the years, and a data gap analysis has indicated that there is additional information required to complete the remedial ...

Principal Investigator: Pastor, Ada
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5034. The main aim of Nitrofresh is to assess the nitrogen (N) sources for streams and the linkages between terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems across different regions with continuous permafrost in High Arctic. In particular, the research team have three objectives: 1) to quantify and characterize N pools along the ripar...

Principal Investigator: Boa-Antwi, Kofi
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5016. The goal of this project is to determine whether dust generated from mining activities is causing a measurable change in dust deposition to and/or metals uptake in lichen closer to and further from the mine. If a significant difference in uptake is noted closer to versus further from the mine, a health risk assessment...

Principal Investigator: Abiven, Samuel
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4956. The objective of this project are to measure the age and stock of organic carbon derived from wildfires (fire-derived carbon) in the Mackenzie River region and examine long- and short-term processes controlling the size and distribution of fire-derived carbon stocks in soils. The research team will measure fire-der...

Principal Investigator: Murton, Julian B
Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: The objective of the fieldwork is to collect soil samples from the active layer and near-surface permafrost. Twelve samples will be collected from coastal bluffs at Crumbling Point, and six samples from river banks beside East Channel. Soil profiles 1-2 m deep and naturally exposed by coastal, lake or river erosion will be cleared of slumped soil by spade, and described and recorded. At each si...

Principal Investigator: Wright, Greg T
Licensed Year(s): 2018
Summary: The objective of this project is to identify for closures sites with no unacceptable risks and to develop an action plan for additional work for any sites that cannot be closed. Twenty-two sites will be visited to collect soil, surface water (where available) and vegetation samples to determine levels of previously identified contaminants of concern. The work plan for each site involves soil, s...

Principal Investigator: Berg, Aaron A
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017 2016
Summary: This research has two main objectives: 1) to monitor the spatial variability of soil moisture at the scale of a Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) 36km pixel centered around the Trail Valley Creek (TVC) watershed; and, 2) to evaluate the current soil moisture algorithms and products currently utilized by SMAP. To achieve the first objective, the research team will install soil moisture monit...

Principal Investigator: Jakiela, Kevin
Licensed Year(s): 2016
Summary: The objective is to perform soil analysis (for composition) and researching parameters in Geodome on the Northern Farm Training Institute (NFTI) farm such as: air temp, relative humidity, light intensity, albedo, soil moisture/saturation and temperature. This analysis will help NFTI to figure out optimal growing conditions inside the greenhouse to optimize crop growth and yields. The research team...
