Wetland status, change, and seasonal inundation dynamics for assessing the vulnerability of waterfowl habitat within the ABoVE study domain
Principal Investigator: French, Nancy H
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5205. The main project goal is to characterize changes in waterfowl habitat using remote sensing approaches developed during prior NASA ABoVE research campaigns. The first objective is to create wetland type and surface inundation products (maps) for the ABoVE boreal region. The second objective is to assess the efficacy of...


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): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5279. As part of the European Research Council (ERC)-synergy project Q-Arctic, the research team plan to investigate biogeochemical and biogeophysical processes along transects following landscape gradients. Such gradients include natural variability within heterogeneous permafrost landscapes (e.g. a transect from dry uploa...


Monitoring cumulative effects to water quality: An NWT Pilot Study
Principal Investigator: Chin, Krista
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5328. The objective of this project is to collect water quality data from regionally-representative lakes that can inform resource management decisions on cumulative impacts within the Northwest Territories (NWT). Using a computer program the research team will select 30 lakes within the Daring Lake area based on expect...


CoMet 2.0 Arctic
Principal Investigator: Fix, Andreas
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5211. This project will use aircraft-based instruments using both remote-sensing and in-situ-techniques to carry out measurements of methane and carbon trace gases and tracers related to their emissions. The results will help to better understand the global methane and carbon cycle. This mission makes use of the German r...


Development of a Biological Monitoring Program to Detect Change in Stream Health Along the Dempster–Inuvik–Tuktoyaktuk-Corridor
Principal Investigator: Musetta-Lambert, Jordan
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5323. The purpose of this project is to establish a stream biomonitoring program along the Dempster–Inuvik–Tuktoyaktuk-Corridor to understand the current environmental conditions associated with past and newly developed road infrastructure. The research team will establish a stream biomonitoring program for the Inuvik to Tu...


Tlicho Region Wetland Mapping Project
Principal Investigator: Merchant, Michael A
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5290. This project aims to develop and use computer-based methods to produce wetland maps using satellite imagery; to conduct overhead field surveys to calibrate and validate the accuracy of the produced wetland maps; Produce user friendly documents describing the wetland maps and their wetland classes throughout the Tlicho...


Constraining the timing of key evolutionary events during the Cambrian ‘explosion’
Principal Investigator: Smith, Martin R
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5298. The aim of this research project is to develop new quantitative tools to infer evolutionary processes from the geological record, with a particular focus on the origin of animal ecosystems in the ‘Cambrian explosion’, an event that marked the onset of diverse complex animal life. Through fieldwork in the June Lake ...


Measuring surface displacement using winter SAR
Principal Investigator: Rabus, Bernhard
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5270. The objective of this research is to determine the accuracy of existing physical models of the InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) dry snow signal; and, if the snow signature can be removed to enable accurate measurement of heave from winter refreezing in the active layer. There are currently three res...


NASA Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) Airborne Initiative 2022
Principal Investigator: Miller, Charles E
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5304. The extended ABoVE Study Area includes most of northwestern North America west of Hudson Bay and north and east of the coastal mountain ranges. It encompasses the variability in the key types of ecosystems that are both unique to arctic and boreal regions in North America as well as being representative of the larger ...


Investigating Late Holocene Glacier Fluctuations in Nahanni National Park Reserve, Canada
Principal Investigator: Menounos, Brian p
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5303. The primary objective of this study is to date the formation of end moraines in the Northwest Territories using methods of Terrestrial Cosmogenic Nuclide (TCN) dating to develop a chronology of glacier change in this region. This chronology will be used to assess glacial response to Holocene climate with aims to eluci...
