Organic carbon cycle in the Mackenzie delta lakes
Principal Investigator: Lattaud, Julie
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5187. The project will study the dynamics of deltaic lake ecosystems over the past century through the application of recently developed molecular (lipid biomarker) and isotopic (radiocarbon and stable isotopes) proxies to lake sedimentary records. This will unravel the impact of old carbon input into aquatic ecosystems. Ra...


Meltwater drainage through the Mackenzie Mountains, Northwest Territories, during the last deglaciation
Principal Investigator: Stoker, Benjamin James
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5163. In this project the research team aim to investigate the meltwater drainage and deglacial history of the Laurentide Ice Sheet from the eastern slopes of the Mackenzie Mountains since the last ice age. The research team will reconstruct the past meltwater flow characteristics (discharge and velocity) through a series o...


East Arm basin targeted bedrock mapping project
Principal Investigator: Canam, Rebecca
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5175. The main research objective of this project is to conduct targeted bedrock mapping and supporting analytical work to improve our understanding of the tectonic framework of the East Arm basin. The research team aims to document the timing of crystallization and metamorphism of the basement rocks onto which the East Arm...


Inuvialuit Energy Security Project – Geotechnical Research Project
Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Alan R
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5217. The objective of the fieldwork is to collect geotechnical and geophysical data to further advance the Inuvialuit Energy Security Project (IESP). The engineering design for the IESP Energy Facility has advanced to the point of identifying two preferred locations for the Energy Facility. Both locations are within the pr...


Permafrost monitoring and collection of baseline terrain information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor, NWT
Principal Investigator: Smith, Sharon S
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5181. The combined temperature and active layer monitoring network extends from Fort Simpson to the Arctic Coast. With monitoring instrumentation already in place through work under previous licenses, the main work of this phase will be data collection. While different parts of the network can be visited at different times ...


Hydrothermal Regime of Riparian Terrain in Continuous Permafrost, Western Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Ensom, Timothy P
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5168. The specific objectives of the project are as follows: 1) Determine the spatial extent, distribution, and timing of winter icing events in streams along the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH) through ground-based and aerial reconnaissance of stream crossings; 2) Identify relations between physical watershed charact...


Understanding the impacts of permafrost thaw on water resources and hydrology in the Dehcho region.
Principal Investigator: Quinton, William L.
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5120. The long-term objective of this research program 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 following ...


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 ...


De Beers Canada Snap Lake Mine Environmental Monitoring 2022
Principal Investigator: Tran, Lisa
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5143. The goal of this project is to collect environmental monitoring of wildlife (incidental observations only), vegetation, air quality, hydrology and aquatics in the Snap Lake study area. Methods used are outlined in the management and monitoring plans (aquatic effects monitoring program, water management plan, wildli...


Metallogeny and critical mineral potential of middle Cretaceous manganiferous, phosphatic ironstones of the Rapid Creek Formation, Yukon
Principal Investigator: Gadd, Michael
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5077. Ironstones are marine biochemical sedimentary rocks with >15 wt.% Fe that commonly occur together with phosphorites. Phosphorites are chemical sedimentary rocks that form in response to coastal upwelling. An exceptionally large accumulation of phosphatic ironstones is located in the Rapid Creek Formation within the no...
