Understanding carbon and water fluxes in the forest-tundra ecotone across scales
Principal Investigator: Sonnentag, Oliver
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5536. The project brings together expertise from historically separated knowledge systems and scientific communities, integrating Indigenous perspectives with atmospheric biogeosciences, ecology, airborne remote sensing, and computer science. The project builds on the collective desire to engage community members in knowled...


The frontline of permafrost thaw: a transect of eddy covariance towers across the southern Taiga Plains to better understand changing regional carbon and water budgets
Principal Investigator: Sonnentag, Oliver
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021 2019 2018 2018 2017 2016 2015
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5535. Through this project my research group will address the following objectives: What is the net effect of permafrost thawing induced biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks to the climate system? How do these two types of feedback differ between the sporadic and discontinuous permafrost zones? Is the reported decrease ...


Regional bedrock mapping of the Paleoproterozoic Hill Island Lake assemblage and underlying basement rocks
Principal Investigator: Canam, Rebecca
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5541. Objectives: To conduct regional bedrock mapping and supporting analytical work to improve our understanding of the tectonic framework of the Hill Island Lake area in the southeastern Northwest Territories. A total of 7 weeks will be spent in the field, from June 28, 2023 until August 15, 2023, in four different c...


Imperial ISR Remote Sumps Investigation 2023
Principal Investigator: Brar, Harjot
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5580. The program is intended to assess the integrity of drilling waste sumps and investigate any other identified areas of potential environmental concern (APECs) that might exist at a site. The data will be used to develop a long-term management strategy for environmental liabilities associated with former drilling sites ...


South central Slave craton critical minerals bedrock mapping
Principal Investigator: Knox, Bernadette
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5525. The objective of this work is to update and increase the understanding of the geological history of this area of the north-central Slave craton, Northwest Territories. This work will be conducted mostly on foot with access along the water provided by canoe and zodiac boat. The research team will be walking the lan...


The Changing Role of Agriculture in Subarctic Food Systems
Principal Investigator: Price, Mindy Jewell
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5638. To conduct archival research and interviews on of the history of agriculture in the several communities in the NWT; to understand the social, political, and economic implications of increased agriculture development in the region; to support individuals and communities in gardening and agriculture; to understand how ...


Rapid Creek Formation
Principal Investigator: Gadd, Michael
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5577. The objective of this project is to better understand the physical, chemical, and biological controls of the Rapid Creek Formation by collecting and analyzing samples (through fieldwork) and developing a new sequence stratigraphic framework for the purpose of uncovering its potential and enabling the identification of...


Permafrost Integrity and Remediation Potential of Drilling Waste Sumps in the Central Mackenzie Valley, NWT
Principal Investigator: Froese, Duane G
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5544. This proposed research will build on the previous years’ studies completed in the Mackenzie River valley by researchers at the Permafrost Archives Laboratory at the University of Alberta. The objective of fieldwork being completed in 2023 are as follows: 1) to evaluate the integrity and containment of contaminants of ...


Scotty Creek 2.0: how interaction between rapidly thawing permafrost and wildfire affect peatland complex trace gas exchanges
Principal Investigator: Sonnentag, Oliver
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5532. The objective of the research project is to elucidate the change in the atmospheric carbon balance of thawing permafrost regions post-disturbance. The impact of disturbances such as fire, especially in conjunction with permafrost thaw, are still not well understood. By installing a new 15-m eddy covariance tower at Sc...


NWT Streams and Rivers of the future: How permafrost thaw and groundwater activation are changing water resources (CIMP226)
Principal Investigator: Wright, Stephanie
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5522. The purpose of this study has four objectives: 1) Assess the spatial and temporal patterns of hydrologic change (groundwater and surface water) in the La Martre River and Trout River catchments (O1); 2) Identify the drivers, processes, and feedbacks responsible for the hydrologic changes identified in O1 and how they ...
