Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5393. The objective of the proposed studies is to implement the approved environmental monitoring and management plans to monitor any potential environmental effects from the mining activities at the Gahcho Kue Mine. The proposed studies will include the collection of air quality, geochemistry, hydrology, water and sedi...


Tectonic studies of the Rae craton and flanking orogenic systems
Principal Investigator: Thiessen, Eric
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5403. This research will be guided by three objectives: 1) determine the largest possible contribution of mantle-derived heat sources; 2) establish a modern structural and tectono-metamorphic framework; and 3) evaluate evidence for mantle-derived heat input. Studies will involve field observations and targeted small-vol...


Tonian–Ediacaran Geobiology of the Mackenzie Mountains, NWT
Principal Investigator: Strauss, Justin Vincent
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5409. This proposal aims to investigate three of the most intriguing questions of the Neoproterozoic Era (1000-541 million years ago, Ma) by performing a field-based examination of sedimentary rocks in the Mackenzie Mountains of Northwest Territories. These questions include: 1) what are the stratigraphic expressions and si...


Watershed-scale geomorphic response to climate change in the Aklavik Range, NWT
Principal Investigator: Strauss, Justin Vincent
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5411. or this latest phase of research, the research team propose to integrate field observations, geochemical techniques, and historical remote sensing analysis to quantify the rates and processes by which sediment is generated from bedrock and transported downslope via hillslope and river processes under a changing climat...


Potential for large lakes to serve as climate refugia for cold-adapted plants
Principal Investigator: Nielsen, Scott
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5407. The objective of this thesis is to quantify the extent of lake-mediated cooling and its effect on shoreline and inland plant species at varying scales. The principal investigator (PI) will establish a series of transects at large lakes in northern regions of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and the Northwest Terr...


Paleomagnetic survey of the Kam Group, Yellowknife, NWT, Canada
Principal Investigator: Gong, Zheng
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5354. The research team aim to conduct a detailed paleomagnetic study of the 2.7-billion-year-old Kam Group at the Giant section, ~ 5 km north of the city of Yellowknife. The intention of the project is to constrain the paleogeographic location of the Slave craton in the Archean and its relationship with other coexisting cr...


Why Did You Stay? An Investigation of Reasons Influencing the Retention of Small School Teaching Principals in the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Field, James Colin
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5022. The purpose of the study is to identify reasons, moments, experiences, and conditions that have led NWT community school teaching principals to stay in their positions in small, remote NWT communities. The proposed study will engage a group of small school, rural and remote teaching principals in the NWT who have rema...


Yellowknife Wetland Delineation Study and Great Slave Lake Monitoring
Principal Investigator: Brown, Jennifer M
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5336. The purpose of the Wetland Delineation Study is to define the flow paths of effluent from the treatment lagoon to Great Slave Lake and thereby inform sampling design of the Great Slave Lake Monitoring Program. The objectives of the Wetland Delineation are varied and, based on available documentation, we understand the...


Investigating the seasonality of subarctic lakes in a changing climate using satellite & field data
Principal Investigator: Kheyrollah Pour, Homa
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5335. This proposed research is directed at understanding the impact of current/future climate warming on subarctic lake ecosystems. The aim is to explore the relationship of seasonal lake ice growth/ablation and water quality across a wide range of lake characteristics (size, volume, productivity, catchment characteristics...
