Desperation Pond and Carrie Pond Fish Transfer Program
chercheur principal: Armstrong, Allison
Année(s) de permis: 2001
Résumé: The capture and processing of fishes, including biological data collection, sample analysis, and recording of field data are the responsibility of BHP based on DFO approved methods described herein. The Project Biologist will be at site during crew training, to participate in the collection of data and to ensure the quality of data. The Project Biologist will also be responsible for collating an...


Coastal Impacts of Climate Change
chercheur principal: Solomon, Steve
Année(s) de permis: 2000 1999 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992
Résumé: The primary objectives of the project are to map the coastline of the Canadian Beaufort Sea in terms of its sensitivity to coastal erosion and monitor changes in the coastline, and to collect information on the morphology of the coast and the sediments which compose it for use in developing and calibrating predictive models of coastal change. In order to achieve these objectives previously proven ...


Paleo-hydrology in the Arctic
chercheur principal: CLARK, Ian D.
Année(s) de permis: 2000 1999
Résumé: The objective of this project is to observe and collect rock specimens from limestone outcrop sites. These samples will be used to interpret groundwater flow systems that occurred in the Arctic in the past when the climate was much warmer. Several sites will be visited for the purpose of examining and collecting rock specimens along the Dempster highway south of Inuvik. Two day trips west of Akla...


Radar Observations in Support of the Mackenzie GEWEK Study (MAGS)
chercheur principal: Haykin, Simon
Année(s) de permis: 1999 1998
Résumé: The Mackenzie GEWEX Study (MAGS) is the Canadian component of the international effort called the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX), in support of a World Climate Research Programme to observe, understand, and model the hydrological cycle and energy fluxes in the atmosphere, at land surface, and in the upper oceans. A transportable radar system, called the IPIX radar, which was set ...


Hydrologic investigation of a Canadian Shield basin
chercheur principal: Spence, Chris
Année(s) de permis: 2001 1999 1998
Résumé: Lower Carp Lake is part of the Yellowknife River and is roughly 22km in size. A number of remote meteorological and hydrometric data collection sites will be constructed around the lake. An island on the lake will be used as a base camp for the research activities. This island is roughly circular rising up to 50m from the lakeshore. A portion of the island is dominated by sandy glacial deposits. M...


Sustainability of Arctic Communities
chercheur principal: Kruse, Jack
Année(s) de permis: 1999
Résumé: Part A: "Possible Futures Model". Researchers have constructed models which project how force of change will affect communities in the future, based on local knowledge and research findings of previous studies. In 1998-99, the "Possible Futures Model" will be presented to people of Fort McPherson and Aklavik. The model allows users to consider the effects of changes that may occur in the next 40 ...


Airborne observations of surface-atmosphere energy exchange over the Mackenzie basin.
chercheur principal: Schuepp, Peter
Année(s) de permis: 1999
Résumé: The Twin Otter, operated by the National Research Council of Canada, will be stationed at the Inuvik Airport (most likely in the RCMP hanger). Support equipment for the aircraft and for data analysis will be shipped to Inuvik and installed at the hanger and in the Finto Hotel. No installation or infrastructure is required elsewhere in the field. Data collected from the aircraft (operating at 60m)...


Reconstruction of Forest Structure and function in Canadian Taiga
chercheur principal: Osawa, Akira
Année(s) de permis: 1998 1997
Résumé: The research team will consist of forest ecologists. We plan to study a few jack pine stands by taking stem samples for examination of forest growth that occurred in the past. A possible effect of climate change on the growth of forests are being examined. Several trees were cut and were analyzed last year. This summer several additional stems will be sampled. When a tree is cut, we try not to dis...


Development of a Differential Frost Heave Model: Application to Patterned Ground Formation.
chercheur principal: Peterson, Rorik
Année(s) de permis: 1998
Résumé: The objective of this work is to make physical measurements of the size, shape and distribution of earth hummocks in areas where the 1968 forest fire did not occur. We are developing a mathematical model which predicts hummock size and activity based on soil properties and environmental conditions. Because hummock activity appears to be very sensitive to environmental changes, our model, coupled ...


A Fire History, Fuel and Ecological Assessments of the Fort Smith, NWT area
chercheur principal: Brungs Simard, Hanita
Année(s) de permis: 1996
Résumé: The study area will be sampled on a 2x2 km grid as the vegetation type of the area in question is predominantly jack pine. At each 2 km interval 3 procedures are done: 1) plant identification and % cover of each species in approx. 100 m. sq., 2) tally of the fuels (logs, twigs, branches) that fall along a triangular transect, 3) discs are removed from one large unscarred tree and one scarred tree...
