Capitalizing on long-term experimental manipulations to understand and predict arctic terrestrial ecosystem responses to climate warming
Principal Investigator: Grogan, Paul
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021 2019
Summary: The objectives of this research project are: 1) to determine the biogeochemical and ecological significance of our discovery that mesic tundra plant growth can be co-limited by nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P); 2) to predict the likely impacts of not just climate change, but also declining caribou and other mammalian herbivory, on tundra deciduous and evergreen shrub abundances; and, 3) to evaluate...

Monitoring forest structure and treeline change drivers
Principal Investigator: Kruse, Stefan
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5263. The aim is to monitor vegetation changes in current climate warming for simulating past and future dynamics with an individual-based spatially explicit model. Therefore, the intentions are: 1) assessing stand inventories at diverse bioclimatic and environmental settings by a space-for-time approach; 2) gathering remot...

Effects of permafrost thaw on soil processes and soil-plant interactions
Principal Investigator: Richter, Andreas
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5246. The main goal of the project is to understand which mechanisms are controlling soil nutrient cycling and soil-plant interactions across both permafrost thaw gradients and vegetation types. The research team are mainly interested in nutrient cycling processes and priming, as well as how microbial community composition ...

Ekati Diamond Mine
Principal Investigator: Pacholski, Laura J
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5107. The main objectives of the field work for 2022 will be to determine if the Ekati Diamond Mine is having an effect on the surrounding aquatic environment, wildlife, and air quality, and to provide baseline data for areas where mine development may occur in the future. In winter, water samples will be collected unde...

Principal Investigator: Hille, Erika C
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2021 2020 2019 2018
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5057. The objectives include: 1) Creating a series of maps showing the thaw slump activity along the Beaufort Sea Coast near Tuktoyaktuk; 2) Developing detailed water, vegetation, and ground temperature maps of the study sites using drones; 3) Examining the effects of thaw slumping on the water quality of landscape-level r...

Reclamation Research and Closure Plan for Pine Point
Principal Investigator: Robinson, Cindy
Licensed Year(s): 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4645. In accordance with the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board (MVWLB) Guidelines, the overarching closure goal for former mine sites is to return the site and affected areas to viable, and wherever practicable, self-sustaining ecosystems that are compatible with a healthy environment and with human activities. To meet ...

Understanding the Interactions between Wildfire Disturbance, Landscape Hydrology and Post-Fire Recovery in Boreal-Taiga Ecosystems
Principal Investigator: Bourgeau-Chavez, Laura L.
Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: The overall goal of the research is to improve understanding of the controls and impacts of a changing climate on the vulnerability and resiliency of boreal-taiga ecosystems to wildfire. This is being addressed through field sampling and process-based ecological and hydrological modeling of the 2014-2016 wildfires of southern NWT. To conduct the proposed research, the research team will addres...
