Summary: This study will investigate the quality of aquatic sediment and evaluate its potential as an indicator of ecosystem health in the Coppermine River basin. Sediment cores will be collected by boat or float plane at Lac de Gras and Point Lake. The following field measurements will be recorded: water temperature and pH, and sediment colour, texture and pH. In addition, personal interviews will be c...

Summary: The long-term goal of this research is to develop a model of the interacting biogeochemical and hydrologic processes that control the nutrient balance and primary productivity of lakes in the Mackenzie Delta region, and ultimately, a more general model for lakes associated with the flood plains and deltas of major world rivers. Work based at the Inuvik Research Centre will consist of field and lab...

Summary: 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 ...

Summary: In 1999, the Northwest Territories Power Corporation was awarded a 25 year water licence to operate its three hydroelectric plants on the Snare River. Conditions of this water licence included that two studies be done by the Corporation. The first study is an assessment addressing the removal of minimum flow requirements on two of the dams. This study will include a current assessment of fish a...

Summary: For many years the Dogrib have trapped and fished in and around the Marian River. There are concerns that contaminants are entering the river system. some of the concerns include: effects on health from eating fish and effects on health from drinking water. Field collection will take place over 2 days. The team will travel by canoe from Rae. Ten fish will be caught by members of the community fro...

Principal Investigator: Bryant, Wayne
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: The Gazelle environmental baseline study will include specific investigations on water/sediment quality, lake bathymetry, limnology, catchment hydrology, fisheries and fish habitat assessment. Field data collection and observations will take about two to three days. Field staff of 3 will be transported by air to Ekati from Yellowknife. From Ekati, helicopter transport will be used to drop off the...

Principal Investigator: Schryer, Rick P.
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: The objective of these studies is to determine the presence or absence of fish and wildlife in the vicinity of the proposed project area. A literature search for registered archeological sites within the proposed project area is also planned. A literature review will be done to document any existing information on fish populations in the region. A preliminary survey of physical, chemical and biolo...
