Assessing the potential for Environmental Sensitivity Index mapping in the Arctic using Synthetic Aperture Radar
Principal Investigator: Duffe, Jason A
Licensed Year(s): 2012 2011 2010
Summary: The objectives of this research project are to: (1) fly oblique helicopter videography along the Beaufort Sea shoreline from the Alaska/Yukon border to the Northwest Territories/Nunavut border; (2) using conventional methods, interpret helicopter videography and create an Environmental Sensitivity Index map. This will consist of a vector shapefile of shoreline types; and (3) using satellite ra...


Climate Change Impacts on Canadian Arctic Tundra Ecosystems: Interdisciplinary and Multi-scale Assessments: Spatial and Temporal Variation
Principal Investigator: Siciliano, Steven D
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007
Summary: Tundra ecosystems are known to be strongly patterned. Understanding how these patterns control carbon and nutrient fluxes is critical to successfully modeling changes in the tundra ecosystems. The hypothesis is that the geospatial relationship between soil carbon and nitrogen cycling with community composition controls ecosystem response to global warming. To answer this, the links between various...


Contaminated Site Environmental Monitoring and Assessment - Indore and Beaverlodge Historic Mining Operations
Principal Investigator: Wiatzka, Gerd M
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006
Summary: Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) has assumed responsibility for the contaminated sites of the Indore and Beaverlodge (Hottah) Mines and is in the process of characterizing the ecological and human health and safety risks associated with the sites in order for remediation strategies to be developed. The work involves manual sampling and measurement with minimal disturbance of site cond...


Ecological and geomorphological investigations in the alpine tundra of the western Mackenzie Mountains
Principal Investigator: Kershaw, G. Peter
Licensed Year(s): 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993
Summary: Since 1974, the permafrost landforms in this area have been studied. Investigations have included the collection of wind and soil temperatures, wind speed and precipitation levels. This information will increase our knowledge about how permafrost affects the shaping of the land. In addition, information will be collected on how vegetation responds to human activities as a result of the Canol Pr...


Arctic timberline ecology
Principal Investigator: Broll, Gabriele
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: As part of his trip to Inuvik with the International Tour of Permafrost Affected Soils, the researcher will record information about the ecology (including local climate conditions, soil conditions and plant communities) of the timberline at selected sites visited during the Tour. These sites are located along the Dempster Highway near Inuvik....


International Cryosol Tour
Principal Investigator: Tarnocai, C.
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: This tour and the associated meetings will focus on the genesis, classification and management of permafrost soils (Cryosols) and the possible effect of climate change on these soils....


Bluenose Lake Natural Resources Survey
Principal Investigator: Scotter, George
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and team will carry out this survey at the request of the community of Paulatuk. They will summarize the existing knowledge of the natural resources of the Bluenose Lake Region. A total of about 20 stops will be made to examine the vegetation, soil, wildlife and physiogeography and to collect plant and soil samples....


Licence #2513
Principal Investigator: Gill, Don
Licensed Year(s): 1979
