Principal Investigator: Wright, Stephanie
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5846. Objective 1 (O1): Assess the spatial and temporal patterns of hydrologic change (groundwater and surface water) in the La Martre River and Trout River catchments. Objective 2 (O2): Identify the drivers, processes, and feedbacks responsible for the hydrologic changes identified in O1 and how they differ between the s...

Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5125. This project aims to relate the extensive field studies at Scotty Creek (80 km north of Paradise River) to permafrost thaw near the community of Sambaa K'e. A first step toward this is to establish a climate station near the community so that climatic condition can be compared with those at Scotty Creek. The specific ...

Principal Investigator: Hille, Erika C
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4743. The objective of this project is to compare and contrast the water quality of three watersheds with contrasting climatic and landscape characteristics, with the aim of identifying the climatic factors and landscape features that drive the water quality of streams located along the Dempster and Inuvik-to-Tuktoyaktuk Hi...

Principal Investigator: Quinton, William L.
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4726. The specific scientific objectives are to: 1) develop fundamental knowledge of the major ecosystems and estimate the amount of water present. The watershed responses to changes in permafrost and the rate and trajectory of such changes will also be examined; 2) develop and test a new suite of hydrological predictive to...

Licensed Year(s): 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014
Summary: The objective of this study is to understand how permafrost slumping increases the mobilization of organic carbon from land to water, and the effects of this movement on stream communities. The research team will measure the concentration of stream-water organic carbon upstream and downstream of slump sites. The research team will also examine the fate of this carbon by undertaking incubation expe...

Summary: The overall project objective is to collect information on the Gahcho KuÚ camp area for use in impact assessment and environmental protection planning for a proposed mine development. AMEC Earth and Environmental (AMEC) has been retained to conduct this...

Principal Investigator: Wolfe, Brent BBW
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002
Summary: This ongoing research project will formulate a history of the frequency and magnitude of floods, droughts, and corresponding ecological responses in the Mackenzie Basin Deltas over the past 1000 years. Fieldwork in 2004 will focus on continued sampling a...

Principal Investigator: Lamoureux, Scott F
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: The objective of the research is to supplement and extend instrumental climatological and hydrological records in the NWT using dendrochronology (tree-ring) and varved lake sediment analysis. Transportation to the site will be by charter aircraft from Fo...

Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2004 2003 2002
Summary: The research team proposes to collect information about fish habitat features and use on watercourse crossings located within the tentative pipeline corridor in the Deh Cho Region. All aquatic studies will be conducted by three or four-person crews. Each crew will include a local researcher or community representative. Depending upon accessibility, sites will be accessed by helicopter and an i...
