Principal Investigator: Tipper, Edward
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5269. This project will determine the impact of cation exchange between minerals and surface waters and quantify the release from the exchange pool as fresh water enters the oceans. This will be achieved through careful sampling of suspended sediment and water from regions of fresh to saline waters of the Mackenzie River. ...

Principal Investigator: Chin, Krista
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5328. The objective of this project is to collect water quality data from regionally-representative lakes that can inform resource management decisions on cumulative impacts within the Northwest Territories (NWT). Using a computer program the research team will select 30 lakes within the Daring Lake area based on expect...

Principal Investigator: Galloway, Jennifer
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4705. The Mackenzie River Basin (MRB) is one of the largest cold-water, intact boreal ecosystems in the world and has unique Earth-system’s processes associated with sea ice formation, global circulation of deep ocean currents, carbon storage, and biogeochemical cycling. This unique global resource is also critical for supp...

Principal Investigator: Wright, Greg T
Licensed Year(s): 2018
Summary: The objective of this project is to identify for closures sites with no unacceptable risks and to develop an action plan for additional work for any sites that cannot be closed. Twenty-two sites will be visited to collect soil, surface water (where available) and vegetation samples to determine levels of previously identified contaminants of concern. The work plan for each site involves soil, s...

Principal Investigator: Hamilton, Melissa M
Licensed Year(s): 2013
Summary: The purpose of each Phase I/II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is to determine the current environmental and physical conditions at each site to allow for the potential future development of the appropriate remediation or risk management strategies and costs. This will include the identification and quantification of environmental impacts to all media including soil, sediment, surface water a...

Principal Investigator: Bartlett, Mike
Licensed Year(s): 2012
Summary: The objective of the research project is to monitor the surface water quality in Bosworth Creek. Data from sampling stations established within and downstream of the Site will be compared to upstream reference stations, located beyond the possible influence of the development, and against an appropriate range of regional data indicating natural variability (where available). Stations will be monit...

Principal Investigator: Lennie-Misgeld, Peter
Licensed Year(s): 2011 2010 2009
Summary: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application no. 982. The objective of this research is to characterize the surface water hydrology at the Thor Lake site and vicinity for at least one hydrologic year. The baseline study is being conducted to aid Avalon Ventures in assessing potential environmental effects of its activities and having adequate environmental information to...

Principal Investigator: Kustan, Ed
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: The research team, including an environmental consultant, a technician, and a member of the community, will access the site and assess the site conditions. The field will be accessed from Fort Liard via the barge. The individual sites will be accessed via truck. At the site, researchers will complete a walk around of the site including the site facilities and surrounding area. Should any soil or s...
