Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: The research team, including an environmental consultant, a technician, and a member of the local community, will access the site and assess the site conditions. The researchers will access the site via helicopter and will complete a walk around of the site including the site facilities and surrounding area. Should any soil or surface water be identified as a concern, a sample will be obtained and...

Summary: The crew will fly from Yellowknife to the Tundra Ecosystem Research Station camp on Daring Lake from BHP (Ekati Mine) by helicopter. The research team itinerary consists of: (1) setting up the camp; (2) sampling all of the major streams flowing into Daring Lake for chemistry and instantaneous flow; (3) walking through several basins to decide on an intensive sampling site; and (4) installing dri...

Principal Investigator: CLARK, Ian D.
Licensed Year(s): 1997
Summary: The objectives of this research are to study the chemistry of the groundwaters that flow into the Little Fish River near the Cache Creek overwintering hole. The role of carbonate rocks is important as there is a lot of subsurface flow in this rock type. The presence of the aufeis (winter icing) on Cache Creek is a sign of groundwater flow, and is one of the reasons that this site was chosen. We...

Principal Investigator: Edwards, Thomas W.D.
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The proposed research is part of an ongoing program of hydrological studies in the north aimed at improving our understanding of how water cycles through natural drainage systems. This year, I will examine water evaporation on lakes and ponds that are located on mine sites: results from this research will aid in the design of better tailings impoundments containing mine wastes/contaminants....
