Gahcho Kué Project – Soils and Terrain Baseline Studies
Principal Investigator: Robertson, Scott
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: The overall objective of this project is to collect additional Soil and Terrain information for use in the environmental assessment of the De Beers Canada Inc. proposed Gahcho Kué Project. De Beers Canada Inc. has been conducting Soils and Terrain baseline studies for a number of years in the area of the Gahcho Kué Project. The studies planned for this year will add to the Terrain and Soils ba...


Regional Terrain Hazards Mapping
Principal Investigator: Couture, Réjean
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005
Summary: The goal of this project is to compile updated baseline information/knowledge on the types, regional distribution, and controls (e.g. forests fires, climate change) of landslides. The main objectives of the field reconnaissance at landslide sites are six-fold: 1) to validate previous data collected through air photo interpretation and remote sensing techniques; 2) to carry out detailed mapping at ...


Mapping and Modeling Carbon Flux in Northern Canada Related to Land Use Change
Principal Investigator: Chen, Wenjun
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004
Summary: The research team is working to become familiar with the impact of human disturbances on vegetation in northern Canada for their carbon studies. The objective of this study is to collect vegetation and biophysical data for use as verification of ground cover type and disturbance for use in satellite imagery classification and biomass and soil sampling for carbon modeling along the Ingraham Trail....


Spatial variability of active-layer thickness and surface characteristics
Principal Investigator: Nguyen, Thai-Nguyen
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005
Summary: The objective of this research is to determine the spatial correlation between surface properties and active-layer thickness. Six sites have been established across the treeline, between Inuvik and Swimming Point. At each site, shallow temperature cables are installed in the active-layer and near-surface permafrost and air temperatures are monitored by data logger. During this project, the res...


Taltson River Hydro Power Supply to Snap Lake Diamond Mine Environmental Baseline Studies
Principal Investigator: Sharpe, Seßn
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: This work will assess the possible effects of expanding the Taltson hydroelectric generation facilities to supply power to the Snap Lake Diamond Mine. The existing facilities are on the Taltson River at Twin Gorges, located approximately 60 km NE of Fort...


Near-surface ground ice in sediments of the Mackenzie Delta region, NWT
Principal Investigator: Kokelj, Steven V
Licensed Year(s): 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 2000 1999
Summary: This project investigates the the distribution and amount of near-surface ice in sediments of the Mackenzie delta area near Inuvik. Sites near Inuvik will be accessed via road and sampled using a hand held power auger. Soil cores will be removed and taken to the Inuvik Research Center for subsequent examination. The thickness of permafrost will be measured by near-surface water jet drilling which ...


Phase 2 Environmental Baseline Program: Aber/Kennecot Southwest Diavik Property, Lac de Gras, NWT
Principal Investigator: Bryant, Wayne
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1995
Summary: The researchers will be involved in a mult-disciplined, integrated and focused series of investigation regarding water quality, hydrology and climatology, fisheries, aquatic, wildlife, vegetation, soils and terrain, and heritage resources. Taken with complementary socio-economic, traditional knowledge and environmental management investigations, this data will be used to prepare an environmental ...
