Principal Investigator: Pacholski, Laura J
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4671. The main objectives of the field work for 2020 will be: 1) to determine if the Ekati Diamond Mine is having an effect on the surrounding aquatic environment, wildlife, and air quality; and 2) to provide baseline data for areas where mine development may occur in the future. In winter, water samples will be collect...

Licensed Year(s): 2020 2019 2018 2017
Summary: The goal of this thesis is to characterize the hydrology of an alpine valley's landscape Types (LTs) and how they affect storage and runoff responses to precipitation through the following four research objectives: 1) a physical description of LTs composing an alpine study catchment that are expected to exhibit distinct hydrological responses to precipitation inputs; 2) a physical description of w...

Principal Investigator: Kasook, Davonna C
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017
Summary: The objective is to compare differences in snow depth, density and morphology of a heavily forested site and a tundra site. The Principal Investigator (PI) will study the effect landscape (forest vs. tundra) has on seasonal snow pack evolution and physical properties (density, temperature, snow grain morphology, and stratigraphy) of the snowpack. These results will be compared to historical data (...

Summary: The objective is to describe the aquatic environment in the Yellowknife River between Bluefish Lake and Prosperous Lake as per the Fisheries Authorization and the Water Licence. This may include investigating aquatic vegetation, water quality and quantity, benthic invertebrates, fish and substrate. The results will be used to determine the most suitable means of fish habitat compensation or produc...

Principal Investigator: Berg, Aaron A
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017 2016
Summary: The main objectives of this research are to: 1. monitor the spatial variability of soil moisture at approximately a 10km resolution in the region of Trail Valley Creek (TVC); and, 2. to test the soil moisture retrieval algorithms in high organic soils through both satellite based measurements and with the use of a ground based radiometer. To achieve the first objective, the research team will...

Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014
Summary: Follow-up on exploration activity associated with MVLWB land use permit MV2014C0005 on Terrax Minerals Inc. City of Yellowknife Gold Project. Work would include initial environmental baseline work, and expansion of research programs to establish sufficient study for possible future Environmental Impact Assessment of potential mine development if exploration activities are successful. Work will ...

Principal Investigator: Tsui, Olivier
Licensed Year(s): 2014
Summary: The objective of the winter field survey is to determine and record lakes where ice has frozen to the bottom and areas where floating ice is present. Along with obtaining this information, snow depth, ice thickness, ice type, photos, and local weather conditions will be recorded. The objective of the summer field work is to observe broad wetland types and the extent and presence of submerged aquat...
