Dehcho Indigenous Community Based Climate Change Monitoring
chercheur principal: Low, Mike
Année(s) de permis: 2021
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4812. The objective of this project is to increase collection of climate change indicators, while also training Dehcho Guardians to collect the same data independently in the future. This information in addition to the collection of traditional knowledge will show changes to the environment and the data can be used to prote...


Howards Pass Access Road (HPAR) Proposed 2019 Baseline Programs
chercheur principal: Morison, Stephen R
Année(s) de permis: 2019
Résumé: Proposed surface water and sediment quality and quantity programs involves two rounds of field sampling proposed in mid-July to early August and in late September 2019, to capture typical summer stream flows and low stream flow conditions. Each field program may take between eight to ten days. The objectives of the programs are to confirm and update the fluvial geomorphic classification of each st...


Investigating the water quality of runoff from different terrain types
chercheur principal: Hille, Erika C
Année(s) de permis: 2019 2018
Résumé: The objectives are: 1) to examine how the water quality of streams varies spatially and determine what drives these differences (i.e., latitude, vegetation, surficial geology); and, 2) to examine how the water quality of streams varies temporally and determine what/how seasonal changes in water flow control water quality. The research team will collect water samples from a suite of study site...


Investigations of the water cycle and hydrological processes of the subarctic Canadian Shield
chercheur principal: Spence, Christopher
Année(s) de permis: 2017 2016 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007
Résumé: It is the objective of this research to determine the water cycle processes acting in watersheds that could affect the streamflow response and water chemistry of Taiga Shield streams. The proposed work will take place within a research basin framework. The proposed watershed, the upper reaches of Baker Creek, is a typical Canadian Shield stream that drains 150 km2 into Great Slave Lake. There ...


The effects of fire on diverse aquatic ecosystems of the NWT
chercheur principal: Tank, Suzanne E
Année(s) de permis: 2017 2016
Résumé: The objective of this study is to determine the effect of fire on water quality within the southern Northwest Territories landscape. The research team will work across the Taiga Plains and Taiga Shield Ecoregions, because it is believed that differences in landscape between these regions will affect the catchment response to fire. The research team will also target catchments with variable permaf...


Erosion of carbon from high-latitude peatlands: Isotopic insight into fluvial transfer in the Mackenzie River Basin
chercheur principal: Hilton, Robert G
Année(s) de permis: 2017 2013 2011 2010 2009
Résumé: The objectives of this research project are to correct for fossil particulate organic carbon (POC) input to the Mackenzie River, and to determine the loci of peatland organic carbon (OC) erosion and flux to the fluvial system. WATER VELOCITY TRANSECT At each sampling location, an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) will allow the research team to determine bathymetry, water velocity trans...


Degradation of dissolved organic carbon in Mackenzie Delta lakes and river channels
chercheur principal: Tank, Suzanne E
Année(s) de permis: 2013 2012
Résumé: This study will examine the solar degradation of riverine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to carbon dioxide (CO2) throughout the Mackenzie River Delta. During the spring runoff peak just before summer solstice, ice-jam flooding inundates the Delta with river water, which spreads out in a relatively thin layer over an extended area and is exposed to 24-hour Arctic sunlight. This water is then slowly...


An investigation of arsenic speciation and toxicity in Baker Creek sediments from Giant Mine in the Northwest Territories, Canada
chercheur principal: Nash, Tyler J
Année(s) de permis: 2012
Résumé: The objective of this research project is to assess the sediment quality of Baker Creek. This will be achieved by analyzing factors influencing arsenic mobility from sediments to overlying water and assessing the toxicology of the sediments using exposure tests on indicator organisms. Core samples of Baker Creek sediments will be taken by the researchers using aluminum pipes driven into the gro...


Bosworth Creek Monitoring Project
chercheur principal: Guthrie, Glen H
Année(s) de permis: 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006
Résumé: Year Four: The Bosworth Creek Monitoring Project has become permanently embedded in Mackenzie Mountain School’s Experiential Science 30 Program and will continue to provide professional development for local youth through associations with academic and industrial institutions. The project will complete baseline biological and chemical data and investigate new sources of ground water that may be t...


Towards Long-term Monitoring of the CO2 System in Arctic Rivers
chercheur principal: Wang, Zhaohui 'Aleck'
Année(s) de permis: 2012 2011 2010
Résumé: The goal of this research is to initiate time-series measurements of the CO2 system in the Mackenzie River, the major Arctic river in North America. This work will serve as the initial step towards long-term measurements and studies of the impacts of global warming on the CO2 systems in Mackenzie River, its estuary, and adjacent coastal waters. The field campaigns will include both diurnal and...
