The export of terrigenous dissolved organic carbon from boreal terrestrial ecosystems to the Arctic Ocean and its vulnerability to environmental change
Principal Investigator: Fichot, Cedric
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5897. The primary objective of this funded project is to develop a sophisticated model that can simulate the mobilization, transport, transformations, and export of tDOC from the Mackenzie River watershed to the Arctic Ocean. The model will be used to simulate the transfer of tDOC during the past two decades and for plausi...

Diavik Frame Lake Aerator Program
Principal Investigator: Sinclair, Sean
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5773. This research project has two objectives: 1) determine if installing an aerator in Frame Lake, Yellowknife, NT, will increase dissolved oxygen levels in the lake such that fish can be reintroduced; 2) if objective 1 proves successful, transfer fish into Frame Lake and monitor growth and reproduction to determine if t...
