AB-NT Transboundary Benthic Invertebrate Monitoring in the Hay River
Principal Investigator: Cunada, Christopher
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6001. The objectives of this project are to establish a baseline for benthic invertebrates’ community structure and composition in the transboundary reaches of the Hay River, and to track the status and conditions over time to contribute to the assessment of ecosystem health and provide an early warning of change or stress...


Assessing the cumulative impacts of repeated wildfires on aquatic ecosystems in the Dehcho and South Slave area, NT
Principal Investigator: Cox, Amelia
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5970. 1) To assess the impact of recent 2023 wildfires on the aquatic ecosystem in small ponds in the Dehcho and South Slave area. 2) To assess whether small ponds impacted by the 2014 wildfire season had recovered to pre-fire conditions. 3) To assess whether there were cumulative impacts of repeated wildfires on small ...

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...


Ekati
Principal Investigator: Donald, Derek
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5765. The main objectives of the field work for 2023 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 colle...

Great Bear Lake Water Monitoring
Principal Investigator: Kheyrollah Pour, Homa
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5678. The contamination and pollution objectives for this research project are as follows: 1) identify and monitor potential sources of contamination and pollution in the lake, including runoff, and sewage; 2) measure and track levels of pollutants such as heavy metals, pesticides, nutrients (e.g., nitrogen and phosphorus)...


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...


Dale Creek Sampling
Principal Investigator: Ponsford, Ian
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5693. The objective of this research project is to collect baseline data related to the water quality and fish habitat in Dale Creek. The research team intends to accomplish this goal through monitoring and sampling of the water at the watercourse crossing at Dale Creek. A stream survey, including stream width/depth mea...


What is the impact of metal contamination from mining activities in the Yellowknife area on northern pike (Esox lucius) and H. azteca populations?
Principal Investigator: Rosabal, Maikel
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 55584. Considering the results obtained in our previous studies on fish and invertebrates, our main goal is to generate a specific knowledge about the implications of metals bioaccumulated observed in the population of northern pike and invertebrates (H. azteca) inhabiting ecosystems located in this mining region. Our spec...
