Summary: 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...

Summary: The objective of the study is to collect baseline fish and fish habitat information to provide an initial assessment of instream flow needs, and potential negative impacts to fish in the portion of the La Martre River affected by proposed the Nailii hydro project. Fish sampling will be conducted to be appropriate for the fish communities and life stages present. All captured fish will be enumer...

Summary: The research team will be based in Ft. Resolution. Transportation includes aircraft from Toronto to Edmonton to Hay River. Transportation in the field will be by truck and boat. The research team will operate from a base camp previously established on Steamboat Channel (a camp we originally established in 1977 when this work originally started). Water level recorders will be established at six sit...

Summary: In 1999, the Northwest Territories Power Corporation was awarded a 25 year water licence to operate its three hydroelectric plants on the Snare River. Conditions of this water licence included that two studies be done by the Corporation. The first study is an assessment addressing the removal of minimum flow requirements on two of the dams. This study will include a current assessment of fish a...

Summary: The field crew will live on the delta for approximately 8-9 weeks at a site established by the principal investigator in 1997 on Steamboat Channel. Transportation will be by boat. Three channels will be studied in detail. At each study site the researchers will measure the speed of the flow using an electronic velocity meter, measure the cross sectional profile of the channel with tape and rod ...
