Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5159. The objective of this wind monitoring proposal is to continue to measure the wind energy potential at CN Hill (approximately 130 km from Yellowknife) until the site is next serviced and the equipment removed. This is part of an alternative energy study for the Yellowknife area. Wind data will be collected using instru...

Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4692. The objective of this wind monitoring proposal is to develop further insight into the wind energy potential for the economic feasibility of building a wind farm in Norman Wells, a remote community that is dependent on gas-electric generation. A 60m meteorological tower will be installed in September 2018. This towe...

Summary: The objectives of the research are to: pursue temperature and energy balance studies on Great Bear Lake; determine if Great Bear Lake’s climate behaves like that of Great Slave Lake, or if its unique geographical position and physical attributes make it distinctive; and to explore the temperature structure of the atmosphere above Great Bear Lake and link this with heat and moisture exchanges betwe...

Summary: The research team will operate from two fly camps beside the northern coast of Liverpool Bay, and two camps in the Mason Bay area in the northest portion of Richards Island. Transportation to the camps will be by float plane and boat. All human waste will be buried, and all non-burnable waste will be packed out. Equipment used will consist of shovels and trowels to clear slumped sediment from co...

Principal Investigator: Webb, R.
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The purpose of this research is to place automated instruments to measure the wind, temperature, water levels and wave height and frequency at or near a planned drill site for Shell Canada. These instruments will be installed and monitored during our visit to the site and then the instruments will be left to collect data until they are picked up on September 15, 1993. Bird movements and their ha...

Summary: To continue research on wind (aeolian) processes and associated landforms in Auyuittuq National Park....

Principal Investigator: Melling, Humfrey
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To install current meters and tide gauges beneath the sea surface to measure and record flow and sea-level for 12 months; pack ice motion and surface wind will be measured by drifting instruments for two months - to enable the prediction of ice motion several days in advance....
