Summary:
The objective of this project is to increase the understanding of taiga carbon balance of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and predict into the future the impacts of climate warming on these systems.
The exchange of carbon gases between the taiga and atmosphere is a significant component of the carbon balance and is dependent upon vegetation cover. The description below for the tundra site at...

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...

This research, begun in 1985, involves measuring climate data such as air and ground temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, solar radiation, precipitation and snow depth. Automatic data collecting stations have been set up to measure these data. The purpose of this research is to document a more accurate picture of the region's climate, to obtain information about the past cli...
