Summary:
The main objective of the Jackfish Lake Baseline Environmental Monitoring is to develop and implement a one-year environmental monitoring program to support a 2019 water licence application. Specific objectives are:
1) to determine the range of water temperatures from each of the three cooling systems;
2) to measure annual water temperature regime in Jackfish Lake and analyse any impacts of the ...

Summary:
The research project Water Ecosystems Monitoring using Earth Observation aims to define an Earth Observation (EO) driven monitoring program to provide information towards monitoring environmental indicators of northern ecosystem health. Once the project is done information on water indicators including water temperature, suspended sediment concentrations, water levels, and ice quality and will be...

20112010 Summary:
The central logistics hypothesis is that a crucial component of an Arctic Observing Network is ocean thermistor string buoys that are capable of measuring the local, atmospherically warmed upper 60 m of the Arctic Ocean. The focus is on the increasingly open seas of the Canadian and eastern Eurasian Basins.
The central scientific hypothesis that provides motivation for this proposal is that the...

Summary:
To determine how spring and summer temperatures affect the abundance of the amphipod Gammarus lacustris throughout the summer. Over the 2 years of the experiment, the research team plans to use amphipods from 4 different sources over several latitudes (Montana-USA, St. Denis-SK, Yellowknife-NT, Inuvik, NT). Using this variety of geographic sources will allow us to assess if different populations...

Summary:
The objectives of this project are to measure meteorology, heat fluxes, and physical limnological components of Great Bear Lake; to quantify the variability in these characteristics; to model the thermal structure of the lake under current and changed climate conditions; and to assess the effect of climate on the temperature structure and heat fluxes of the lake.
This research is part of the IP...

Summary:
The objectives of this study are to measure the water balance and thermal regimes of Great Bear Lake and determine the linkages between the lake and the atmosphere above. Lake temperatures will be measured with self-recording thermistors on a rope with a...

Summary:
This project will examine the adaptation of freshwater fish to low temperatures. The data to be collected includes blood and tissue samples from fish. These samples will be analyzed for enzymes, fats and proteins. These results will be compared to samples taken from other locations (e.g. Nunavut, southern waters). This work will provide important information relating the sensitivity of Arctic ...

The researcher will collect samples of ground ice in near-surface sediments and measure air, ground and lake temperatures. The information will be used to help understand how the permafrost in the area has changed in the last few thousand years, in order to determine what might happen in the future....
