Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5401. The Principal Investigator (PI) will carry out focus groups with public and community stakeholders, and interviews with physicians to help identify views on planetary health informed healthcare, views on the introduction of planetary health informed prescribing into the regional health care system, and the potential b...

Spatial and long-term trends in persistent organic contaminants and metals in fish from the Northwest Territories

Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2017 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5350. The purpose of this study is to continue to investigate whether contaminant (mercury, other metals, persistent organic contaminants) levels are changing in fish in the Northwest Territories with a focus on Great Slave Lake. The research team plan to arrange collections of lake trout from the Hay River area and Lutsel ...

Identifying habitats that influence body condition and fitness of adult female caribou in the southern Northwest Territories [traditional knowledge component

Principal Investigator: Kelly, Allicia
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5351. The objectives of this project are to describe different plants and vegetation communities that offer different nutritional value to boreal caribou using both scientific language and traditional knowledge. The research team plan to create a plain-language document(s) that shares information on habitats, vegetation com...

Wetland status, change, and seasonal inundation dynamics for assessing the vulnerability of waterfowl habitat within the ABoVE study domain

Principal Investigator: French, Nancy H
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5205. The main project goal is to characterize changes in waterfowl habitat using remote sensing approaches developed during prior NASA ABoVE research campaigns. The first objective is to create wetland type and surface inundation products (maps) for the ABoVE boreal region. The second objective is to assess the efficacy of...

CoMet 2.0 Arctic

Principal Investigator: Fix, Andreas
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5211. This project will use aircraft-based instruments using both remote-sensing and in-situ-techniques to carry out measurements of methane and carbon trace gases and tracers related to their emissions. The results will help to better understand the global methane and carbon cycle. This mission makes use of the German r...

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): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5291. The primary objective of this project is to develop a sophisticated model that can simulate the mobilization, transport, transformations, and export of Terrigenous Dissolved Organic Carbon (tDOC) from the Mackenzie River watershed to the Arctic Ocean. The model will be used to simulate the transfer of tDOC during the ...

NASA Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) Airborne Initiative 2022

Principal Investigator: Miller, Charles E
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5304. The extended ABoVE Study Area includes most of northwestern North America west of Hudson Bay and north and east of the coastal mountain ranges. It encompasses the variability in the key types of ecosystems that are both unique to arctic and boreal regions in North America as well as being representative of the larger ...

Understanding the Interactions between Wildfire Disturbance, Landscape Hydrology and Post-Fire Recovery in Boreal-Taiga Ecosystems

Principal Investigator: Bourgeau-Chavez, Laura L.
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4940. The overall goal of the proposed research is to improve understanding of the controls and impacts of a changing climate on the vulnerability and resiliency of boreal-taiga ecosystems to wildfire. This is being addressed through field sampling and process-based ecological and hydrological modeling of the 2014-2016 wild...

Co-Developing a Two-Eyed Seeing Approach to Archaeology Education

Principal Investigator: Woldum, Kaylee
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5268. This project examines how implementing Indigenous pedagogies in the archaeology programming of the Tundra Science and Culture Camp (TSCC) impacts the experiences of Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants and leaders. Previously, the scientific programs of the camp have taken up more time and been kept distinct fro...
