Remote Sensing of the Scotty Creek Basin
Wilfrid Laurier University researchers created and tested a new method to map land cover types – such as forests, bogs and fens – in the headwaters of the Scotty Creek basin. -
Thaw-driven mass wasting couples slopes with downstream systems, and effects ...
In this study we quantify thaw slump enlargement, investigate thermokarst impacts, and map the propagation of effects through hydrological networks draining permafrost terrain. -
Impacts of wildfires on tǫdzı (Boreal caribou)
Boreal caribou and vegetation monitoring in areas of recent wildfire burn, in addition to Indigenous Knowledge, were used to determine impacts of wildfire on boreal caribou. -
How slumps are impacting aquatic systems in the Gwich’in Settlement Area
We collected water and bug samples at 36 sites in the Stony Creek watershed in the Gwich’in Settlement Area to test if thaw slumps affect macroinvertebrates in streams. -
Ground temperatures and thermokarst in the North Slave Region
Ground temperatures were monitored to examine evidence of ground temperature warming and to assess the influence of various environmental factors on permafrost conditions. -
Changing hydrology in Baker Creek
Meteorological data used to determine trends and changes in autumn rainfall and winter air temperatures over a 37-year record, and streamflow was used to calculate the total... -
Warmer temperatures and changing snowpack structure: what this means for the ...
This research looked at how the yearly snowpack is changing, and how it may influence the well-being of the Bathurst caribou herd. -
Elders’ stories of Jean Marie River: Impacts of permafrost thaw and forest fi...
Due to concerns about permafrost thaw and forest fires, changes in caribou habitat in JMRFN traditional territory were documented using traditional knowledge and scientific... -

This study investigates salmon numbers in the Arctic through community-based monitoring. -
How do forest fires affect wetland water quality in Ts’ude Niline Tuyeta?
ECCC has been working with community members to study the water quality of important wetland ecosystems in the Ts’ude Niline Tuyeta protected area. -
Impacts of Fire on Woodland and Barren-ground Caribou Habitat
This study investigated how quickly vegetation regrew following the 2014 fire season to learn the impacts of extreme fires on caribou habitat. -
Impacts of peatland permafrost thaw on water
This project examined the effect of peatland permafrost thaw on water availability and quality in the Dehcho region. -
Modeling Sahtú region landscape futures
Modelling was performed to forecast the consequences of oil/gas development, mining, transportation, fire, climate change, and permafrost on the Sahtú landscape. -
How will climate warming and permafrost thaw affect fish, bugs, and waterflea...
This study looked at how increasing water temperatures and permafrost thaw will affect fish and what they eat, such as bugs (macroinvertebrates) and waterfleas (zooplankton). -
Thaw slumps, landscape change and critical infrastructure
Drone surveys were used to track the growth of thaw slumps in the Gwich’in, Sahtú and Inuvialuit Settlement regions and to calculate the amount of materials carried downslope. -
Remote Sensing of Vegetation on the Bathurst Caribou Herd Range
To help understand the impact of changes to caribou habitat their decline, we analyzed satellite imagery to detect changes in vegetation in the Bathurst caribou herd range.
