Climate and permafrost effects on the chemistry and ecosystems of High Arctic...
We present a unique thirteen-year record (2003–16) of the physiochemical properties of two High Arctic lakes and show that water quality has significantly changed. -
The Canadian Water Resource Vulnerability Index to Permafrost Thaw
This study developed and applied a framework for assessing the vulnerability of pan-Canadian water resources to permafrost thaw. -
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. -
Are forest fires increasing the amounts of metals in lakes and wetlands?
This study investigated whether metals, such as mercury released by fires, were washed into or settled on lakes and wetlands. -
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 peatland permafrost thaw on water
This project examined the effect of peatland permafrost thaw on water availability and quality in the Dehcho region. -
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).
