This compendium addendum provides a summary of the most significant academic literature about climate change in the NWT, that has been produced through fieldwork in the NWT.

Each hour-long webinar features presentations from leading researchers and community members, providing a comprehensive exploration of northern research topics.

This report provides a step by step guide for how to build a monitoring framework that is scientifically rigorous, technically feasible, decision-oriented, and scalable.

This report summarizes a workshop held in Fort Simpson in 2016. Environmental research and monitoring results in the Dehcho region were shared and discussed.

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.

This report focuses on climate change impacts and adaptation issues of national importance or that are best understood through an integrated, pan-Canadian perspective.

This study developed and applied a framework for assessing the vulnerability of pan-Canadian water resources to permafrost thaw.

This study documents the rapid restructuring of algal community composition ca 2000 CE that is consistent with recent climate change impacts in the region.

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.

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...

ECCC has been working with community members to study the water quality of important wetland ecosystems in the Ts’ude Niline Tuyeta protected area.

This project examined the effect of peatland permafrost thaw on water availability and quality in the Dehcho region.

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).

We monitored all aspects of water at sites along the Inuvik – Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH), including two streams in the area.

This research looked at the impact of forest fires and warming temperatures on small lakes and ponds in the NWT.

We combined Gwich’in and scientific knowledge to map łuk dagaii (broad whitefish, Coregonus nasus) habitat in the Peel River Watershed at risk of being affected by thaw slumping.

From 2010-2014, we sampled the physical habitat and benthic invertebrates (bugs) in the Peel Plateau to assess how permafrost thaw slumps impact stream health.

We looked at how aquatic bacteria and their functions are changing due to various landscape pressures in the Sahtù Settlement Area (e.g. permafrost thaw, wildfire, land use).

The continental shelf of the Canadian Beaufort Sea is investigated to see if it is causing decomposition of relict offshore subsea permafrost and gas hydrates.

This report documents the status and trajectory of many components of the climate system in the Arctic.
