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). -
Permafrost thaw slumping and impacts to łuk dagaii (broad whitefish) habitat ...
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. -
Aquatic Ecosystems in the Fort Good Hope Area as Indicators of Environmental ...
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). -
Freshwater Seepage Into Sediments of the Shelf, Shelf Edge, and Continental S...
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.
