Dramatic changes to the waters of the Inuvik (Inuuvik) region, NWT
We monitored all aspects of water at sites along the Inuvik (Inuuvik) – Tuktoyaktuk (Tuktuujaqrtuuq) Highway (ITH), including two streams in the area. -
Aquatic Ecosystems in the Fort Good Hope (Rádeyı̨lı̨kóé) Area as Indicator...
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). -
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. -
NWT Environmental Research and Monitoring Results Workshop: Dehcho Region
This report summarizes a workshop held in Fort Simpson (Łı́ı́dlı̨ Kų́ę́) in 2016. Environmental research and monitoring results in the Dehcho region were shared and discussed. -
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. -
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... -
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). -
Changing Lake Ecosystems in Response to Warming Temperatures
This research looked at the impact of forest fires and warming temperatures on small lakes and ponds in the NWT. -
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. -
How does long term exposure to permafrost thaw slumps affect stream health?
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. -
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. -
A multiproxy database of western North America Holocene paleoclimate records
We present a database of western North American Holocene paleoclimate records from 184 terrestrial and marine sites, spanning at least 4000 of the last 12,000 years. -
Contemporary glacier area changes in the Ragged Range, Northwest Territories
This is research on the Ragged Range glaciers in NWT. Approximately 110 km² of glacier cover has been lost over the last 35 years. -
