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. -
Dramatic changes to the waters of the Inuvik region, NWT
We monitored all aspects of water at sites along the Inuvik – Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH), including two streams in the area. -
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. -
Hot then cold: how paired wildfire and permafrost thaw events are shaping bor...
This project looked at how wildfire and permafrost thaw are impacting the recovery of vegetation important to boreal caribou in southern NWT. -
Recovery of boreal caribou habitat after forest fires
This study examined the impacts of forest fires on the recovery of boreal caribou habitat. -
NWT Thermokarst Mapping Collective
The NWT Thermokarst Mapping Collective project developed a methodology to generate NWT-wide thermokarst and permafrost feature inventory maps. -
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. -
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. -
Coastal and Offshore Permafrost - Rapid Response Assessment
This assessment of coastal and offshore permafrost reviews the state of knowledge, assesses the challenges faced by Arctic peoples, and provides recommendations. -
Polar Data Catalogue
The Polar Data Catalogue is a certified repository of metadata and data that describes and provides access to diverse data sets generated by Arctic and Antarctic researchers. -
A Long-Term, 1-km Resolution Daily Meteorological Dataset for Modeling and Ma...
This study developed a long-term (1901–2100), 1-km resolution daily meteorological dataset (Met1km) for modeling and mapping permafrost at high spatial resolutions in Canada. -
Polar Continental Shelf Program Science Report 2019
This report summarizes ongoing research projects and associated fieldwork occurring in the Arctic and supported by the Polar Continental Shelf Program, much of it climate change... -
Long-term ice-rich permafrost coast sensitivity to air temperatures and storm...
Using aerial imagery and ground survey data from Pullen Island, NWT, we observe increasing coastal erosion rates between 1947 to 2018. -
Arctic coastal erosion: UAV-SfM data collection strategies for planimetric an...
This study furthers the geomorphological understanding of RTS processes along Arctic coasts, and demonstrates advancements in measurement practices for UAV-SfM data. -
Continuous Dynamics of Dissolved Methane Over 2 Years and its Carbon Isotopes...
We studied dissolved methane dynamics within a small Mackenzie River Delta lake, autonomously and continuously collecting water samples for two years at various depths.
