    Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories 2014 www.nwtresearch.com This publication is a collaboration between the Aurora Research Institute, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre. Thank you to all who submitted a summary of research or photographs, and helped make this publication possible. Editor: Ashley Mercer Copyright © 2015 ISSN: 1205-3910 Printed by Aurora Research Institute Foreword Welcome to the 2014 Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories. This year marked a special anniversary for the Aurora Research Institute and northern research. Fifty years ago, the Inuvik Research Laboratory was built and has served as a hub for research in the western arctic ever since. The Lab, as it was known, was first built as an initiative of the Canadian federal government in the newly established community of Inuvik. It remains on the same site today, but in 2011, a new modern multi-purpose facility opened to continue to support research in the north. We have included a brief history of the Lab and its impact in this edition of the Compendium to mark its long lasting importance to many researchers and community members. As part of the 50th anniversary celebration, the Aurora Research Institute team undertook a full set of NWT-wide celebrations. We celebrated the history, capacity and growth of research in the NWT that touched all corners of the territory and beyond. We honoured the significant scientific contributions that have taken place in the NWT over the past 50 years, and the role of NWT researchers, technicians and citizens in these accomplishments.

Chouinard D. Milburn Published under the authority of the Honourable Ronald A. Irwin, P.C., M.P., Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development Ottawa, 1995 QS-8507-030-EF-Al Catalogue No. R72-244/1-1995E ISBN 0-662-23939-3 © Minister of Public Works and Government Services Canada FOREWORD The Arctic Environmental Strategy (AES), announced in April 1991, is a six-year $100 million Green Plan initiative. The overall goal ofthe AES is to preserve and enhance the integrity, health, biodiversity and productivity ofour Arctic ecosystems for the benefit ofpresent and future generations. Four specific programs address some ofthe key environmental challenges: they are waste cleanup, contaminants, water management, and environment and economy integration. The programs are managed by the Northern Affairs Program ofthe Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND); however, there is a strong emphasis on partnerships with northern stakeholders including Native organizations, other federal departments and the territorial governments. The AES Action on Water Program specifically strives to enhance the protection ofnorthern freshwaters through improved knowledge and decision-making. Water Resources managers in the Yukon and the Northwest Territories administer this Program which focuses on freshwater aquatic ecosystems. This report is the first detailed compilation ofstudies.conducted under the AES Action on Water Program. It covers work done from 1991 to 1994. Many studies have been concluded, while others are ongoing. Although data may not be available for all studies, or results are preliminary at this time, this report presents detailed background, objectives and methodology.

  • Coppermine River Nomination Document
    Coppermine River Nomination Document Government of Nunavut Parks and Tourism Division Department of Sustainable Development Coppermine River, Nunavut Nomination Document Parks and Tourism Division Department of Sustainable Development Community of Kugluktuk 1 2 Canadian Heritage Rivers System The Canadian Heritage Rivers System has been established by federal, provincial and territorial governments to recognize Canada’s outstanding rivers, and to ensure future management which will protect these rivers and enhance their significant heritage values for long-term benefit and enjoyment of Canadians. To qualify for inclusion in the Canadian Heritage Rivers System a river or a section of river must be of outstanding significance in one or more area; human heritage, natural heritage or recreational values. The nominated section should also be large enough to encompass these values and to provide the user with an appreciation of the river’s resources, as well as an enjoyable recreational experience. The responsibility for the collection and analysis of information to determine heritage values and for subsequent nomination of the river rests with the particular government within whose jurisdiction the nominated river lies. The Canadian Heritage Rivers Board, composed of federal, provincial and territorial repre- sentatives, will examine each nomination document and advise the Minister responsible for Parks Canada and the Minister(s) of the nominating agency (ies) on the suitability of the nominated river for inclusion within the Canadian Heritage Rivers System. When consider- ing a river, the Board will determine the degree to which the nominated river satisfies the “Guidelines for the selection of Canadian Heritage Rivers”. The Board will consider both the river and its surrounding landscape which together capture the heritage values.

  • Combining Flat Water Paddling Over Tundra Lakes with the Rush of White Water Where It Tumbles Down to the Arctic Ocean
    COPPERMINE RIVER Introduction The Coppermine River is an excellent trip for experienced canoeists; combining flat water paddling over tundra lakes with the rush of white water where it tumbles down to the Arctic Ocean. The 640 km (400 mi.) trip from Lac de Gras (shorter if canoeists start at Point or Redrock Lakes) takes voyageurs past the tundra, through the treeline and the famous Coppermine Mountains and back to the tundra again as it winds to the north. This is a fast river with many rapids and whitewater stretches. All falls and many of the larger rapids require portaging. Other rapids demand very good manoeuvre skill and expertise in whitewater canoeing. You are on your own once the plane drops you off. There are no settlements until Coppermine on Coronation Gulf. Those attempting the trip should be experienced canoeists, with knowledge of survival and first aid skills. It is suggested to plan at least three to four weeks in advance for the trip. Access To The Coppermine River There are many large lakes in the headwaters of the Coppermine where canoeists can start a trip. The most popular starting points are Lac de Gras, the Source Lake and the Winter Lake. John Franklin started out from the Winter Lake in the summer of 1821 for the Polar Sea, Point Lake at the foot of Obstruction Rapids, Rawalpindi Lake and Redrock Lake. Starting from the Rawalpindi Lake and Redrock Lake avoids the long lake slogs. However, the trip from Rawalpindi to the Coppermine River at Redrock Lake includes several carries and shallow rivers.

The Great Bear Lake: Its Place in History LIONEL JOHNSON1 INTRODUCTION Great Bear Lake (Fig. 1) is one of the most prominent geographic features of northern Canada. Shaped likethe missing piece of a jigsaw puzzle, with five arms radiating from a central body, it has a total area of 31,150 square kilometres - approximately the same as that of the Netherlands. It is the eighth largest, and by far the most northerly, of the world's major lakes, and probably the least productive. (Johnson 1975a). PIG. 1 Great Bear Lake and surrounding area. The Arctic Circle transects the northernmost arm of the lake, and so the sun is visible from it for 24 hours a day in June, while in mid-winter daylight lasts for only twoto three hours. In July, the mean daily maximumtemperature is 19OC, in sharp contrast to the equivalent January figure of -27OC. Warm summers and cold winters, together with a total annual precipitation of about 230 millimetres, give rise to conditions which may best be described as northern continental.
