    Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories 2014

    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.

    A Review of the Occurrence of Pacific Salmon (Oncorhynchus Spp.) in the Canadian Western Arctic S.A

    ARCTIC VOL. 59, NO. 1 (MARCH 2006) P. 37–46 A Review of the Occurrence of Pacific Salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) in the Canadian Western Arctic S.A. STEPHENSON1 (Received 21 March 2005; accepted in revised form 29 June 2005) ABSTRACT. This manuscript summarizes all known captures of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) in the Canadian western Arctic up to the end of 2003. Historic information on Pacific salmon distribution in the Canadian western Arctic is limited, and some older identifications are suspect. It is difficult to determine whether salmon numbers are actually increasing, or whether a recently established program to gather information on Pacific salmon abundance has only made them appear more abundant than historically. However, there is no evidence of newly established populations and overall not enough information to state definitively that salmon are increasing in frequency in the Canadian western Arctic as a direct result of climate change. Key words: Pacific salmon, Oncorhynchus spp., western Arctic, Northwest Territories, harvest, climate change RÉSUMÉ. Ce manuscrit résume toutes les captures connues de saumon du Pacifique (Oncorhynchus spp.) dans l’ouest de l’Arctique canadien jusqu’à la fin de 2003. Les données historiques portant sur la répartition du saumon du Pacifique sont restreintes, et certaines identifications plus anciennes sont douteuses. Il est difficile de déterminer si le nombre de saumons augmente réellement ou si le programme récemment mis sur pied pour recueillir de l’information sur l’abondance du saumon du Pacifique les fait paraître plus abondants qu’ils ne l’étaient historiquement. Toutefois, il n’existe aucune preuve de populations nouvellement établies et dans l’ensemble, il n’y a pas assez d’information pour affirmer de manière définitive que la fréquence du saumon augmente dans l’ouest de l’Arctique canadien directement en raison du changement climatique.

    Annual Report: October 1, 2014 Assessing the Impact of Small, Canadian Arctic River Flows to the Freshwater Budget of the Canadian Archipelago Matthew B

    Annual Report: October 1, 2014 Assessing the impact of small, Canadian Arctic River flows to the freshwater budget of the Canadian Archipelago Matthew B. Alkire, University of Washington Assessing the impact of small, Canadian Arctic river flows to the freshwater budget of the Canadian Archipelago (or SCARFs) is a scientific research project funded by the National Science Foundation (USA). The purpose of this project is to collect water samples from seven different rivers and their adjoining estuaries throughout the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (see Fig. 1) in order to determine whether or not their chemical signatures differ from larger North American rivers such as the Mackenzie and Yukon Rivers. Five of the rivers are located within Nunavut, Canada: the Coppermine River (near Kugluktuk), Ellice River (~140 km southeast of Cambridge Bay), Back River (~180 km southeast of Gjoa Haven), Cunningham River (~77 km southeast of Resolute Bay on Somerset Island), and Kangiqtugaapik River (near Clyde River, Baffin Island). Two of the rivers are located within the Northwest Territories, Canada: the Kujjuua River (located approximately 67 km northeast of Ulukhaktok on Victoria Island) and Thomsen River (specifically near the mouth of the river where it empties into Castel Bay, on Banks Island). Figure 1. Map of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. The red stars indicate the mouths of the rivers sampled during this study: (1) Coppermine R., (2) Ellice R., (3) Back R., (4) Kuujuua R. (Victoria Island), (5) Thomsen R. (Banks Island), (6) Cunningham R. (Somerset Island), and (7) Clyde R. (Baffin Island). The Coppermine, Ellice, and Back Rivers are located on the mainland of Nunavut.

    Research Permitting Overview for Parks Canada's Western Arctic Field Unit

    Research Permitting Overview for Parks Canada’s Western Arctic Field Unit Aulavik National Park Ivvavik National Park Tuktut Nogait National Park Pingo Canadian Landmark Parks Canada encourages research and monitoring projects in our heritage areas. Accordingly, information about the Parks Canada research permitting process is available on the Parks Canada website through the On-Line Research and Collection Permitting System (RCPS) (http://www.pc.gc.ca/apps/rps/page1_e.asp). For research permitting information specific to the western Arctic please visit the General Information section of the RCPS website. Click on Heritage Area Specific Information and Conditions and select the appropriate park or the Pingo Canadian Landmark from the scroll down menu. For research in the western Arctic that extends outside of the national parks or the Pingo Canadian Landmark (PCL) please ensure that you have applied for the appropriate Territorial permits (see section 1). All three national parks and the Pingo Canadian Landmark fall within the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) and, as such, are subject to the terms of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement (IFA). Ivvavik National Park is managed under the IFA as part of the Yukon North Slope special conservation regime. A number of the processes and cooperative management bodies established through the IFA have been put in place to ensure that the Inuvialuit are adequately involved and consulted with respect to activities occurring within the ISR. Due to the cooperative regime established under the IFA, the research permitting process in the western Arctic is complex. In general, plan for a minimum of four months to complete all of the necessary steps and include a “best case” scenario (i.e.: all desired research at all desired locations) in your permit application.

This document represents the culmination of 15 years of land use planning with the purpose of protecting and promoting the existing and future well-being of the residents and communities of the Sahtu Settlement Area, having regard for the interests of all Canadians. From its beginnings in 1998, the Board’s early years focused on research, mapping, and public consultations to develop the goals and vision that are the foundation of the plan. From this a succession of 3 Draft Plans were written. Each Plan was submitted to a rigorous review process and refined through public meetings and written comments. This open and inclusive process was based on a balanced approach that considered how land use impacts the economic, cultural, social, and environmental values of the Sahtu Settlement Area. The current board would like to acknowledge the contributions of former board members and staff that helped us arrive at this significant milestone. Also, we would like to extend our gratitude to the numerous individuals and organizations who offered their time, energy, ideas, opinions, and suggestions that shaped the final Sahtu Land Use Plan.

    ARCTIC VOL. 55, SUPP. 1 (2002) P. 4–17 Canadian Beaufort Sea 2000: The Environmental and Social Setting G. BURTON AYLES1 and NORMAN B. SNOW2 (Received 1 March 2001; accepted in revised form 2 January 2002) ABSTRACT. The Beaufort Sea Conference 2000 brought together a diverse group of scientists and residents of the Canadian Beaufort Sea region to review the current state of the region’s renewable resources and to discuss the future management of those resources. In this paper, we briefly describe the physical environment, the social context, and the resource management processes of the Canadian Beaufort Sea region. The Canadian Beaufort Sea land area extends from the Alaska-Canada border east to Amundsen Gulf and includes the northwest of Victoria Island and Banks Island. The area is defined by its geology, landforms, sources of freshwater, ice and snow cover, and climate. The social context of the Canadian Beaufort Sea region has been set by prehistoric Inuit and Gwich’in, European influence, more recent land-claim agreements, and current management regimes for the renewable resources of the Beaufort Sea. Key words: Beaufort Sea, Inuvialuit, geography, environment, ethnography, communities RÉSUMÉ. La Conférence de l’an 2000 sur la mer de Beaufort a attiré un groupe hétérogène de scientifiques et de résidents de la région de la mer de Beaufort en vue d’examiner le statut actuel des ressources renouvelables de cette zone et de discuter de leur gestion future.
