    Arctic Environmental Strategy Summary of Recent Aquatic Ecosystem Studies Northern Water Resources Studies Arctic Environmental Strategy Summary ofRecent Aquatic Ecosystem Studies August 1995 Northern Affairs Program Edited by J. 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.

River ice, like open-water conditions, is an integral component of the cold-climate hydrological cycle. The annual succession of river ice formation, growth, decay and clearance can include low flows and ice jams, as well as midwinter and spring break-up events. Reports and associated data of river ice occurrence are often limited to single locations or regional assessments, are season-specific, and use readily available data. Within Canada, the National Hydrometric Program (NHP) operates a network of gauging stations with water level as the primary measured variable to derive discharge. In the late 1990s, the Water Science and Technology Directorate of Environment and Climate Change Canada initiated a long-term effort to compile, archive and extract river- ice-related information from NHP hydrometric records.

  • Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories 2018
    Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories 2018 This publication is a collaboration between the Aurora Research Institute, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the Government of the Northwest Territories and the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Thank you to all who submitted a summary of research or photographs, and helped make this publication possible. Editors: Kristi Benson, Jolie Gareis, Niccole Hammer, Jonathon Michel Copyright © 2018 ISSN: 1205-3910 Printed in Yellowknife through the Aurora Research Institute ii Foreword Welcome to the 2018 Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories. It is with great pleasure that I present this annual publication. For over 30 years the Aurora Research Institute, in collaboration with the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, has compiled plain language summaries of all research licensed in the Northwest Territories. This year (2018) was a record year for number of licenced research projects, with 223 licenced through ARI for research across the NWT. When reading through this year’s compendium, I would like to draw your attention to some interesting trends in research in the NWT. First, there is a notable increase in the number of licenses for climate-change research, which includes local, national, and international research projects. Also of interest, there are a number of research projects that focus on the preservation of the rich cultural landscape of the NWT. In addition to the compendium summaries, please refer to ARI's NWT Research Database, for more information about past and present research initiatives in the Northwest Territories.

  • Mackenzie River, Nwt : Sediment-Related Issues and Recommendations

Carson 4533 Rithetwood Drive, Victoria, BC, V8X 4J5 December, 1987 Under contract to: Sediment Survey Section Water Planning & Management Water Resources Branch Inland Waters Directorate Inland Waters Directorate Environment Canada Environment Canada P.O. Box 2970 Ottawa, Ontario, R1A OH3 Yellowknife, NWT, X1A 2R2 Supply & Services Canada Contract No. KE144-7-4155JOl-SS MACKENZIE RIVER, NWT : SEDIMENT-RELATED ISSUES AND RECOMMENDATIONS Executive Summary This planning document describes, in some detail, the major issues related to sediment transport along the Mackenzie River downstream of Great Slave Lake. Eleven major issues are ident- ified. These are: 1. themagnitude, timing and spatialpattern of influx of suspended sediment from the river to the Beaufort Sea: these are key factors controlling the offshore sediment plume (and its relationship to marine productivity), rates of infill of pipeline trenches, seabed stability etc.; 2. inputs of suspended sediment to the Mackenzie Delta as this affects the rate of build-up of the Delta surface - a crucial issue in view of fears of future submergence of the Delta with increasingly rapid rates of local sea level rise and possible permafrost degradation due toglobal warming; 3. the magnitude, timing and spatial pattern of nutrient supply to the Delta and the Beaufort Sea, bearingin mind that much of , the nutrient load is bound to the fine grained suspended load of the river; 4. thetransport of contaminants(hydrocarbons, heavy metals etc.) to the Delta and the Beaufort Sea, many of which are also moved primarily in association with the fine grained fraction of the suspended load; 5.
