  • 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.

Department of The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 DE-6 (3/81) ABSTRACT This paper discusses community resistance to the imposition of an external industrial socio-economic system and the destruction of a distinctive land-based way of life. It shows how historically Inuvialuit independence has been eroded by contact with the external economic system and the assimilationist policies of the government. In spite of these pressures, however, the Inuvialuit have struggled to retain their culture and their land-based economy. This thesis shows that hunting and trapping continue to be viable and to contribute significant income, both cash and income- in-kind to the community.

Field techniques included informal observation and intensive intemews with selected native and white informers. Factors examined were the educational, lob-skill, and housing needs which affect the*natives; thcir bush culture which includes sharing and consumption ethics and a derogatory attitude toward status seeking; and heavy drinking, a predominant problem among the natives. Some recommendations were; (1) an adult education program stressing the value systems of town life should be established; (2) the Trappers Association should be revived to provide equipment arid encouragement to natives more suited to trapping than town life; and (3) a summer's work program should be instituted for teenage native males.

  • Ground Temperatures and Permafrost Warming from Forest to Tundra, Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands and Anderson Plain, NWT, Canada

The latitudinal decrease in Tg from forest to tundra is accompanied by an increase in the range of values measured in the central, tall-shrub tun- dra zone. Field measurements from 124 sites across this ecotone indicate that in undisturbed terrain Tg may approach 0°C in the forest and À4°C in dwarf-shrub tundra. The greatest range of local variation in Tg (~7°C) was observed in the tall-shrub transition zone. Undisturbed terrain units with relatively high Tg include riparian areas and slopes with drifting snow, saturated soils in polygonal peatlands and areas near lakes. Across the region, the warmest permafrost is associated with disturbances such as thaw slumps, drained lakes, areas burned by wildfires, drilling-mud sumps and roadsides.

DOI: 10.1002/ppp.536 The Influence of Thermokarst Disturbance on the Water Quality of Small Upland Lakes, Mackenzie Delta Region, Northwest Territories, Canada S. V. Kokelj,1* R. E. Jenkins,1 D. Milburn,1 C. R. Burn2 and N. Snow3 1 Water Resources Division, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, Yellowknife, NT, Canada 2 Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 3 Inuvialuit Joint Secretariat, Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada ABSTRACT Chemical data are presented for water from 22 lakes in small upland catchments (<20 ha) between Inuvik and Richards Island, Northwest Territories, Canada. Eleven of the basins appear pristine and 11 are affected by thermokarst slumping. The mean dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration of the pristine lakes (16.3 mg/l) is greater than the mean concentration of lakes disturbed by thermokarst slumping (10.5 mg/l). In pristine lakes, mean concentrations of Ca, Mg and SO4 are 9.6, 3.6 and 11.1 mg/l, but in lakes affected by thermokarst, mean concentrations are 72.6, 26.8 and 208.2 mg/l, respectively. Soluble materials released from degrading permafrost are transported to lakes by surface runoff, elevating concentrations in lake water. The percentage of total basin area influenced by thermokarst is positively associated with ionic concentrations in lake water and inversely related to DOC. Thermokarst occupying as little as 2% of catchment area may modify the chemistry of lake water, and water quality may remain affected for several decades after slump development has ceased.

Principles In keeping with the Decision of the Government of Canada issued on April 4, 2013, the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway Corridor Working Group (ITHC WG) will function in accordance with the following principles: . The WG is an information sharing mechanism for the Department of Transportation to report on the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway project and to review outcomes of the multiple environmental management and monitoring plans to invited interested parties. Information provided through this WG is intended to be a primary source of data for the follow-up program under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 1992 for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of the predictions made in the environmental assessment and the effectiveness of the mitigation measures. The Department of Transportation will use this group as a means to communicate and report broadly to the interested parties, including Inuvialuit and Gwich’in communities and the public, on the Project on a bi-annual basis, at a minimum.
