Inuvik, Canada

September 4th, we flew from Yellowknife to Inuvik, where we visited the Aurora Research Institute (ARI) of Aurora College, and met with Doug Robertson (acting Director of the ARI), Aurora Research Institute, Jonathon Michel (Manager, Scientific Services, ARI), and Jolie Gareis. Aurora College serves as a community college, as well as provides educational outreach to a number of NWT Native Communities. In addition, ARI licenses all scientific research in the NWT and provides logistical support to ongoing research. In the morning of September 5th we visited the Havikpak Creek research site, a site maintained by the Hydrologic Research Centre of Environment Canada. We were given this tour by Mark Russell of Environment Canada. The longer‐term research at this site has included: (a) measures of ground temperature; (b) measures of met snow depth, precipitation, and temperature, and (c) eddy covariance measures of carbon dioxide and methane. At the Inuvik Airport, we encountered two Japanese Researchers conducting research on tree rings across the NWT: Yojiro Matsuura and Akira Osawa (Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute (FFPRI) and Kyoto University, respectively).
