Assessing the influence of lake and watershed attributes on snowmelt bypass at thermokarst lakes

TL;DR: In this paper , isotope data were used to estimate the amount of lake water replaced by freshet and to observe how the water sources of lakes changed in response to the freshet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modern Eastern Canadian Arctic Lake Water Isotopes Exhibit Latitudinal Patterns in Inflow Seasonality and Minimal Evaporative Enrichment

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used modern lake water isotopes (δ18O and δ2H) collected between 1994-1997 and 2017-2021 from a transect of sites spanning a Québec-to-Ellesmere Island gradient to evaluate the effects of inflow seasonality and evaporative enrichment on the lake water composition of lake water.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ecosystem responses of shallow thermokarst lakes to climate-driven hydrological change: Insights from long-term monitoring of periphytic diatom community composition at Old Crow Flats (Yukon, Canada).

TL;DR: In this article , periphytic diatom community composition in biofilms accrued on artificial-substrate samplers at 14 lakes collected mostly annually during 2008-2019 CE was analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrological, meteorological, and watershed controls on the water balance of thermokarst lakes between Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories, Canada

TL;DR: In this article , water isotope data were used to calculate the average isotope composition of lake source water (δI) and the ratio of evaporation to inflow (E/I).

Recent Shrub Proliferation in the Mackenzie Delta Uplands and Microclimatic Implications

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used soft copy stereo visualization of air photos to map fine-scale changes in tall shrub tundra and green alder density in the upland tundras north of Inuvik, NT between 1972 and 2004.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterizing the role of hydrological processes on lake water balances in the Old Crow Flats, Yukon Territory, Canada, using water isotope tracers.

TL;DR: In this paper, water isotope tracers were used to assess hydrological processes controlling lake water balances in the Old Crow Flats (OCF) landscape, northern Yukon Territory, Canada.
Journal ArticleDOI

A coupled isotope tracer method to characterize input water to lakes

TL;DR: In this paper, a coupled isotope tracer method was developed for characterizing the isotopic composition of input water to lakes, and applied it in the context of ongoing hydrological process studies in the Peace-Athabasca Delta, a large, remote, riparian ecosystem in the boreal region of western Canada.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shrinking lakes of the Arctic: Spatial relationships and trajectory of change

TL;DR: This paper used global satellite data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer (MODIS) instrument to investigate changes in lakes across Canada between 2000 and 2009, showing a net reduction of more than 6,700 km2 in the surface area of water.
