Title:
Northern Expertise in Hydrogeology
Agreement Number:
1025635
Agreement Value:
$50,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jan 14, 2025 - Jan 1, 2026
Description:
Building upon the current NRC-funded “Groundwater vulnerability to metal(loid) contamination in Whitehorse, Yukon” project, it is proposed to strengthen northern expertise in hydrogeology and to increase the capacity of Yukon University faculty and prepare a northern-led research project proposal in which northern scientists play leading roles. To develop the project proposal, engagement with stakeholders, including First Nations partners and private well owners, is required to recognize and discuss key water resource-related issues faced by Northerners, including aspects of physical and chemical hydrogeology beyond the scope of the original project, and to guide next steps for future research.
