Undergraduate and Graduate Research Positions in Cold Regions Hydrology

The Dehcho Collaborative on Permafrost (DCoP) is looking for undergraduate and graduate students to examine the impacts of permafrost thaw and/or wildfire on the hydrology of peatland-dominated basins in the southern Taiga Plains ecoregion, Northwest Territories, Canada. DCoP is a fusion of leading-edge scientific and Indigenous knowledge on permafrost focussed on developing new methods and predictive tools to help manage permafrost and adapt to permafrost thaw. See a short video on DCoP.


Field studies will be based at the newly renovated Scotty Creek Research Station. The Łı́ı́dlı̨ı̨ Kų́ę́ First Nation recently took on the leadership of the station making Scotty Creek one of the first Indigenous-led research stations in the world and a "flagship" for scientific-Indigenous collaboration in Canada’s North (Scotty Creek Research Community - The Spirit of Collaboration).
