Kokelj's PhD thesis, published in 2003, was entitled, "Near-surface Ground Ice in Sediments of the Mackenzie Delta Region, Northwest Territories".[4] Since then Kokelj has held several research positions in the Northwest Territories.
In 2014 Kokelj was the very first speaker invited to lead off a series of talks on Northern issues, hosted in NWT's legislative assembly.[5] The talks were modelled after the TED conferences, and the legislature has made them available via podcast.
