Objective(s): To reconstruct the vegetational and climatic history along the Mackenzie River and the Mackenzie Delta area for the last 12000 years.
Project Description: The researcher will sample a variety of lakes (some 50 lakes altogether) around Inuvik. A hole, approximately 8 inches in diameter, will be bored through the ice in each lake. Using an Ekman sampler, lake bottom sediments (mud) will be collected for analysis in the lab. The researchers will get to each of the lakes bt helicopter and spend approximately 15 to 20 minutes at each lake.
