Description du projet: The primary objectives of this research are to determine the ages of the large end moraines (glacial land forms) in the region, to determine the history of sea level change and to assess the history of occupation of the region by bowhead whales. The 2 man team will work out of 4 field camps, each occupied for 10 days. The camps will be put in the field by Twin Otter Aircraft. From each camp the team will travel by 4-wheel ATV, using a different route each day. At each site samples of 20-500 grams will be collected and the elevation will be measured.
