Quantifying the effects of mining activities on the health of streams in the South Nahanni Watershed (NWT)
Principal Investigator: Scrimgeour, Garry J
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008 2007
Summary: The objectives of this research are three-fold: 1) To quantify natural variability of benthic macroinvertebrate communities at reference sites un-impacted by human activity; 2) To determine whether mining activities degrade the health of streams in the South Nahanni Watershed; 3) To understand whether pigments in algal cells can be used to assess stream health. This project will be conducted t...

Butterfly Inventory in the NWT
Principal Investigator: Layberry, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: Butterflies are easily studied and can provide valuable information of changes occuring in northern ecosystems - including climate changes, and habitat changes. Many areas of the NWT have few studies on insects; therefore, this inventory work can inprove the baseline information of these species. The main investigator will travel with other NWT biologists to remote study sites and near comm...

Measuring Genetic Diversity in Small False Asphodel, Tofieldia pusilla (Liliaceae), in Glacial Refugia, Disjunct Populations on Lake Superior and Across its Broad Arctic Range : A Tool for Prioritizing Sites for Conservation
Principal Investigator: Line, Jennifer
Licensed Year(s): 2000
Summary: This research will contribute to an increased understanding of ecological integrity in Nahanni National Park, provide information on the importance of glacial refugia as banks of genetic diversity and highlight the value of genetic diversity as an indicator of ecological integrity. The researcher will be transported to sampling sites within the park by Parks Canada staff (plane, helicopter). At...

Development of Ecosystem Maintenance Indicators (EMI's) for the Peel, Liard and Slave Rivers.
Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Donald D.
Licensed Year(s): 1995
Summary: The T.E.K. component of the study will involve a series of interviews with residents in the Liard River basin. These interviews will be conducted by an interviewer who is competent in English and Slavey. The interviews will be recorded on audio tape and transcribed later onto the questionaire and maps. The communities will be provided with copies of all raw and summarized information....
