Birds of the Mackenzie Delta
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2001
Résumé: The research team will be based in Inuvik, and travel within the Municipality on foot, bicycle and by motor vehicle. While the majority of the Guide preparation will involve the completion of background research/literature reviews in libararies and on the internet, field studies will be carried out to document the bird species present locally. These species will be photographically documented; no ...


Sustainable Alternatives to Industrial Forestry in the Gwich'in Settlement Area
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2000 1999 1998
Résumé: The Gwich'in Renewable Resource Board (GRRB) is working with the Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development (DRWED) and Gwich'in Tribal Council (GTC) to develop a forest management plan for the Gwich'in Settlement Area. In order to manage the forests sustainably, we must have a good understanding of how fast trees grow and how forests regenerate after disturbances (particularly wi...


Local Caribou Ethologies in the Circumpolar Arctic
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1998
Résumé: The method of data collection will be participant observation of hunting and processing activities at camps established within the Gwich'in Settlement Area. The camps will be established by the Gwich'in Renewable Resource Committee and will involve several generations of Gwich'in hunters: elders, adults and youth. One research assistant will participate in setting up the camp and in the day-to-day...


Genetic Diversity in the Biota of Arctic Lakes
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1997
Résumé: Our research will involve the survey of zooplankton communities in lakes and ponds of the Mackenzie Delta area (Inuvialuit private lands). Samples will be collected by either wading in ponds or by towing at net behind a float equipped helicopter. Samples will be frozen in liquid nitrogen, and subsequently examined for genetic variation. Our work aims to establish the species diversity of zoopla...


Inconnu anchor tagging and radio tagging migratory study
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1996
Résumé: A sample of potential spawners (inconnu) will be tagged (30 radio tags and up to 300 anchor tags) in the area of shingle point, Coney Lake and possible other areas in the outer delta. fish will be captured using a combination of gillnets, box traps, angling, and seining. Tracking of radio tagged inconnu will be done from a fixed wing aircraft. Recapture information from tagged fish captured in ...


Anticancer Agents from Microorganisms
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1999 1995
Résumé: The researcher will collect by hand, usually along the roadside, approximately several grams of soil and mud specimens to be returned to the Cancer Research Institute laboratories for evaluation for microorganism constituents which may have potential anticancer activity....


Hybridization and genetic variation in arctic grasses: molecular, morphological and ecological evidence
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1997 1995 1994
Résumé: The researcher will collect living plants (Arctic grasses), 6 - 10 species from each collection site. In addition, several plants of each species will be pressed and dried as voucher specimens to be used to check the identification. Photographs of the plants and their habitats will be made. In Ottawa, variations in DNA among different populations and species will be analyzed to study species re...


Cretacous and Younger Fossil Fauna from the area along the Peel River, N.W.T., Canada
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1995 1990
Résumé: The researchers will collect specimens of fossil molluscs exposed in critical areas. This involves simply breaking rocks loose from their location. No excavation deeper than 1 foot is contemplated. Localities will be marked on topographic maps and measurements of sections exposed in river banks will be made. Analysis will be completed in California. Significant specimens will be returned to t...


Water Quality of Aklavik Clearing Lake and Associated Wetlands
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1995
Résumé: The researchers will determine what impact sewage effluent from the Hamlet of Aklavik is having on the water quality and biota downstream. A literature review on the entire Delta will be completed. Interview with people having camps on the Delta and field observations will give an idea of past and present distribution of wood frogs. Water quality samples will be taken and wetland biota describe...


Prescribed Fire and Wildlife Habitat Enhancement
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1994
Résumé: Plant samples will be collected in the field by the researcher after they become dormat for treatment in a lab experiment. Burning treatments will be conducted in the lab where environmental growing conditions and the plant physiological state at the time of the treatment can be better controled. This will be done in order to model the effects of fire on two types of shrubs....
