Principal Investigator: Nicholson, Barbara
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The Researcher will map the present distribution of boreal and subarctic wetlands in the Mackenzie River Basin. Wetland vegetation and water chemistry will be described for areas immediately surrounding permanent weather stations. The ecological relationships between climate, wetland water chemistry and wetland species distribution will be analyzed. A predictive indicator model will be built to pr...

Principal Investigator: Slocombe, D. Scott
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: To provide a basis for planning and management of the Pingo Canadian Landmark site, required by the Inuvialuit Final Agreement, the researchers will identify the significance of the biophysical, cultural and economic resources....

Principal Investigator: Squires Taylor, Cindy
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The Researcher will conduct a survey, approximately 30 km on either side of the Mackenzie River using satellite imagery. A classification will be undertaken of the area from the Mackenzie Delta to the Fort Simpson area, with wider zones along the east side to include proposed pipeline routes. The information can be plotted as colour maps to show the location of trap lines, forest fires or wildlife...

Principal Investigator: Landhaeusser, Simon M.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his team will seed and plant plots prepared in 1990. They will determine the germination rate, establishment and the annual growth of the seedlings. The measurements will be related to the energy input which influences these microsites....

Principal Investigator: Eggertsson, Olafur
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher will sample about 100-200 driftwood logs using a chain-saw to cut off a 1-2 cm plate about 0.5 m inside the end of each log. The material will be shipped to Lund University laboratory for examination....

Principal Investigator: McLeod, Curtis
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To document fish use of shalllow side-channel areas or river margins and to estimate the effect of water level changes on fish habitat. Detailed physical data collection (water levels, velocity and sediment samples) will be undertaken, data will also be collected of fish and small invertebrate use of habitat....

Principal Investigator: Yoshie, Fumio
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To undertake a study of the tundra biomass (general vegetation) as part of a larger study on permafrost....

Principal Investigator: de Graff, Dirk
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To study the over-wintering areas for fish. The study will include sampling of fish, water, plant life, and bottom sediments for population assessments and habitat analysis....

Principal Investigator: Luch, Stephen R.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: To conduct a broad study of the biological and physical components of pingos....

Principal Investigator: Riewe, R.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: A winter track survey will be undertaken on and nearby various-age seismic lines to determine the utilization of seismic lines by fur-bearers and other wildlife. To determine if and how the distribution and movements of wildlife are affected by seismic lines....
