2018 Summary:
The overarching research goal of this project is to determine what conditions facilitate tree range expansion across the western Canadian boreal-tundra ecotone. Using a biogeographical, multi-trophic level approach, the research team aim to determine:
1. how multi-trophic level species composition changes across the tundra and which conditions dictate these changes; and,
2. the constraints, dri...

Summary:
Researchers are currently working on a project at Banks Island where they will measure stumps and logs of 3-million-year-old trees and attempt to understand the species that grew there, how tall the trees were, their diameters and the annual production of wood and foliage. Researchers know the Banks Island trees were spruce, larch and pine. To accurately determine what the ancient trees looked l...

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...
