Résumé: 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...

Résumé: The purpose of this project is to identify the factors that promote or retard forest regrowth after seismic line cutting. Little was known about tree regeneration on seismic lines until the 2001-2003 study by Seccombe-Hett and Walker-Larsen, which showed that older lines were well-stocked but that the delay in coloniziation might be caused by dramatic subsidence and resulting water-logging. ...

Résumé: The objective is to improve knowledge about landslides in the Mackenzie Valley. The results of this study will enable better environmental impact assessments and help to reduce environmental impacts related to the construction and operation of the proposed Mackenzie Valley pipeline. As well, the results will have a broader application to a wide range of future development activities in the region....
