Summary: Route and site selection flights will be used to: (1) determine the location for a potential natural gas pipeline route and associated developments through the Inuvialuit Settlement Area; (2) visually inspect and confirm land forms and geotechnical features; (3) identify land features that may be important to the location or construction of a potential gas pipeline; and (4) determine the locatio...

Summary: The research team proposes to collect information about fish habitat features and use on watercourse crossings located within the tentative pipeline corridor in the Inuvialuit Settlement Area. The research team will survey 14 permanent watercourses, as well as several intermittent or seasonal watercourses and approximately 20 lakes located along the study corridor to determine aquatic characteri...

Summary: The proposed research program involves terrestrial studies in the Gwich'in Settlement Area to be conducted during 2002. Initial Vegetation investigations were conducted in summer 2001 to classify vegetation along the study corridor. This classification was essentially completed in the Gwich'in Settlement Area. Vegetation studies during 2002 will focus on locating areas of rare or uncommon plants...

Summary: The research team proposes to collect information about fish habitat features and use on watercourse crossings located within the tentative pipeline corridor in the Gwich'in Settlement Area. All aquatic studies will be conducted by three or four-person crews. Each crew will include a local researcher or Renewable Resource Council (RRC) representative. Depending upon accessibility, sites will b...

Summary: The BC Terrestrial Ecosystem Mapping inventory standard will be used to provide a uniform method of describing vegetation, soil and terrain based on air photo interpretation and field data collection. The sites will be contained within a 1 km corridor with 'bulges' in areas of special concern such as river crossings. Surveying sites accessed by helicopter, boat, vehicle and/or on foot. To avoid c...

Summary: The objective of this study is to determine how Dene in the Deh Cho transmit their knowledge of the land publicly in environmental hearings as compared to how they transmit the same knowledge privately among themselves. Travel will be by car to Hay River, Fort Simpson and Fort Providence. Semi-structured interviews with the participants will be conducted. All participants will be given a consen...

Summary: The project team will work in partnership with people from the community of Sachs Harbour NT, on Banks Island, especially those whose livelihoods are based on the land. Team members will use participatory workshop methodologies and semi-structured interviews to ensure that the results of the project accurately reflect Inuvialuit viewpoints, observations and traditions. The project will begin with ...

Summary: The objective of the study is to identify both the current and future positive and negative impacts of nature-based tourism within the Delta. The study will be carried out through the Inuvik Research Centre. Tourists will be canvassed at drop-off points and surveys will be mailed out according to visitor listings. Visitor surveys will be left at camp grounds and hotels. The same procedure will occ...

Summary: Vegetation communities along the pipeline route and over other parts of the Project area would be provisionally mapped from aerial photographs. A field survey would be undertaken with an emphasis on identifying rare plants. The study area is in the Caribou Hills IBP site 4-9, which was in part proposed because of its rare flora. July is an optimum time for a single survey. Also transect sampling ...
