Summary: To conduct studies to determine the possible effects of oil and gas exploration and development on the behaviour of the bowhead whale....

Principal Investigator: Smith, D.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To collect small quantities of soil and vegetation from samples plots which are located close to selected well sites including Gulf Oil, SIKU E-21 and Gulf Oil, Parsons D-20. This work is part of a long study on the biological effects of waste spillage from oil drilling....

Principal Investigator: Hobbs, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To develop a capability to track and tag large cetaceans (whales). This capability will allow for tracking of these mammals in order to better understand their behaviour and to assess possible impacts of oil and gas developments on them....

Principal Investigator: Smith, D.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To document changes to the vegetation and soil caused by drilling operations and support operations (e.g. air strips and roads). To identify the agent or substance of these changes (e.g. drilling muds and vehicles). To document how the vegetation and soil have recovered....

Principal Investigator: French, Hugh
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: (1) To undertake geomorphic studies and to study special permafrost formations; (2) inspection of oil well sites to determine rehabilitation and assess long term impacts of these developments....

Principal Investigator: Hill, Dick
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: The collection of stickleback to assist in analyzing drilling muds in the Beaufort Sea area....

Principal Investigator: Smith, D.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: As part of a continuing study to assess biological changes to the terrain as a result of disturbances caused by drilling projects to: (1) revisit two oil well sites to collect samples of soil and plants; (2) revisit 3 or 4 oil well sites to collect samples of soil and plants....

Principal Investigator: Sharp, P.L.
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To evaluate methods for: (a) dispersing birds from oil spill areas and (b) deterring birds from entering oil spill areas....

Principal Investigator: Hutchinson, Tom
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To determine the degree of recovery of crude oil spills made in 1972 and 1973 on taiga at Norman Wells and tundra at Tuktoyaktuk. To determine the effects of a 1975 diesel oil spill on taiga at Norman Wells and to compare the effects with crude oil spills made in comparable terrain. To examine the pattern of vegetational recovery of these areas. To examine the effects of crude oil spills made o...
