Summary: The objective of this study is to examine the migratory habits of epipelic algae in 10 small, shallow bodies of water in the region of the arctic circle. A 3/4 ton 4x4 pickup truck will be used to travel to each of ten ponds located 6 km north of Inuvik, N.W.T. The ponds will be sampled over a period of 2 days each between July 6 and July 20, 1999, using a technique perfected during the summer o...

Summary: The researchers will be focused on two locations. At the Havik Pak Creek site, research will involve examining the chemistry of streamwater and the chemistry of lakes within selected sub-basins during the snowmelt period. At the NRC Lake and South Lake site, the research will involve measuring how well algae communities are able to grow when they experience concentrations of suspended sediments o...

Summary: The Researchers will collect rock samples for study of fossil algae (dinoflagellates) and will determine the geological age. They will correlate findings with similar material from wells and will determine climate and environment conditions at the time the rocks were deposited....

Summary: The research team will sample approximately 20 lakes located within a 100 km radius of Tuktoyaktuk and within the immediate vicinity of Inuvik. At each lake they will analyze the water for major environmental variables and remove some of the lake mud for future analysis of algal remains....
