Measuring Tundra Productivity and Vegetation Structure Using Satellite Imagery
Principal Investigator: O'Brien, Daniel
Licensed Year(s): 2000
Summary: An understanding of arctic vegetation structure, composition and productivity is critical to climate change monitoring, wildlife management and sustainable resource management. Remote sensing could prove to be an effective tool for studies in the arctic because the region is large and hard to reach. Satellite imagery will be used to estimate productivity of the land and this will be compared to ...

Rat River / Fish Creek Fish Hole Spring Reconnaissance
Principal Investigator: Ferguson, Brian
Licensed Year(s): 1996
Summary: Study will examine the location and extent of suitable overwintering habitat for charr in Rat River. Another objective is to document the location of spring upwellings at the overwintering site on Fish Creek. Knowledge of winter flow and temperature regimes of the spring and the effect of air temperature on the availability of overwintering habitat will provide managers with some ability to pred...

Co-management and Aboriginal Participation in National Parks of the Inuvialuit Settlement Region.
Principal Investigator: Johnston, Brian
Licensed Year(s): 1995
Summary: Assess the processes by which the mandates of cooperative wildlife management in the national parks are achieved in the Inuvialuit Settlement region. Examine the relationships and attitudes of the responsible organizations in order to reach a qualitative assessment of the operational side of wildlife management in the region....

The Role of Traditional Knowledge in Inuvialuit Marine Mammal Management
Principal Investigator: Ris, Mats
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: The purpose of this study is to understand how Inuvialuit traditional knowledge and hunting of marine mammals has influenced the way local and regional management strategies are built up. Secondly, the researcher will make a comparison with other forms of marine mammal harvesting in circumpolar regions. Such a comparison will make it easier to understand the nature of subsistence hunting in the n...

Community development in Porcupine caribou co-management
Principal Investigator: Kofinas, Gary P
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: The aim of this project is to analyze the participation of community members in decision-making for the purposes of co-managing the Porcupine caribou herd. The study will examine the costs and benefits of community involvement, the role of information and communication in decision-making, and the effectiveness of this management system in meeting community needs. The study will include the commu...

Genetics and postglacial dispersal of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) and arctic charr (S. alpinus) in the western arctic
Principal Investigator: Wilson, Chris C.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The researcher will be collecting lake trout and/or arctic charr from lakes in the vicinities of Hay River, Inuvik, Paulatuk and Tuktoyaktuk in order to examine the distributions of these species. Samples of liver and muscle tissue will be collected from these fish for genetic analyses: this research will provide information about how different populations are related to each other (i.e., their o...

Broad whitefish tagging project
Principal Investigator: Babaluk, John
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The researchers will tag broad whitefish in the Mackenzie River Delta in the vicinity of Horseshoe Bend. During this season, fish are moving to areas further upstream. Tagging will provide information about the movements, growth, survival and numbers of whitefish and will contribute to their management. Local residents will take part in a training program on the methods of tagging fish....

Wildlife Key Habitat Mapping Project in the northern Richardson Mountains area
Principal Investigator: Staniforth, Jennifer
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: Effective wildlife management requires knowing the location, distribution and number of habitats that are important to wildlife. Within the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR), there is some information on the habitat requirements of several species but descriptions of these habitats and information about how these habitats are important to wildlife are not documented. This study, supported by th...
