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: Hastings, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To study the area to determine how the climate affects the vegetation and how the vegetation in turn encourages certain types of small animal habitation....
