Summary: The objectives of this research are to study the chemistry of the groundwaters that flow into the Little Fish River near the Cache Creek overwintering hole. The role of carbonate rocks is important as there is a lot of subsurface flow in this rock type. The presence of the aufeis (winter icing) on Cache Creek is a sign of groundwater flow, and is one of the reasons that this site was chosen. We...

Summary: Evaluation of the strength of methane emissions from lakes in the Mackenzie Delta relative to lakes on the adjacent arctic tundra. Will involve collecting water and sediment samples from 27 lakes in the Mackenzie Delta near Inuvik and from an additional 27 lakes located within the Havik Pak Creek and Trail Valley Creek study basins. Evaluation of diatom (algae) communities as predictors of flood...

Principal Investigator: Ferguson, Brian
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher will visit selected locations on the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula in order to measure the physical and chemical characteristics of streams as well as to document the different types of freshwater animals found in these streams. This information will be important in assessing the fish habitats and fishery potential of the region. In addition, the information may be important in assessing ...

Principal Investigator: Nicholson, Barbara
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The Researcher will map the present distribution of boreal and subarctic wetlands in the Mackenzie River Basin. Wetland vegetation and water chemistry will be described for areas immediately surrounding permanent weather stations. The ecological relationships between climate, wetland water chemistry and wetland species distribution will be analyzed. A predictive indicator model will be built to pr...

Principal Investigator: Thomas, David
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: As part of a baseline study: (1) To collect sediment and sea water samples for chemical analysis. (2) To collect samples of benthic invertebrates at or below depths of 50 metres for subsequent analysis and classification....

Principal Investigator: Smith, Daniel W.
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To sample treated and untreated domestic water supplies for physical and chemical analysis, (e.g. turbidity, color, temperature and trace elements analysis, e.g. lead, zinc, silver and cadmium)....
