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: Squires Taylor, Cindy
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The Researcher will conduct a survey, approximately 30 km on either side of the Mackenzie River using satellite imagery. A classification will be undertaken of the area from the Mackenzie Delta to the Fort Simpson area, with wider zones along the east side to include proposed pipeline routes. The information can be plotted as colour maps to show the location of trap lines, forest fires or wildlife...

Principal Investigator: Scotter, George

Summary: The Researcher and team will carry out this survey at the request of the community of Paulatuk. They will summarize the existing knowledge of the natural resources of the Bluenose Lake Region. A total of about 20 stops will be made to examine the vegetation, soil, wildlife and physiogeography and to collect plant and soil samples....

Principal Investigator: Howland, William G.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To continue the study of plants and landforms, including areas of landslide, in the Caribou Hills. To examine the plants that have revegetated, to observe what species seem most capable of natural revegetation and how much erosion or plant growth has developed in 10 years. To prepare a species list for plants near the East Channel....

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....

Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To conduct a low level (2000 ft. above groud level) a high level (30,000 ft. A.G.L.) aerial surveys of the reindeer rangeland. Ground truthing will also take place along with collection of plants, soil and water made to complete the study....

Principal Investigator: Karasiuk, Donald
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To conduct a general wildlife, botanical and geographical survey to evaluate the area for a proposed national park. Up to 1,000 botanical, geological and soil specimens will be collected in each area....
