Summary: This ongoing survey examines permafrost so as to better understand how the active layer varies locally and regionally and how it will respond to environmental change, including but not restricted to climate change. The research team will survey from For...

Principal Investigator: Nano, Francis
Licensed Year(s): 1999
Summary: The goal of this project is to find new biological products of commercial and medical importance made by bacteria associated with permafrost soils, and to describe the bacterial biodiversity associated with the soils. A total of 500 small soil samples will be collected within 200 m. of the Dempster Highway (in undeveloped areas) between Dawson and Inuvik during August 1999. The decisions for the...

Principal Investigator: Scotter, George
Licensed Year(s): 1990
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: Smith, D.W.
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....

Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: To conduct an assessment of the area for suitability as a national park; plant and soil specimens will be collected....

Principal Investigator: Smith, D.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: As part of a continuing study to assess biological changes to the terrain as a result of disturbances caused by drilling projects to: (1) revisit two oil well sites to collect samples of soil and plants; (2) revisit 3 or 4 oil well sites to collect samples of soil and plants....
