Principal Investigator: Thomas, Don
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To collect data on late winter habitats and diets of carioub on the Boothia Peninsula for pipeline assessments; to determine how long productivity rates can remain at low levels on Melville and Prince Patrick Islands; to examine growth indices of arctic willow and their relationship to past productivity of caribou; to make management of insular and near insular populations of caribou easier and mo...
