Principal Investigator: Swystun, Heather
Licensed Year(s): 2002 2001
Summary: Two individuals from each of the communities of Inuvik, Aklavik, Tsiigehtchic, Fort McPherson, and Tuktoyaktuk will be interviewed about their local knowledge of tundra swan biology. Information collected will educate the researcher about local tundra swan ecology and may help generate questions that are important to communities. Interview methods will follow those used by the Arctic Borderlands E...

Principal Investigator: Metikosh, Serge
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The research team proposes to collect information about fish habitat features and use on 111 watercourse crossings along the tentative pipeline corridor in the Gwich'in Settlement Area. The amount of work to be completed at each watercourse crossing will be determined during the reconnaissance level survey and will largely be driven by their size and flow characteristics. Smaller watercourses (t...

Principal Investigator: Raillard, Martin
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: This project will take place in Tuktuk Nogait National Park in 1998 and 1999. The objective of the project is to map the vegetation of the park. As many areas of the Park as possible will be hiked and the various vegetation communities along the hiking route will be put into one of several classes, and their exact geographical location recorded. Once the field season is over, these various geograp...

Principal Investigator: Sutor, Greg
Licensed Year(s): 1997
Summary: Vegetation communities along the pipeline route and over other parts of the Project area would be provisionally mapped from aerial photographs. A field survey would be undertaken with an emphasis on identifying rare plants. The study area is in the Caribou Hills IBP site 4-9, which was in part proposed because of its rare flora. July is an optimum time for a single survey. Also transect sampling ...

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: 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....
