Climate change and postglacial paleoenvironmental history of peatlands in the Mackenzie Delta area
Principal Investigator: Vardy, Sheila
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: This research is part of an international project that is aimed at documenting the history of changes in the treeline during the Holocene era. While much is known about the environment and climate of this era, little is known about the development of peatlands during this time. I will collect data on peat layering, pollen and fossils in order to determine how the peatlands developed during this ...


Palynological studies in the Mackenzie Observatory
Principal Investigator: Jette, Helene
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1993 1992
Summary: This project continues to examine the history of plant communities in the Mackenzie River and Delta regions over the past 15,000 years. Using a hand auger, core samples of sediments are taken from lake bottoms and the sediments are analyzed for the presence of pollen and diatoms. Radiocarbon dating, a technique used to estimate age, will estimate when certain species were present in the past....


A study to reconstruct post-glacial vegetation and climate.
Principal Investigator: Ritchie, J.C.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: The sampling of lake sediment for subsequent laboratory analysis of pollen and other contained material, with the final aim to reconstruct postglacial vegetation and climate....


Licence #2253
Principal Investigator: Ritchie, J.C.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: To examine and sample the unconsolidated sediments of various small lakes in an area surrounding Hyndman Lake (50 km. radius) ESE of Inuvik, for the purpose of making laboratory analyses of Carbon - 14 age, pollen stratigraphy and other microfossils. The ultimate objective is to reconstruct the past vegetation and environment of the area....
