Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4938. The specific objectives of the project are as follows: 1) Determine the spatial extent, distribution, and timing of winter icing events in streams along the ITH through ground-based and aerial reconnaissance of stream crossings; 2) Identify relations between physical watershed characteristics and icing dynamics thro...

Summary: The overarching objective of the study is to integrate light detection and ranging (LiDAR), passive spectral, and tree ecophysiological data to link biophysical structure to ecological function in the Forest Tundra Ecotone. In so doing, the research team will be able to remotely assess the vulnerability and resilience of the forest tundra ecotone (FTE) to environmental change. The field work wi...

Principal Investigator: Graham, Mark S
Licensed Year(s): 2017
Summary: The goal of this work is to assemble a representative collection of marine invertebrates, vascular plants, lichens, mosses, liverworts and aquatic, microscopic algae for research and educational purposes at the national museum (the Canadian Museum of Nature). Specimens will be used in ongoing research projects at the Canadian Museum of Nature, focused on the biodiversity of the vascular plant, lic...

Principal Investigator: Bazely, Dawn R
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: This licence is issued for the scientific research application #923. The main objectives of this project are 1) to consult with communities about their views of community-based protocols for monitoring and reporting the presence and spread of introduced plant and insect species to the territorial government; 2) to determine community interest in developing or expanding local agricultural oppor...

Summary: The primary objective of this project is to conduct initial greenhouse and field trials in propagating seed from native plant species. This will allow the researchers to measure the growth and productivity of a number of different plant species and evaluate their potential as species for reclamation in the Inuvik region. The project activities include germination, growth and field trials for tw...

Principal Investigator: Komers, Petr
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: Eleven plant species of national significance are found in the Mackenzie Delta. Following a preliminary classification using satellite images, the presence or absence of these species within sample areas will be determined during field surveys. After field data are collected, a more refined landscape classification model will be produced. To refine and test this model, 30 sites per vegetation com...

Principal Investigator: Henry, Gregory H.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1994 1993 1991
Summary: This study continues from the research conducted in 1991 where we examined the plant community and assessed plant distribution as the subarctic forest changes to tundra. We are interested in how the smaller plant species are influenced by changes in the number of trees that are nearby as well as changes in climate. Permanent plots will be established in order to monitor any changes in the plant ...

Principal Investigator: Viren, Tom
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: Mr. Lonnie Dupre, Mr. Malcolm Vance and Mr. Jon Nierenburg will collect snow and plant material samples on behalf of Mr. Derik Muir, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Canada and Mr. Dan Jaffe, Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska, Fairbanks....

Principal Investigator: Marvin, LuDean
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To re-define the classification of the Potentilla nivea L. complex using methods based on modern plant systematics. Some of the techniques and methods to be used will include chromosome counts, pollen and seed viability tests, guard cell measurements, SEM of pollin exine variations, flavonoid chemistry and numerical analyses. Attempts will be made to determine if correlations exist between morph...
