Principal Investigator: Darnell, David M.
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application No.1095. The objective of this research is to obtain specimens of the major plant species comprising the plant communities found in the northwestern Northwest Territories, especially those riparian ones not found in the adjacent Yukon Territory. The researchers will employ standard botanical field techniques and equipment...

Licensed Year(s): 2010 2009
Summary: PLEASE NOTE: this ARI licence is for fieldwork happening OUTSIDE TUKTUT NOGAIT NATIONAL PARK. The research permit for work inside TNPP is issued by Parks Canada. The long term goals of this research are to: 1) produce the first “Flora of the Canadian Arctic”, a field guide to all plant species of the Canadian arctic; 2) implement an Arctic Plant website to provide easy access to information; a...

Principal Investigator: Miller, Glenn D
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: The objective of this research is to identify and document valued vegetation components in the vicinity of proposed winter activities. Each selected site will be assessed for important vegetation components, such as the potential for: rare plants and vegetation communities. The research will include photo documentation and visual observations to characterize each site for vegetation features. Inf...

Licensed Year(s): 2006
Summary: The main activities in this program are: 1) forming a project steering committee involving industry, aboriginal groups and government; 2) identifying plant species suitable for revegetation; 3) developing practices for commercial production; and 4) identifying employment opportunities. Seed collection will be carried out in late August through to mid-September. Sites will be accessed by boat an...

Licensed Year(s): 2006
Summary: Indigenous rare plants exist in the NWT, including in parts of the Mackenzie Mountains and the Beaufort Sea coast (especially in areas that were not glaciated). Alien species may be spreading along roads. There are 94 species of alien plants, transported to the territories by human activity. Surveys pf alien and rare plants will be conducted along roads in the North, South Slave and DehCho reg...

Summary: Increased industrial development across the Northwest Territories is creating the necessity to reclaim and revegetate the land during and/or after development. Land management policy recognizes the need to maintain ecosystems, biodiversity, and habitat, and is implementing stringent policies for land use. Northern environments are particularly slow to recover from disturbance because of the short ...

Principal Investigator: Harris, James
Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: The researchers will travel to Cape Bathurst Peninsula by charter from Inuvik and spend 2-3 days. They will collect a small number of representative specimens of Braya populations along with a general collection of associated plant species. All plant spe...

Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: The proposed research program involves terrestrial studies in the Inuvialuit Settlement Area to be conducted during 2002. Initial vegetation investigations were conducted in summer 2001 to classify vegetation along the study corridor. This classificatio...

Principal Investigator: Gillespie, Lynn J.
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2000
Summary: The research team will make short visits to many sites in order to observe how plants vary morphologically and genetically from site to site across the arctic region. They will visit Mould Bay on Prince Patrick Island, Warrington Bay and McCormick Inlet on Melville Island. At each site the researchers will make observations on the morphology, ecology, reproductive biology, and distribution of eac...

Principal Investigator: Aiken, Susan
Licensed Year(s): 2001 1999
Summary: The purpose of this project is to update the last work on the plants of the Canadaian far north "Flora of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago" which was published in 1957 by A.E. Porsild. The researcher will be based at Polar Bear Cabin and Green Cabin both in Aulavik National Park. Photgraphs will be taken of plants and plant habitat. Some plants will be collected an placed in presses, or a few leave...
