Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5947. The aim is to monitor vegetation changes in current climate warming for simulating past and future dynamics with an individual-based spatially explicit model (LAVESI). Therefore, our intentions are: 1. assessing stand inventories at diverse bioclimatic and environmental settings by a space-for-time approach 2. gat...

Summary: The objective is to improve knowledge about landslides in the Mackenzie Valley. The results of this study will enable better environmental impact assessments and help to reduce environmental impacts related to the construction and operation of the proposed Mackenzie Valley pipeline. As well, the results will have a broader application to a wide range of future development activities in the region....

Summary: The Gwich'in Renewable Resource Board (GRRB) is working with the Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development (DRWED) and Gwich'in Tribal Council (GTC) to develop a forest management plan for the Gwich'in Settlement Area. In order to manage the forests sustainably, we must have a good understanding of how fast trees grow and how forests regenerate after disturbances (particularly wi...

Summary: The researcher will take 5 mm diameter increment core samples from old-aged trees growing near the tree line. This sampling is not harmful to the trees. At two sites the researcher will sample about 10 trees. The samples are processed to produce ring-width and wood- density data for each annual ring. This data will then be statistically compared to meteorological data to make estimates of past cl...

Principal Investigator: Osawa, Akira
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: The researcher will conduct research on jack pine forests along the highways in Wood Buffalo National Park and will also collect stem increment cores from black spruce trees around the latitudinal tree line near Inuvik. This research will consist of remeasurement of permanent plots, foliage distribution and light measurement, establishment of pruning experiment and stem core sampling near Inuvik....

Principal Investigator: Jacoby, Jr., Gordon C.
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To collect core samples from trees for later annual ring studies that will provide information on the climate during the history of the tree....
