Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The project examines the effects of a high-density muskoxen populations on a sedge meadow plant community. Two fences exist at the study site to exclude muskoxen and thus provide an ungrazed area used for comparison with the grazed area. Plant species abundance, plant height, grazing use of plant species and weight of plants are some of the data that will be compared among grazed and ungrazed are...

Principal Investigator: Mate, Bruce R.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The Researchers will once again attempt to tag 12 bowhead whales. They will study how the whales move about during the feeding season and where and when they migrate west out of the Beaufort Sea. They will determine whether the migratory routes or timing vary between different kinds of animals and will determine the dive habits of the tagged animals....

Principal Investigator: Reist, James D.
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: This work is a continuation of a 3 year FJMC funded study to determine genetic stock and structure of the broad whitefish population utilized by communities of the Mackenzie River basin....

Principal Investigator: Slocombe, D. Scott
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: To provide a basis for planning and management of the Pingo Canadian Landmark site, required by the Inuvialuit Final Agreement, the researchers will identify the significance of the biophysical, cultural and economic resources....

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: DeBruyn, Adrian
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The Researcher will investigate the biology of predaceous insects in terrestrial and freshwater habitats. An inventory of predaceous insects will be conducted through trapping and collecting. Their prey and habits will also be identified....

Principal Investigator: Eger, Judith
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The investigators will study the chromosomal and genetic variation in collared lemmings to assess the effect of isolation of different populations in glacial refugia. They will compare this species with the brown lemming....

Principal Investigator: Marsh, Philip
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The research will study changes in the water levels of a variety of lakes in the Mackenzie Delta. Investigations will include consideration of factors controlling the lake levels, introduction of floodwater from the Mackenzie River, rainfall on to the lake, smowmelt runoff into the lakes and evaporation from the lakes....

Principal Investigator: Roney, Keith
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1991
Summary: The Researcher will gather information by aerial reconnaissance to take photographs of nesting areas; a ground study by boat to photograph and take notes on the habitat of nesting birds; a library search for information on the Mackenzie Delta and will conduct interviews with local researchers and residents for additional information....

Principal Investigator: Bond, W.A.
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990 1989
Summary: Since 1989 the Department of Fisheries and Oceans have conducted trap netting studies to monitor fish movements in Wood Bay near the mouth of the Anderson River. This is the last year of this study. They will examine the movements of the Arctic cisco within Liverpool Bay....
