Summary: The objective of the work in western Victoria Island is to start establishing a postglacial history for the Beaufort Sea bowhead whale. We have done this very successfully for the Baffin Bay bowhead whale. This is a study of geological fossils, not of living whales, nor of bones at archaeological sites. This information will be used to find out how much sea ice cover has changed through time. A 2 ...

Summary: Vegetation communities along the pipeline route and over other parts of the Project area would be provisionally mapped from aerial photographs. A field survey would be undertaken with an emphasis on identifying rare plants. The study area is in the Caribou Hills IBP site 4-9, which was in part proposed because of its rare flora. July is an optimum time for a single survey. Also transect sampling ...

Summary: We plan to conduct geological and paleontological exploration and research, checking Devonian-age rocks exposed along a 1-2 km stretch of the Anderson River to look for bones and scales of fossil fish contained within the rocks. These rocks, and the fossils within them, are approximately 400 million years old. In 1995, we discovered bones of a primitive lungfish (an ancient, lobe-finned, air-bre...

Summary: The researchers will complete the last steps of a research project that began in 1991. This will include reading over compiled information with elders for verification; flying along the coastline with elders to help verify locations of places that there is some confusion over and record their coordinates with a GPS; and setting down at sites that elders suggest to talk a bit more about the histor...

Principal Investigator: Le Mouel, Jean-Francois
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher will be surveying the area of Kanghiryuak (Prince Albert Sound) on Victoria Island in order to identify archaeological features that are evident on the ground's surface. All surveying will be conducted on foot and site excavations are not planned. The study is intended to provide basic archaeolgical information on an area not previously studied....

Principal Investigator: Swayze, Ken
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher will conduct a series of short visits to areas with specific characteristics to determine if these areas have sites containing artifacts dating back thousands of years. If an older site is located, the researcher will document information about the site in order that further investigations at a later date can be conducted. Licence issued for use of Inuvik Research Centre....

Principal Investigator: Morrison, David
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The researcher will excavate two closely-allied sites, the Rita-Claire and Bison Skull sites, in order to examine the history and economy of pre-contact Inuvialuit. Licence issued for use of Inuvik Research Centre....

Summary: To prepare 26-34 Land Use Information maps at a scale of 1:250,000, covering the region between Great Bear Lake and the Arctic Coast and Banks Island. Maps will contain data on: wildlife resources, recreation and tourism considerations, forest resources, development areas, historical sites, archaelological sites, water climate and social/economic information....
