Climate change and postglacial paleoenvironmental history of peatlands in the Mackenzie Delta area
Principal Investigator: Vardy, Sheila
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: This research is part of an international project that is aimed at documenting the history of changes in the treeline during the Holocene era. While much is known about the environment and climate of this era, little is known about the development of peatlands during this time. I will collect data on peat layering, pollen and fossils in order to determine how the peatlands developed during this ...


Holocene paleoecology of the central Canadian Arctic Islands
Principal Investigator: Gajewski, Konrad
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2004 2001 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: This ongoing project examines how vegetation has changed in response to changes in climate. I am using the history of vegetation, as recorded by the fossilized pollen that is present in lake sediments, to determine how vegetation in the arctic has changed over thousands of years. Fossilized pollen is collected by taking core samples from lake bottoms on Prince of Wales and Bathurst Islands. Pre...
