NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To complete a three year study concerned with the detailed investigation of ground ice characteristics by mapping ground ice distribution and stratigraphic relations along with collection of sediment and ice samples for grain, size, moisture content, isotope and crystallographic analysis. Field investigation will utilize existing ground ice slumps and permafrost exposures along coastal bluffs in ...

Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To analyze the environmental processes that control plant distribution and succession on shorelines of the Mackenzie Delta. Specific objectives of the research are to examine (1) the colonization and establishment on exposed mudflats and other newly-available sites, (2) the responses of the shoreline plants to fluctuations in the biophysical environment, and (3) the chemical and physical properti...

Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: A preliminary study will be undertaken to confirm the safety and the immunogenicity of the Connaught conjugate vaccine for native populations of the NWT (Phase I). This will be determined by the frequency and severity of adverse responses to three doses of the vaccine by a sample of infants 2-3 months of age drawn from Inuit and Dene populations. Parental consent will be obtained for all those in...

Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To confirm and priorize significance of three potential marine natural areas of Canadian significance previously identified in the Beaufort Sea marine region....

Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To continue the study of plants and landforms, including areas of landslide, in the Caribou Hills. To examine the plants that have revegetated, to observe what species seem most capable of natural revegetation and how much erosion or plant growth has developed in 10 years. To prepare a species list for plants near the East Channel....

Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To study river ice jams and break up in the Fort Simpson region, to study Mackenzie River and Delta ice break up as well as the water balance in Mackenzie Delta Lakes. To study snow-soil interactions near Resolute Bay....

Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To study and collect insects and mites along the Dempster Highway from the Yukon border to Inuvik and in the northern Richardson Mountains west of Inuvik....

Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To re-define the classification of the Potentilla nivea L. complex using methods based on modern plant systematics. Some of the techniques and methods to be used will include chromosome counts, pollen and seed viability tests, guard cell measurements, SEM of pollin exine variations, flavonoid chemistry and numerical analyses. Attempts will be made to determine if correlations exist between morph...

Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To continue the study and come to understand natural hydrocarbon distributions and primary productivity in the oil exploration zone of the Mackenzie Estuary. To predict the impact of projected industrial discharges of hydrocarbons, planned or accidental, by studying and model processes governing natural distributions of the same compounds....

Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To carry out stratigraphic section measurement, geological mapping and sampling of rocks for laboratory analysis....
