The Radiologic Incidence of Spondylolisis and Spondylolisthesis in the Canadian Inuit
Principal Investigator: Corkal, J.
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: Certain defects of the lumbar spine are thought to occur at a very high rate in the Canadian Inuit. This has been previously documented in the literature by anthropological studies of Inuit skeletons dating back some 400 years: these studies have found a particular type of defect to be present at an incidence of 30-40%. The incidence in a Caucasion population is 5%....

Canadian Intersite Decomposition Experiment
Principal Investigator: Wein, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: Forestry researchers tend to study in detail their local forests yet for major issues such as global warming, it is necessary to conduct research over larger areas to understand impacts on Canadian forests and industry. This study attempts to better describe rates of decomposition and nutrient mineralization across Canadian forests in order to understand how forests are supplied with nutrients fo...

The Broad Whitefish Traditional Knowledge Ecological Study
Principal Investigator: Freeman, Milton M.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: Under the direction of the Aklavik and Inuvik HTA's, the research team will carry out interviews with Inuvialuit that are knowledgable about the broad whitefish and its fishery in the local waters. Data to be obtained include information on the traditional fishery, changes to this fishery, knowledge about the breeding and feeding habits, migrations, parasites and diseases, and effects of local en...

Mackenzie Basin Impact Study: Land Assessment
Principal Investigator: Cohen, Stewart
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The Mackenzie Basin Impact Study will assess the potential impacts of global climatic change on the region. The component on land assessment will determine possible changes in land capability. Information on resource management goals is needed so that the study can can assess whether changes in land capability might lead to conflicts over land use....

Electrophoretic Studies of North American Halictid Bees
Principal Investigator: Taylor, John S.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher and his team will collect specimens of bees that belong to the subgenus Evylaeus (Family Halictid), which are small "ant-like" bees sometimes called "sweat bees." The researcher would like to determine how they are related to the European species, which, unlike the Evylaeus, are social in their behaviour. This study may shed some light on the evolution of social behaviour in bees....

Decision-Making Structures in Land Claims Settlement Areas: Implications for Sovereignty and Security
Principal Investigator: Zellen, Barry
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher and his team will engage in a comparative analysis of the Alaska, Inuvialuit and Inuit land claims settlements and their respective decision-making structures, using a case-study review in three settlement areas. There will also be some additional comparison of James Bay and Northern Quebec settlements....

Spectral Properties of Tundra Surfaces
Principal Investigator: Pearce, Cheryl M.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The researcher will complete the intensive sampling of the Arctic Coastal Plain west of Shallow Bay on the Mackenzie River Delta to the Alaska border, where tundra surfaces could differ from those east of the Mackenzie Delta, high arctic tundra on northern Cape Bathurst, and additional treeline sites between Inuvik and the Horton River....

Quaternary Geology of the Beaufort Sea Coastal Plain
Principal Investigator: Vincent, Jean-Serge
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The researcher and his team will complete a detailed paleomagnetic sampling of the glacial and nonglacial sediments in the Morgan Bluffs of eastern Banks Island, and collect samples of boulders for Chlorine 36 dating. The data will allow the team to confirm or disconfirm previously proposed correlations and establish on a firmer basis the chronological framework for one of the longest sequences o...

Planning for Conservation and Development: Park, Regional, and Ecosystem Approaches
Principal Investigator: Slocombe, D. Scott
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The researcher and his team will compare conservation and development planning methods and processes in several resource-based regions of the world to assess to what extent such processes take into account environmental and ecosystem problems and needs....

The Attitude to Labour and the Problems of the Adaptation of the Indigenous People of the North in the Condition of the Modern Technological Revolution
Principal Investigator: Popkov, Yuri V.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher will determine the dependance of aboriginal employment on land and resources, growth and decline of oil company activity, price cuts on products of the traditional economy, the current system of social assistance, government economic policy, and the readiness of native people to enter the labour market now and in the future within the region....
