Principal Investigator: Ott, Bruce
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1989
Summary: Dr. Ott and his team will be collecting baseline environmental data on natural conditions at Nicholas Lake. This includes collecting water, soils and vegetation baseline data as well as conducting fisheries and habitat surveys. Archaeology and heritage su...

Principal Investigator: Little, Lois M.
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: The Dene Nation asked the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs to conduct a survey about fish caught in the Mackenzie Valley. Lutra Assoc. will be training someone in each community to ask questions like this: How many fish are not normal and why? Where are these caught? How much fish are people eating? Is this changing because more abnormal fish are being caught? What would happen if pe...

Principal Investigator: Brodo, Irwin
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Dr. Brodo and two students (Mr. Lutzoni and Mr. Proulx) will be collecting and identifying lichens from different parts of the NWT. If there are differences, they want to know why....

Principal Investigator: Wright, Robert A.
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: to describe the differences in seedling drought resistance between jack pine populations from the geographic and environmental extremes of the range...

Principal Investigator: Furniss, Malcolm
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: to determine if these two spruce beetle species are distinct; to compare biology, host tree relationships, genetics, and anatomical features of these two species (one is Eurasian and one is North American)...

Principal Investigator: Boileau, Marc G.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987 1986
Summary: To investigate the ecology and population genetics of crustacean zooplankton; to study the genetic diversity of the major species of copepods and their dispersal since deglaciation; to clarify the taxonomy and improve distribution records....

Principal Investigator: Smith, B.Sc., Geoffrey M.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: 1. To collect fish to obtain samples of muscle and liver tissue for heavy metal analysis; 2. To sample stream and lake habitat areas to evaluate fish species composition, density and habitat use....

Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Glen M
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To use fossil pollen and plant macrofossils from small lakes to reconstruct the response of plant populations in the treeline zone to climatic change. Modern pollen surface samples from small lakes in the treeline zone will be collected to aoid in the interpretation of the fossil pollen samples. The study area will include the boreal forest, forest-tundra and tundra zones near Yellowknife (115 W...

Principal Investigator: Davis, Stuart
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To determine the feasibility of Arctic Char stocking in Jack Fish Lake, for a commercial scale farm and hatchery and to determine the economic and nutritional costs and benefits of foods derived from local fish silage versus imported commercially prepared feeds....

Principal Investigator: Zallen, Morris
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To identify key biological resources (principally migratory birds and mammals) and aspects of human land use (communities and settlements, resource harvesting areas) within or adjacent to proposed flight corridors. Potential concerns related to the above will be addressed by assessing the degree of disturbance from noise & emissions from aircraft. This research includes gathering socio-economic ...
