Summary: The crew will fly from Yellowknife to the Tundra Ecosystem Research Station camp on Daring Lake from BHP (Ekati Mine) by helicopter. The research team itinerary consists of: (1) setting up the camp; (2) sampling all of the major streams flowing into Daring Lake for chemistry and instantaneous flow; (3) walking through several basins to decide on an intensive sampling site; and (4) installing dri...

Principal Investigator: Steinecke, Karin
Licensed Year(s): 1998 1997
Summary: The project will focus on understanding, analyzing and evaluating the reactions of the northern boreal forest ecosystems in the Great Slave Lake region due to man made stress of mining, settlement and connecting activities. The project will try to develop some general conclusions, statements and model systems. The research team (2 persons) will come from Europe to Yellowknife by plane. The base wi...

Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Gord
Licensed Year(s): 1997
Summary: Activities at the Damoti Lake Project Site will be as follows; 1) Archaeology - short site visit with field survey, 2) Terrestrial work will emphasize vegetation types and their value as wildlife habitat. Specific surveys for signs of moose, furbearers, raptors and other species, 3) Aquatic studies will emphasize habitat values in both lake and stream locations. Water quality work, 4) Hydrology w...

Principal Investigator: Witteman, John
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1995
Summary: As part of overall reclamation goals of BHP, the 1996 season will focus on three components. Vegetation response will be assessed in August using the point-frame method. Within the legume, indigenous seed and shrub cutting plots, plant density will be recorded. Soil samples in replicates of three will be collected from each treatment to analyze physical and chemical characteristics. Secondly, ...

Principal Investigator: De Groot, Bill
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: Plant samples will be collected in the field by the researcher after they become dormat for treatment in a lab experiment. Burning treatments will be conducted in the lab where environmental growing conditions and the plant physiological state at the time of the treatment can be better controled. This will be done in order to model the effects of fire on two types of shrubs....

Principal Investigator: Waterway, Marcia J.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and her team will sample approximately twenty different species of sedges in a range of wetlands between Edmonton and Yellowknife. They will find out the range of conditions in which each species grows best and will determine whether broad tolerance results from inherited variability or from the ability of individuals of each species to tolerate different conditions....

Principal Investigator: Niemela, Tuomo
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: 1. Mapping of the local mycoflora 2. To collect fungi and seed material of (mainly) trees 3. A study of migratory birds...

Principal Investigator: Timoney, Kevin P.
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: To better understand the ecology of the treeline. Objectives include: determination of the treeline width, description of geographic variation and vegetation pattern change with treeline fluctuations....

Principal Investigator: Singh, T.
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To cut 100 trees in 4 areas; (approx. 60 each of 6 species - white spruce, black spruce, jackpine, aspen, balsam poplar and larch) (total 400) to serve as an indicator of which species will have the maximum potential for energy (Biomass Survey)....
