Reconstruction of Holocene Environments
Principal Investigator: Begin, Christian
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The research team will investigate a few localities to determine the best sites to study eolian deposits (sand dunes) and features related to permafrost degradation. Samples of granular and organic deposits will be taken....

Hydrogeologic Investigations of Carbon Dioxide Rich Groundwaters in the Flat River Valley Region, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: Hamilton, Stewart M.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The team will investigate the hydrogeology, hydrogeochemistry and geology of the region and attempt to determine the cause and extent of carbon dioxide rich springs in the Flat River Valley region. They will also determine if a fault exists in the valley and if the springs delineate an active seismic zone....

Spatial Dynamics of the distribution of the genus Dryas in the Canadian arctic and subarctic zones
Principal Investigator: Roy, Alain P.
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1989
Summary: Mr. Roy will carry out field work in the MacKenzie Mountains, Macmillan Pass and Tungsten areas. At each site he will examine the vegetation and the soil. Dryas specimens will be collected. he will examine other plants of the community and a small soil sample approximately 200 grams will be taken....

Paleosol Evolution, Correlation and Associated Mineralization, Thelon and Hornby Bay Basins, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: Gall, Quentin
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The researcher will collect and document rock samples of the paleosol (ancient soil) developed beneath the sedimentary rocks of the 1.7 billion year old Hornby Bay Basin....

Terrain Disturbances by a winter road along the lower Mackenzie River, N.W.T. An assessment of morphological, thermal and vegetational changes of various Subarctic Surface Types
Principal Investigator: Gnieser, Christopher H.
Licensed Year(s): 1989
Summary: The researcher will study about 20 sites along the outlined winter road for assessment of potential terrain disturbances....

Reclamation of Simulated Transport Corridors in Subarctic Forests
Principal Investigator: Kershaw, G. Peter
Licensed Year(s): 1989 1988 1987
Summary: Dr. Peter Kershaw and his team will continue his work, begun in 1985, to assess and monitor the environmental characteristics of disburbed and undisturbed forest areas, in relation to revegetation and rehabilitation of pipeline corridors. His work will test impacts from northern crude oil spills....

Horticultural Crop Production in Northern Canada: Fiberoptic Collection and Transmission System for the Purpose of Food Production
Principal Investigator: Hachey, Gene O.E.
Licensed Year(s): 1989
Summary: Mr. Gene Hachey and his team will be examining a new method for producing horticultural crops on a year round basis in areas North of 60. The project will build a prototype light collection and transmission device and will evaluate the potential for irradiating horticultural crops grown in an opaque, insulated structure such as a green house....

Testing the WCM Surface Wind Prediction Model at High Latitudes
Principal Investigator: Pickford, Stewart G.
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Dr. Pickford has developed a computer model that predicts how forest fires will spread in relation to the weather conditions. However, this model was developed for use in southern Canada where wind conditions are different. He wants to collect weather information from the central Mackenzie Valley area so that he can evaluate whether his model is useful in the north....

Late Pleistocene Lake Mackenzie, NWT
Principal Investigator: Smith, Derald
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Dr. Smith and his two students are trying to find out the extent of a glacial lake that once stretched from the Redstone River to Fort Good Hope. They are collecting samples of ancient, buried plant material from river cutbanks to see how old these deposits are and to determine what kinds of plants once grew along the western shores of the lake long ago....

Development of Skinflows, Fosheim Peninsula, Ellesmere Island
Principal Investigator: Lewkowicz, Antoni G
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 1988 1987
Summary: Over time, hillsides slowly collapse for various reasons. Dr. Lewkowicz and his assistants are looking for a certain type of slope failure called skinflows. They want to know map the locations of skinflows in this area and they are going to measure them and determine their age by extracting some soil samples....
