The use and comparison of traditional environment knowledge and ecological science in the assessment of Barren Ground caribou herd condition on Canada's Northwest Territories
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2000
Résumé: This study will compare and use traditional environmental knowledge (TEK) and ecological science to look at body fat markers from harvested caribou. The TEK of hunters and elders will be compared to ecological science measurements focusing on cow/calf ratios, herd productivity and prediction of animal quality. TEK will be gathered from interviews of consenting individuals and body fat levels wil...


Reconstruction of Forest Structure and function in Canadian Taiga
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1998 1997
Résumé: The research team will consist of forest ecologists. We plan to study a few jack pine stands by taking stem samples for examination of forest growth that occurred in the past. A possible effect of climate change on the growth of forests are being examined. Several trees were cut and were analyzed last year. This summer several additional stems will be sampled. When a tree is cut, we try not to dis...


Prescribed fire and vegetation dynamics in the Slave River lowlands, N.W.T.
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1998
Résumé: The principle researcher and one (or two) field assistants will be flown into Hook Lake base camp by either helicopter or fixed wing aircraft (transportation and field support confirmed by Renewable Resources, NWT). Temporary vegetation (herbaceous) transects will be established on the following prairies in the Hook Lake area: Dan's Prairie, North Prairie, Paul's Prairie, Ann's Prairie, Hook Lake ...


Studies on the past, present and future ecological impact on Canadian northern boreal forest and arctic ecosystems due to mining activities, shown at the Great Slave Lake area, Northwest Territories, Canada
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1998 1997
Résumé: 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...


Kennedy Lake Wildlife Monitoring and Traditional Sites Identification Project`
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1998
Résumé: The community monitor will carry out monitoring of wildlife, principally caribou, which are of great importance to the Lutselk'e First Nation. This will be done by directly observing their numbers, sex of animals (if this can be determined), age, condition, movements and behaviour in relation to Kennedy Lake camp and to specific worksites, such as sites where drilling or till sampling are being ca...


Kennedy Lake Project - 1996 Aquatic Studies
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1996
Résumé: The field program will be conducted during three sampling periods (spring, summer and fall). Lakes and streams in the immediate vicinity of the potential mine site will be examined. Sampling techniques will include angling, snorkeling, backpack electrofishing, beach seining, minnow traps and gill netting for fish. Plankton nets and eckman dredges will be used to collect plankton and benthic mac...


A Fire History, Fuel and Ecological Assessments of the Fort Smith, NWT area
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1996
Résumé: The study area will be sampled on a 2x2 km grid as the vegetation type of the area in question is predominantly jack pine. At each 2 km interval 3 procedures are done: 1) plant identification and % cover of each species in approx. 100 m. sq., 2) tally of the fuels (logs, twigs, branches) that fall along a triangular transect, 3) discs are removed from one large unscarred tree and one scarred tree...


Molecular population genetics and phytogeography of arctic flora.
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1995
Résumé: The researchers will collect samples of each plant species (Dryas integrifolia and Erinophorum angustifolium) communities. Non-destructive seeds and leaf samples will be randomly taken from 30 individual plants within sample patches over a one day period in each of the communities. No camp sites or use of vehicles such as ATV's will be utilized....


Persistent organic contaminants in the Great Slave Lake ecosystem.
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1995 1994
Résumé: The researchers will collect samples of sediments from the bottom of Great Slave Lake at sites near Fort Resolution and Lutsel K'e. This data will allow a better understanding of how fast sediments are deposited on the lake bottom in various regions. Researchers will also collect invertebrates and fish samples as part of an overall study of contaminants in the lake's ecosystem....


Basin-Wide Fall Burbot Collection
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1994
Résumé: The researcher will collect fish for analyses of contaminant body burdens. The sample size for each species will be 10-15 of each sex at each sampling site. Fish will be collected using set lines set in the evening and fished overnight. Blood samples will be taken from live fish and then tissues will be sampled and sent to labs for analyses. Gut contents will be examined and the fish will be aged....
