Butterfly Inventory in the NWT
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2005
Résumé: Butterflies are easily studied and can provide valuable information of changes occuring in northern ecosystems - including climate changes, and habitat changes. Many areas of the NWT have few studies on insects; therefore, this inventory work can inprove the baseline information of these species. The main investigator will travel with other NWT biologists to remote study sites and near comm...


The relation between climate and abundance cycles in barrenland caribou herds, NWT.
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2005
Résumé: Caribou populations fluctuate over long time spans. However, long-term records of population cycles are scarce. Dendrochronology and hoof scars left on the surficial roots of spruce trees across caribou trails will be used to reconstruct the population...


Development of a monitoring program for the Whooping Crane breeding environment
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2004
Résumé: This project will develop a long term monitoring strategy to access the seasonal productivity of wetlands in the breeding area. Preliminary sampling in 2004 will familiarize the incoming graduate student with the breeding pond region and allow various sa...

chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2004
Résumé: The Department of Transportation (DOT), Government of the Northwest Territories is responsible for the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of safe transportation infrastructure, capable of meeting user needs in the NWT. As part of the DOT's o...


Establishment of Permanent Monitoring Plots in South Slave Region
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2003
Résumé: A network of permanent monitoring plots (PMPs) is required for assessing forest growth and yield in the NWT. These PMPs will be used to: 1) obtain information to assess the rate of forest growth and determine current and potential yield of various fores...


Morphological Diversity in Lake Trout within Large North American Lakes: Effects of Lake Physiography on Differentiation between Deep and Shallow Forms
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2002
Résumé: The immediate objective of the research is to determine whether unique morphotypes of lake trout exist in Great Slave Lake. The long term objective is to determine the distribution and ecology of unique morphotypes in North America. By studying Great Sla...


Insect Biodiversity and Biogeography along the Thelon River, NWT
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2002 2000
Résumé: The primary focus of the study is the numbers and kinds of insects that live in the Thelon River at its valley. A previous study in 2000 on the Horton River revealed a number of species that are not represented in Alaska and the Yukon. Collections from t...


Analysis of Natural Thinning Processes in Mixed Species Forests.
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2000
Résumé: The main objective of the proposed research is to collect extensive data of tree size and stand density from mixed forests of Jack pine and quaking aspen in Wood Buffalo National Park and to examine theoretically the patterns of quantitative forest development with special reference to the phenomenon of 'natural thinning' in even-aged forests. The research team consisting of forest ecologists will...


Environmental Assessment for Petroleum Exploration, Drilling and Development, Cameron Hills, NWT.

Temporal Variability of Stable Carbon and Nitrogen within the Food Webs of Wood Buffalo National Park
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2000
Résumé: The extensive wetland complex in Wood Buffalo National Park (WBNP) is composed of a mosaic of shallow ponds that are unique in Canada. They are also the nesting grounds of the last migratory population of Whooping Cranes. Water, organic matter, aquatic plants and small aquatic life forms will be sampled from ponds just outside the nesting area and 0.5 km from the highway. The research team will ...
