This research program focuses on high-resolution reconstruction of past hydrology, ecology and climate of the Peace-Athabasca (PAD) and Slave River deltas (SRD) from natural archives, including lake sediments and tree rings, supported by comprehensive field-based studies of modern hydrology, limnology and aquatic ecology. The PAD and SRD have broad ecological and cultural significance and are ecos...

1990 Summary:
The Researchers will collect small samples of surficial materials for sedimentological, geochemical and paleoecological analysis. They will map, describe and explain the unconsolidated deposits, landforms, permafrost and organic cover and study patterns of glacial dispersal and drift geochemistry....

1988 Summary:
Dr. Glen MacDonald and his team will be obtaining lake sediment cores, samples of pine needles, cones, seeds and tree-ring cores from 2 sites near Hay River. Fossil pollen from the sediment will be used to document the chronology of pine migration into the NWT following the last ice-age. The study will be used to understand postglacial history of northern plants....
