Long-term forest-tundra disturbance research
Principal Investigator: Wein, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1989 1988 1987
Summary: In previous research in the 1970's, experiments and surveys provided information on the recovery rates of vegetation in response to disturbances from human activities. Several predictions about the long-term recovery of vegetation were made at that time. We are now collecting data to determine if these predictions reflect what is actually occurring. This information provides information about l...

Climate change and postglacial paleoenvironmental history of peatlands in the Mackenzie Delta area
Principal Investigator: Vardy, Sheila
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: This research is part of an international project that is aimed at documenting the history of changes in the treeline during the Holocene era. While much is known about the environment and climate of this era, little is known about the development of peatlands during this time. I will collect data on peat layering, pollen and fossils in order to determine how the peatlands developed during this ...

A study of the supply of organic bromine from the ocean to the arctic atmosphere.
Principal Investigator: Moore, Robert M.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: Previous research has indicated that compounds containing bromine could play a role in the destruction of the ozone layer. This study is part of on-going research that is examining how important northern marine waters are as sources of bromine to the Arctic atmosphere. Seawater, snow and ice will be collected and assessed for bromine. In addition, measurements will be taken to determine if seaw...

Mackenzie Basin Impact Study: Land Assessment
Principal Investigator: Cohen, Stewart
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The Mackenzie Basin Impact Study will assess the potential impacts of global climatic change on the region. The component on land assessment will determine possible changes in land capability. Information on resource management goals is needed so that the study can can assess whether changes in land capability might lead to conflicts over land use....
