NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Pollard, Wayne H
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To complete a three year study concerned with the detailed investigation of ground ice characteristics by mapping ground ice distribution and stratigraphic relations along with collection of sediment and ice samples for grain, size, moisture content, isotope and crystallographic analysis. Field investigation will utilize existing ground ice slumps and permafrost exposures along coastal bluffs in ...

Principal Investigator: Barreto, Luis
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: A preliminary study will be undertaken to confirm the safety and the immunogenicity of the Connaught conjugate vaccine for native populations of the NWT (Phase I). This will be determined by the frequency and severity of adverse responses to three doses of the vaccine by a sample of infants 2-3 months of age drawn from Inuit and Dene populations. Parental consent will be obtained for all those in...

Principal Investigator: Macdonald, R.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To continue the study and come to understand natural hydrocarbon distributions and primary productivity in the oil exploration zone of the Mackenzie Estuary. To predict the impact of projected industrial discharges of hydrocarbons, planned or accidental, by studying and model processes governing natural distributions of the same compounds....

Principal Investigator: Stirling, Ian
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1988 1987
Summary: To capture, eartag, and dye-mark polar bears using immobilizing darts and helicopters; collect reproductive organs of seals and polar bears from Inuk hunters throughout the NWT in conjunction with NWT Wildlife Service, tape record underwater vocalizations of marine mammals....

Principal Investigator: Farmer, D.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To study the generation of noise due to ice, the propagation of sound under ice, the character of noice prior to summer ice break-up and the seasonal variation of ice noise....

Principal Investigator: Mathias, Richard G.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To study the effectiveness of two treatment protocols in controlling sexually transmitted diseases in communities in the N.W.T. The treatments are efficacious in individuals but it is not known which one will be better for overall community reduction in the numbers of cases of sexually transmitted disease....

Principal Investigator: Abele, Frances
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To carry out research on Transport Canada's Native Fligh Service Station Operators Training Program, and to study factors that contribute to success or failure of that program....

Principal Investigator: Norton, Pamela
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To monitor the white whale migration to and distribution and abundance in the Mackenzie Estuary. Secondary objectives are to observe white whale behaviour, to record whale-vessel interactions (if possible) and to quantify the number of whales missed by observers under normal survey conditions. All marine mammal sightings will be recorded....

Principal Investigator: Ring, Richard A.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To continue research on the ecological, physiological and biochemical aspects of insect freezing tolerance and supercooling abilities....

Principal Investigator: French, Hugh
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To conduct permafrost and geomorphological studies....
