1993 Summary:
Characteristics of ancient sediments reveal information about the chemical, biological and physical environment within which these sediments were formed. By studying the patterns of rocks found in the north Baffin area, I hope to discover how much of the formation of these rocks was due to the algae that lived in ancient oceans, and how much was due to the chemical makeup of the water. The resea...

1992 Summary:
In this ongoing research, we plan to sample lake water and lake sediments from a number of study sites located near Resolute. At each lake we will analyze the water and mud samples for the presence of pollution (i.e., black carbon particles) as well as species of algae. This data will provide information about the past environment and indicate environmental change....

Summary:
The Researchers will collect sediments, algae and molluscs from the waters of Cambridge Bay. Three locations will be sampled: an area receiving drainage from the radar site, an area similarly affected by the hamlet and a reference site located away from the influence of both. Samples will be evaluated in terms of occurance, population and distribution. They will be analyzed for substances arising ...
