1990 Summary:
During the last glacial period, 110,000 to 5,000 years to present some lakes escaped glaciation. The Researcher will retrieve sediment cores from three upland lakes to investigate the physical responses of the sediments and the biological responses of algae toward this climatic event....

1990 Summary:
The Researcher will continue to study the distribution of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the Barrow Strait area. The herbivourous plankton species which feed on the marine algae and phytoplankton is the first step in the arctic food chain. It is the herbivorous plankton which is the source of food for other animals which ultimately provides food for all other higher arctic animals....

Summary:
The researcher will carry out monthly collections of snow for analysis; ice algae from ice cores; ice crystals for analysis; snow samples during snow storms and a three-hourly traditional meteorology program....

1987
Summary:
To study epontic algae and amphipods in Resolute area; phytoplankton, kelp and Mya truncata in Barrow Strait, from small vessels. To study hunter-killed seal parts for food habit analysis....
Principal Investigator:Sheath, Robert Licensed Year(s):
1987
Summary:
To clarify freshwater red algae classification by determining key stable and non-overlapping structural characteristics needed to clearly separate species. Collecting trips will be made to all major drainage basins of the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic. Preserved samples will be analyzed by computerized microscopy and live samples will be cultured under varied growth conditions to induce potential ...

Summary:
To collect samples of common amphipod crustaceans, microscopic crustaceans, and algae in order to measure their cadmium content....
Principal Investigator:Williams, Kerstin Licensed Year(s):
1985
Summary:
Comparative studies of living diatom flora during and after ice break-up with diatom thanatocoenoces (death assemblages) preserved in the sediments....
