Past Climate of Ancient Forests on Banks Island
Principal Investigator: Johnson, Arthur
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2003
Summary: Fossil wood in coal deposits at two sites on Banks Island will be collected and used to estimate the climate regime under which the ancient plants of Banks Island grew. This information may provide insight into how the present day Arctic will respond to...

Ecophysiological Reconstruction of High Latitude Fossils
Principal Investigator: Jagels, Richard
Licensed Year(s): 2000
Summary: The NWT component of this study is to examine how the anatomical features of wood from the genus Larix, vary with changes in latitude. This will be compared to work done on Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut where a fossil forest of mummified wood approximately 45 million years old was found. Certain features of wood can provide clues to assess winter temperatures but these features vary with latitude....
