Principal Investigator: Jalkotzy, Peter
Licensed Year(s): 2001 2000
Summary: The research team will conduct a lake and fish habitat survey, to identify which water bodies have the following characteristics: overwintering fish, lake depths greater than 3.5 feet and water quality conditions which are not suitable for overwintering fish. The research team will consist of 3 crews, 4 men/crew. Crews will receive their safety and sampling orientation in Tuktoyaktuk Harbour at ...

Principal Investigator: Fernet, Dave
Licensed Year(s): 2000
Summary: The objectives of this study are to ensure all activities associated with seismic activity in the Parson's Lake area are within relevant guidelines for the protection of the environment. Personnel will commute by helicopter from Inuvik daily and guidelines for protection of wildlife during overflights will be observed. Seismic testing will be carried out approximately 5 km northeast to approximat...

Principal Investigator: Anderson, David G
Licensed Year(s): 2000 1999 1998
Summary: The objective of this study is to develop a forest management plan that is sensitive to the priorities identified by the Gwich'in Elders and contemporary Gwich'in forest users. A total of four graduate students and their assistants will work with forestry experts employed by the Gwich'in Renewable Resources Board (GRRB) both to supplement an existing database and to synthesize the material into a...

Principal Investigator: Reimer, K.J.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
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 ...

Principal Investigator: Adams, Peter
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1991 1990 1988 1987
Summary: The project will continue to take measurements of the accumulation of snow on the glaciers and try to ascertain how much snow and ice has been lost or gained since it was measured in 1990. Limnology experiments will be conducted on Colour Lake. Ice regimes will be monitored....

Principal Investigator: Gilbert, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991 1990 1988
Summary: The researcher wishes to recover cores of sediment about 2 meters long from the sea floor near Expedition Fiord. These cores will provide confirmation of past acoustic surveys and direct evidence of changes in the physical and biological environment of the fiord. Seven sites in the fiord will have sediment cores removed....

Principal Investigator: Kershaw, G. Peter
Licensed Year(s): 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1990
Summary: The fieldwork will be carried out to investigate what happens after the surface of the land is changed by clearing of the trees, trenching of the soil or spilling of crude-oil. Ways to lessen these disturbances will be tested to see which are best....

Principal Investigator: Cosens, Susan
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: In consultation and co-operation with the community of Arctic Bay, the Researcher and team will record sounds made by beluga whales. This study is part of a program that was begun in 1986 to determine whether underwater shipping noise interferes with beluga communication....

Principal Investigator: Green, Roger
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To undertake a study of the potential impact of development projects on the bottom sediments and benthic organisms....

Principal Investigator: Pratt, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To measure the quantity and type of submicroscopic particles in the air and to determine the acidity of rainwater. The study will also help to determine possible human influences on the climate....
