Trace Contaminant Transformation and Fate in Northern Ecosystems
Principal Investigator: Siciliano, Steven D
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: This study will: (1) assess sulfate-reducing bacterial diversity and mercury transformations; and (2) analyze the toxicity of contaminants deposited on vegetation and soil to wildlife that may digest it. Little is known about transformations of mercury...


Canadian Arctic Plants: Systematics and Evolution
Principal Investigator: Gillespie, Lynn J.
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2000
Summary: The research team will make short visits to many sites in order to observe how plants vary morphologically and genetically from site to site across the arctic region. They will visit Mould Bay on Prince Patrick Island, Warrington Bay and McCormick Inlet on Melville Island. At each site the researchers will make observations on the morphology, ecology, reproductive biology, and distribution of eac...
