Climatic Relationships to Phenological Patterns Among Arctic Plant Species
Principal Investigator: Clark, Karin
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: The objectives of the research are to get a better understanding of how caribou foraged plant species might be responding to climate. This information may be used to make predictions of how plants might adapt to a warmer climate and in turn how this mig...

Investigation of Distribution and Range Boundaries for Some Common Subarctic Inscects Occuring at or Near Treeline
Principal Investigator: Royer, Ronald A.
Licensed Year(s): 1995
Summary: The researcher will investigate range boundaries and species intergrade zones. The researcher will also possibly define ecological limiting factors for selected apecies of common arctic insects, principally in the order of Lepidoptera. This data will fill numerous gaps in understanding of distribution and speciation for the targeted species, the ranges of many of which are assumed but not yet co...

Paleontology & Sedimentology of Late Proterozoic Reefs, Mackenzie Mountains, NWT.
Principal Investigator: Narbonne, Guy
Licensed Year(s): 2001 1999 1998 1996 1994 1992 1991 1989 1988
Summary: Field work will involve detailed measurement & description of stratigraphic sections using a range pole and compass, and mapping and selective sampling of reefs using a geological hammer. Follow-up work at Queen's University will involve analysis of field data and examination of samples using a variety of laboratory techniques. These reefs are an ecological "missing link" between the two major re...

Summary: Researchers will evaluate the spatial variability of nutrient chemistry during the snowmelt period within the drainage network of the tundra stream ecosystem. Evaluation of the controls on nutrient chemistry and community metabolism in streams withing the borel forest/tundra ecotone through the measurement of algae and organic matter in the stream. Evaluation of the potential role of Mackenzie De...

Biology, ecology and cold tolerance of arctic insects
Principal Investigator: Ring, Richard A.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1990 1987
Summary: As part of a long term study, I will continue to examine the biology of arctic and subarctic insects. Information will be collected on insect distributions as well as insect adaptations to living in environments with extremely cold winters and short summers. Studies on insect communities in the north may be good indicators of global climate change since they are short-lived species with limited a...

Ecology of high arctic marine molluscs
Principal Investigator: Aitken, Alec E.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The researcher will collect samples of small organisms that live on the sea bottom in the Canon and Slidre Fiords of Ellesmere Island. These creatures include small worms, shrimp, starfish, clams and snails. Measurements will be collected on water temperature and the amounts of salt and oxygen in the water. These data will help to relate the distribution of species with the characteristics of ...

Arctic timberline ecology
Principal Investigator: Broll, Gabriele
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: As part of his trip to Inuvik with the International Tour of Permafrost Affected Soils, the researcher will record information about the ecology (including local climate conditions, soil conditions and plant communities) of the timberline at selected sites visited during the Tour. These sites are located along the Dempster Highway near Inuvik....

Implications of climatic change on water-based recreational activities in Nahanni and Jasper National Parks
Principal Investigator: Staple, Tamara
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The research in Nahanni National Park includes the setting up of programs to monitor water depth and vegetational changes along the river. Changes in water depth influence the ability of navigating the river, especially in areas of rapids, and has implications on the level of expertise required by visitors travelling the river. Monitoring vegetation along the river will provide information about...
