Population Inventory of Hairy Rockcress (Braya pilosa): NWT’s rarest species of global importance
Principal Investigator: Carriere, Suzanne
Licensed Year(s): 2011
Summary: The focus of this study will be to determining the area of occupancy of the plant Hairy Rockcress (Braya pilosa) in the NWT, the habitat requirements of the species, to collect viable seeds for genetic studies and potential rescue of genetic material if extinction is imminent, and to estimate the rates of shore loss for each sub-population. Ground surveys will be conducted within walking or bo...


2007 Canada Western Arctic Germplasm Collection
Principal Investigator: Wright, Stoney J
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006
Summary: The primary objective of the fieldwork is to collect small samples of seed from grass species in six primary Genera: Festuca, Poa, Deschampsis, Leymus, Elymus and Alopecurus. Other species may be collected. Wild mustard species (Crucifer species) will also be collected. The collections will be compared visually and genetically to other collections of the same or closely related species from Alaska...

Summary: The main activities in this program are: 1) forming a project steering committee involving industry, aboriginal groups and government; 2) identifying plant species suitable for revegetation; 3) developing practices for commercial production; and 4) identifying employment opportunities. Seed collection will be carried out in late August through to mid-September. Sites will be accessed by boat an...


Canadian Arctic Plants: Systematics, Evolution and Floristics
Principal Investigator: Gillespie, Lynn J.
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2000
Summary: This research will study variation among arctic plants (bluegrasses, alkali grasses, arctic poppies, arctic mustards) to better define species so that arctic plants may be more easily identified, and to better understand the origin and evolutionary relat...


Hybridization and genetic variation in arctic grasses: molecular, morphological and ecological evidence.
Principal Investigator: Gillespie, Lynn J.
Licensed Year(s): 1997 1995 1994
Summary: We plan to collect living plants, 6-10 plants of each species from each collection site. In addition, several plants of each species will be pressed and dried as voucher specimens to be used to check the identification. Photographs of the plants and their habitats will be made in the field and will be used for both research and teaching purposes. Upon our return to Ottawa the plant material wil...


BORUP FIORD 91
Principal Investigator: Hankinson, Flt. LT. K.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1988
Summary: Multi-disciplinary research will be undertaken in botany, geology, micro meteorology, soil science, remote sensing, breeding biology of Arctic char and archaeological survey. These studies are a continuation of those begun in 1988....
