Principal Investigator: Copland, Elizabeth
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: Samples of plants will be collected by local residents and identified, some of which may have to be sent away for identification. Elders will be used as resource people to determine possible traditional uses of the plants. The researcher will also experiment with the various land plants to develop appropriate products. If a suitable product can be developed then each plant will be analyzed for ...

Principal Investigator: Henry, Greg H R
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: Researchers have established field experiments in 5 plant communities to simulate climate change scenarios (i) no change; (ii) warmer, longer seasons with earlier snow melt; (iii) warmer growing seasons with later snow melt. The temperatures are increased in small open-topped greenhouses and the date of snow melt is changed by adding or removing snow. Tagged plants of the major vascular plant spec...

Principal Investigator: Maus, Lin
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1991
Summary: The students will be given the opportunity to conduct different field techniques in the disciplines of archaeology, botany and marine ecology. Additional activities will include orienteering and basic field camp procedures....

Principal Investigator: Henry, Gregory
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researchers will continue to investigate how high arctic sedge meadows respond to microclimate and grazing....

Principal Investigator: MacDonald, John
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1991
Summary: The expedition journals kept by W.E. Parry during his visits to the Northern Foxe Basin in the years 1821-1823 will be organized, excerpted and annotated under approximately 100 thematic headings and sub-headings. These journals provide the earliest written records of this area. The project will emphasize Inuit ethnology but will include geography, toponymy, biology, botany and climatology....

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....

Principal Investigator: Fitzhugh, William
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his team will elucidate the earliest European settlement of the region and study its impact on local Inuit culture and history. They will collaborate with local educational, research and cultural institutions....

Principal Investigator: Gruchy, C.G.
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1989 1988 1987
Summary: The Researcher and team will study the Geodetic Hills Locality. They will collect plant macrofossils to identify and classify the fossil pollen and to determine botanical affinities, deduce and describe the paleoecology and the paleoenvironment....

Principal Investigator: Gould, William
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher will collect lichens along the Coppermine, Hood and Thomsen rivers. The collections will be sent to the University of Minnesota for study....

Principal Investigator: Fahselt, Diane
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The researcher will study the basic biology of lichens growing in northern environments....
