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...


Impacts of Climate Change upon the Community of Aklavik, NWT
Principal Investigator: Aharonian, Dave
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher will examine the ability of an aboriginal community to adapt to climate change by documenting past events which have been influenced by the climate. These events will be probed through the oral histories of the community members, especially elders. The views and perceptions as held by the community members, concerning future changes in climate will be determined....
