NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Brunskill, Gregg
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: Sediment samples from Hazen Lake will help scientist understand the global movement of airborn pollutants. In addition, various species of the Lake Hazen biomass will be collected and analyzed to determine if atmoshperic pollutants are present....

Principal Investigator: Fujino, Kazuo
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and field team will conduct a geological survey and topographic traverse survey around the massive ground ice. They will take samples for ecological study and geochemical analysis....

Principal Investigator: Prowse, T.D.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: Spring breakup in Northern Rivers are often associated with record water levels and often lead to flooding. Present methods of forecasting the severity of these events are hampered by lack of understanding. The acquired knowledge and understanding obtained from these studies will be applied to the enhancement of suitable models for predicting the time and magnitude of these events....

Principal Investigator: Frei, Rosemary
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: Ms. Frei will spend a period of nine days in the area of Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk with the objective of gathering material for a series of papular articles and/or radio programs for the Canadian Airlines Inflight magazine and for Canadian Geographic. The articles will mainly deal with research on climate change being carried out in the Arctic....

Principal Investigator: Aiken, Susan
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher will test some very standard agriculture seeds that have been developed in Alberta to determine whether they will grow in test plots in Iqaluit and Lake Harbour. She will also identify areas across the NWT which may be suitable as long term climatic change monitoring sites....

Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Glen M
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1990
Summary: Dr. Glen MacDonald and his team will collect lake sediment core samples from 3 or 4 small lakes in the Mackenzie Mountains, adjacent to the Canol Road for the purpose of fossil pollen and macrofossil analysis. The area will be revisited in July to conduct surveys of vegetation at and around the treeline....

Principal Investigator: Bradley, Raymond S.
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To undertake studes of ancient climates (paleoclimatology) and geology. Samples will be collected for further lab analysis....

Principal Investigator: Jacobs, John D.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To undertake a program of field mapping a meteorological measurements to support studies of local climates and environmental change in the area....

Principal Investigator: Hastings, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To study the area to determine how the climate affects the vegetation and how the vegetation in turn encourages certain types of small animal habitation....

Principal Investigator: Davis, P. Thompson
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To obtain sediment cores, peat samples, lichen growth samples and to map and date glacial land forms. This is part of a study of glacial and ancient climate history....
