199219911990 Summary:
This ongoing project examines how vegetation has changed in response to changes in climate. I am using the history of vegetation, as recorded by the fossilized pollen that is present in lake sediments, to determine how vegetation in the arctic has changed over thousands of years. Fossilized pollen is collected by taking core samples from lake bottoms on Prince of Wales and Bathurst Islands. Pre...

1992 Summary:
The research will involve a detailed assessment of the make- up of Devonian rocks found on Bathurst, Helena, Cameron and Byam Martin Islands over a three-year period. The potential for oil, gas and/or mineral deposits in the Devonian strata will be assessed, but the major emphasis of the research will be on investigating the strata's geochemical, paleontological and sedimentological characteristi...

Summary:
The Researchers will study the Kanguk Formation which is the last major marine transgression into the Sverdrup Basin. They will establish the age and environment in which the sediments were deposited. Organic matter will be analyzed to determine the petroleum generation potential of the formation....

Summary:
The Researcher and team will measure thickness of strata and collect rock samples from various localities on northwestern Ellesmere Island. The purpose of the work is to understand and reconstruct the geography of the area between 325 and 245 million years ago....

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....

Summary:
The Researcher and team will study the sediments ( mud and sand) in river cutbanks to reconstruct the paleogeography (river history) of the Nahanni Butte topographic basin....

1990
Summary:
The Researcher and his team will be travelling through Hudson Strait by research ship to take samples of the deposits and sediments in the Strait. They will be investigating the history and conditions of the area based on the sediments record in order to detail the late glacial and post glacial conditions of the Strait....

Summary:
A camp will be set up on morthwestern Bands Island (Ballast Brook). Sections along rivers and the coast will be examined by the various researchers to determine the nature of the various sediments and their fossil content....
