Fisheries Studies For 2002 Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program
Principal Investigator: Landry, Francois
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: The field work is intended to provide baseline fisheries data for four lakes (Horseshoe, Toss, Fay and Logan) and to obtain post-baseline fisheries data on eight lakes (Vulture, Kodiak, Nema, Cujo, Nanuq, Counts, and Slipper) within the Ekati claimblock...

Reproductive Ecology of Tundra Swans in the Mackenzie Delta Region
Principal Investigator: Swystun, Heather
Licensed Year(s): 2002 2001
Summary: Two individuals from each of the communities of Inuvik, Aklavik, Tsiigehtchic, Fort McPherson, and Tuktoyaktuk will be interviewed about their local knowledge of tundra swan biology. Information collected will educate the researcher about local tundra swan ecology and may help generate questions that are important to communities. Interview methods will follow those used by the Arctic Borderlands E...

The Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity of Arsenic in Mine Waste Soils on the Earthworm (Eisenia fetida andrei)
Principal Investigator: Wong, Stephen
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The research team will examine soils which will be collected by DIAND Contaminants Division staff from Yellowknife. Approximately 20 kg of contaminated soil will be collected from a site close to the Con Mine. As well, approximately 80 kg of uncontaminated soil (for use as a reference soil) will be collected from a site adjacent to the Rae Highway. All soils will be returned to a laboratory at ...

The Use of Sediment Data as an Indicator of Aquatic Ecosystem Health in the Coppermine River Basin, NWT
Principal Investigator: Peramaki, Liisa
Licensed Year(s): 2000
Summary: This study will investigate the quality of aquatic sediment and evaluate its potential as an indicator of ecosystem health in the Coppermine River basin. Sediment cores will be collected by boat or float plane at Lac de Gras and Point Lake. The following field measurements will be recorded: water temperature and pH, and sediment colour, texture and pH. In addition, personal interviews will be c...

Measuring Genetic Diversity in Small False Asphodel, Tofieldia pusilla (Liliaceae), in Glacial Refugia, Disjunct Populations on Lake Superior and Across its Broad Arctic Range : A Tool for Prioritizing Sites for Conservation
Principal Investigator: Line, Jennifer
Licensed Year(s): 2000
Summary: This research will contribute to an increased understanding of ecological integrity in Nahanni National Park, provide information on the importance of glacial refugia as banks of genetic diversity and highlight the value of genetic diversity as an indicator of ecological integrity. The researcher will be transported to sampling sites within the park by Parks Canada staff (plane, helicopter). At...

Studies on the past, present and future ecological impact on Canadian northern boreal forest and arctic ecosystems due to mining activities, shown at the Great Slave Lake area, Northwest Territories, Canada
Principal Investigator: Steinecke, Karin
Licensed Year(s): 1998 1997
Summary: The project will focus on understanding, analyzing and evaluating the reactions of the northern boreal forest ecosystems in the Great Slave Lake region due to man made stress of mining, settlement and connecting activities. The project will try to develop some general conclusions, statements and model systems. The research team (2 persons) will come from Europe to Yellowknife by plane. The base wi...

Hybridization and genetic variation in arctic grasses: molecular, morphological and ecological evidence
Principal Investigator: Gillespie, Lynn J.
Licensed Year(s): 1997 1995 1994
Summary: The researcher will collect living plants (Arctic grasses), 6 - 10 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 Ottawa, variations in DNA among different populations and species will be analyzed to study species re...

Development of Ecosystem Maintenance Indicators (EMI's) for the Peel, Liard and Slave Rivers.
Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Donald D.
Licensed Year(s): 1995
Summary: The T.E.K. component of the study will involve a series of interviews with residents in the Liard River basin. These interviews will be conducted by an interviewer who is competent in English and Slavey. The interviews will be recorded on audio tape and transcribed later onto the questionaire and maps. The communities will be provided with copies of all raw and summarized information....
