Principal Investigator: Harmsen, R.
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher and team will continue to study the relationship between muskoxen and the plants they eat. Since 1987 the effect of muskox grazing on arctic vetch plants has been studied. Investigations of a large number of vetch plants will include calculations on mortality rates, growth rates and renewal through seed....

Principal Investigator: Kershaw, G. Peter
Licensed Year(s): 1989 1988 1987
Summary: Dr. Peter Kershaw and his team will continue his work, begun in 1985, to assess and monitor the environmental characteristics of disburbed and undisturbed forest areas, in relation to revegetation and rehabilitation of pipeline corridors. His work will test impacts from northern crude oil spills....

Principal Investigator: Welch, H.E.
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: 1) To continue the study on the impact of development on two lakes-Saqvacjuac (Northern Keewatin) 2) To conduct fish production level studies and nutrient level determinations.- Cape Vera (Devon Island)....

Principal Investigator: Welch, H.E.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: A continuation of an experiment on an isolated lake to which methane gas has been added thereby simulating a break in a gas pipeline. This season, the work will concentrate on seeing the effects of artificially added nutrients to the lake. Supplementary water studies and radionuclide level determinations will also continue....

Principal Investigator: Blackall, Peter J.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: The BIOS Project (Baffin Island Oil Spill Project) is being conducted to determine if the use of dispersants in the arctic nearshore will reduce or increase the environmental effects of spilled oil and to assess the effectiveness of other shoreline protection and clean-up techniques. Sampling of water, bottom sediments, and various types of plant and animal life will be underaken to ascertain the...

Principal Investigator: Thomson, D.
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To conduct studies to identify the major environmental factors that affect the distribution of marine plants and animals....
