NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Wolfe, Alexander P.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher will continue to investigate lakes on the unglaciated terrain of Fosheim Peninsula to determine the former environments of high and low arctic lakes. By analyzing the physical and chemical properties of the sediments, as well as the preserved biological remains within them, the nature and timing of rapid environmental changes at the close of the last glaciation may be explained....

Principal Investigator: Morgan, Alan
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researchers will collect sediment samples. Insect fossils will be extracted and analysed. The insect communities recovered will provide an indication of the climatic conditions in the area at the time the sediments were deposited. The age of the sediments will be determined with radiocarbon or other dating methods....

Principal Investigator: King, Roger H.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991 1990 1988
Summary: The Researcher and his team will study the age, chemistry and fossil organisms preserved in the lake sediments of the Truelove Lowland and similar coastal lowlands. The information will be used to reconstruct the environmental changes that have taken place in these Polar Oases during the last 40,000 years....

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: Sharpe, David R.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To indentify surface landforms and describe the sediments exposed within these landforms. Organic material (fossil sea shells, wood, etc.) is collected to help determine the age of the sediments. A map (scale 1:250,000) and report are to be published upon completion of the map....

Principal Investigator: Mode, W.M.
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: Lakes will be cored and samples taken to obtain pollen stratigraphy. Wave cut cliffs will be described and sampled in terms of their stratigraphy. Marine fossils will be collected for dating purposes....

Principal Investigator: Terasmae, J.
Licensed Year(s): 1975
Summary: The study of fossils, microscopic organisms, and fragments in sediments to construct enrivonmental changes that have occurred since the last glaciation....

Principal Investigator: Terasmae, Jaan
Licensed Year(s): 1974
Summary: Studies of fossils in soils and lake bottom sediments, to reconstruct environmental changes that have occurred since the last glaciation....

Principal Investigator: Brink, Norman W. Ten
Licensed Year(s): 1974
Summary: Mapping of glacial deposits, raised marine sediments, and weathering zones, and collection of fossils, to sutdy glacial and weathering chronology....
