Field Investigation of the "Fossil Forest" on Axel Heiberg Island
Principal Investigator: MacNeil, Ian
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his team will join other researchers already at the site to become familiar with the fossil forest site and the surrounding region. No sampling or removal of fossils will be undertaken by this field team....


Taxonomy and Paleoecology of Upper Devonian Brachiopods in the Hay River Area
Principal Investigator: Stanton, Linda
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and her assistant will identify and analyse fossil shells from the rocks that occur along the Hay River....


Biostratigraphy and Paleontology of the Eureka Sound Formation
Principal Investigator: Hickey, Leo J.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and team will collect and examine fossil materials which will then be deposited with the National Museum of Canada and the Geological Survey of Canada. This is a continuation of a study begun in 1973 by R. West and M. Dawson involving the biostratigraphy and paleontology of the Eureka Sound Formation....


Holocene Bowhead Whale (Balaena mysticetus) Skeletal Morphometrics and Taphonomy in the Eastern Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Savelle, James M.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1990
Summary: The Researcher will record and measure whale bones from naturally stranded bowhead whales. The information will be used to assist in determining the effects of climatic change on bowhead whale populations over the last 10,500 years....


Limnology and Paleoecology of Arctic Lakes
Principal Investigator: Smol, John P
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The research team will sample approximately 20 lakes located within a 100 km radius of Tuktoyaktuk and within the immediate vicinity of Inuvik. At each lake they will analyze the water for major environmental variables and remove some of the lake mud for future analysis of algal remains....


Field Sampling and Collecting of Tertiary Sediments in the Geodetic Hills Fossil Forest Locality, Eastern Axel Heiberg Island, NWT, for Plant Macro-Fossils
Principal Investigator: Gruchy, C.G.
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1989 1988 1987
Summary: The Researcher and team will study the Geodetic Hills Locality. They will collect plant macrofossils to identify and classify the fossil pollen and to determine botanical affinities, deduce and describe the paleoecology and the paleoenvironment....


Paleoecological and Geological Study of the Isortoq River and Flitaway Lake, Baffin Island; Collection of Arctic Coleoptera
Principal Investigator: Morgan, Alan
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and team will take samples of organic sediments and process them to remove insect and plant fossils. Identification of these fossils will provide the basis for a paleoenvironmental analysis by comparing the fossil organisms to modern ones....


Investigaton of the Paleoecology of Vertebrates from the Silurian and Devonian Sediments of Prince of Wales, Cornwallis and Somerset Islands
Principal Investigator: Elliott, D.K.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: This research project will involve the measurement and description of stratigraphic sections and the collection of rock and fossil samples for laboratory study....


Postglacial Treeline Change in the Mackenzie-Selwyn Mountains
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....


Reconnaissance of Cretaceous sediments for fossil vertebrate remains, southern Bylot Island, region of Strathcona Fiord (Ellesmere Island) and western coast of Amund Ringnes Island
Principal Investigator: Russell, Dale A.
Licensed Year(s): 1989 1988
Summary: Mr. Russell in the company of eight other paleontological personnel intend to prospect for fossil vertebrate remains in the area of Bylot Island....
