chercheur principal: Miller, Gifford H.
Année(s) de permis: 1994 1993 1991 1990 1989 1987
Résumé: The researchers will obtain sediments from lakes near Cape Dyer to document past climatic conditions. Vegetation and lake water chemistry data will also be collected in order to collect information about the current environment: this data can be compared to historic data. Finally, the inner Frobisher Bay area will be surveyed for data about past sea levels and glacial landforms. This research w...

chercheur principal: LAURIOL, Bernard
Année(s) de permis: 1993
Résumé: The researchers will map the types of rock and landforms of Akpatok Island using information collected from air photographs as well as data collected during the site visit. Samples of rock will be collected for further analysis. Interpretation of this information may provide clues as to the island's long-term history....

chercheur principal: Shilts, William W.
Année(s) de permis: 1993 1992 1991
Résumé: The focus of this project is on examining the glacial and periglacial features of southern Bylot Island and the area near Pond Inlet. Researchers and graduate students will be collecting data on lichens, ice, land features and organisms in order to gain a better understanding of why glaciers of the area are retreating (melting)....

chercheur principal: Barrie, Len A.
Année(s) de permis: 1993
Résumé: This study is measuring the amount of contaminants that are present in the air over the Agassiz Glacier on Ellesmere Island. Two automatic samplers will be installed on this glacier to record contaminant levels. This research will aid other research that is being done on the Agassiz Glacier which is collecting data about contaminants that were present in the past and are now locked into the ice....

chercheur principal: Hooper, James Matthew
Année(s) de permis: 1991
Résumé: The Researcher will map the surficial geology and glacial landforms of the area using air photographs and field evidence. They will also verify interpretations made from air photos by checking mapped units on the ground and by collecting soil samples for laboratory analysis....

chercheur principal: Lemmen, Donald
Année(s) de permis: 1991
Résumé: The Researcher will map, describe, explain the surficial deposits and geomorphology and study glacial history and relative sea level changes. This will involve mapping and surveying as well as the collection of small samples for sedimentological, geochemical and paleoecological analysis....

chercheur principal: Dredge, Linda
Année(s) de permis: 1990
Résumé: The Researcher and her assistant will map the terrain and take soil and rock samples for laboratory studies....

chercheur principal: Beaudet, Hector
Année(s) de permis: 1989 1988 1987
Résumé: H. Beaudet and his team intend to continue with a three year research project initially undertaken in 1987 which focusses on the glacial history of the Lake Hazen area....

chercheur principal: Sloan, Valerie
Année(s) de permis: 1988
Résumé: Valerie Sloan is mapping the gravel and rock deposits made by the glaciers to determine where the last glaciers where. Since the weight of the glaciers caused the land to sink, she is also investigating how much the land has risen since the glaciers melted....

chercheur principal: Bell, Trevor
Année(s) de permis: 1993 1990 1988
Résumé: Trevor Bell is a graduate student who will be walking back and forth across Fosheim Peninsula collecting rock samples and mapping the locations of different kinds of rocks and landforms. He wants to know what the glaciers were like, how much of the current landscape was formed by glacial activity, and how much of the land was under sea water because of the weight of the glaciers....
