Late Quaternary history and paleoenvironmental change in the Lake Hazen Basin on Ellesmere Island
Principal Investigator: Smith, Rod
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: It is believed that during the last ice-age on northern Ellesmere Island, Lake Hazen was `pushed' further south as a result of the presence of glaciers. The researchers are investigating the Lake Hazen Basin area to determine the nature of this ancient lake. Sediment samples will be taken from both Lake Hazen as well as the surrounding area to study the past environment and organisms (now fossils...

Late Quaternary glacial and climate history on Baffin Island, NWT
Principal Investigator: Miller, Gifford H.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1991 1990 1989 1987
Summary: The arctic has an effect on the climate experienced in the rest of the world. We are attempting to understand how climate and the growth (movements) of glaciers influence each other, both in the present and during the last 20,000 years. We will be taking samples of sediments from the bottoms of lakes as these sediments contain information about changes in climate....

Preglacial channel and sediment-fill of the ancestral Mackenzie River Valley between Wrigley and Fort Good Hope, NWT
Principal Investigator: Smith, Derald
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The Mackenzie River Valley, from Wrigley to Fort Good Hope, will be surveyed in order to document the nature of the river prior to the last glaciation. Sediments will be sampled in order to determine their age (using radiocarbon dating techniques). Field work will take place along the Mackenzie River between Wrigley and the mouth of the Redstone River, in the lower section of Gt. Bear River, and...

Glacimarine Sedimentation in Canon Fiord, Ellesmere Island
Principal Investigator: Gilbert, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991 1990 1988
Summary: A special type of echo sounder will be used to determine the depth of the water and the thickness of the sediments beneath down to bedrock. The instrument also shows the patterns of sediment distribution around the fiord. From these results, an assessment can be made of where the sediment has come from, how much there is and how the patterns of sedimentation have changed during the entire period...
