Principal Investigator: Matthews, Steven
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The project will evaluate airborne RADAR data as well as Landsat TM and SPOT satellite data to distinguish vegetation cover types of the tundra near Baker Lake. Detailed vegetation surveys will be carried out in the field. The data will be used to classify vegetation cover types and in accuracy assessment. Wildlife habitat types will be based on the resultant classification and produced as mapped ...

Principal Investigator: Waterway, Marcia J.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and her team will sample approximately twenty different species of sedges in a range of wetlands between Edmonton and Yellowknife. They will find out the range of conditions in which each species grows best and will determine whether broad tolerance results from inherited variability or from the ability of individuals of each species to tolerate different conditions....

Principal Investigator: Dickson, H. Loney
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To collect vascular plants to more clearly define the habitat preferences of the various bird species....

Principal Investigator: Nieminen, G.A.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To undertake environmental field studies relating tothe environmental assessment of a mine/mill development and a winterd access road. The studies will include fisheries studies, vegetation identification, soil sampling, and wildlife habitat assessment....

Principal Investigator: Bohn, Arne
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To conduct an assessment of the impacts of new mining and water discharge. The studies will include: - updating information on soil types and vegetation. - updating information on wildlife habitat. - updating information on water quality and fish habitat. - examining background levels of trace metals associated with Pine Point Mining activity....

Principal Investigator: Hastings, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To study the area to determine how the climate affects the vegetation and how the vegetation in turn encourages certain types of small animal habitation....

Principal Investigator: Brassard, Guy R.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To collect specimens and study the habitat of mosses and lichen in the field....

Principal Investigator: de Graff, Dirk
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To study the over-wintering areas for fish. The study will include sampling of fish, water, plant life, and bottom sediments for population assessments and habitat analysis....

Principal Investigator: Bohn, Arne
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To inventory wildlife habitat and populations and assess the impact of mining activity on these and collect plant samples for heavy metal analysis....

Principal Investigator: Thomas, Don
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To collect data on late winter habitats and diets of carioub on the Boothia Peninsula for pipeline assessments; to determine how long productivity rates can remain at low levels on Melville and Prince Patrick Islands; to examine growth indices of arctic willow and their relationship to past productivity of caribou; to make management of insular and near insular populations of caribou easier and mo...
