Principal Investigator: Lewis, Trish
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: As part of the Environmental Technology Program of Arctic College, students will gain experience in using various limnological techniques to collect physical, biological and chemical data from Ikalliarvik Lake. Measurements include ice and snow depth, lake area and volume, degree of light penetration, water sampling for chemical concentrations and pH, and collection of zooplankton....

Principal Investigator: Nicholson, Barbara
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The Researcher will map the present distribution of boreal and subarctic wetlands in the Mackenzie River Basin. Wetland vegetation and water chemistry will be described for areas immediately surrounding permanent weather stations. The ecological relationships between climate, wetland water chemistry and wetland species distribution will be analyzed. A predictive indicator model will be built to pr...

Principal Investigator: Marsh, Philip
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The research will study changes in the water levels of a variety of lakes in the Mackenzie Delta. Investigations will include consideration of factors controlling the lake levels, introduction of floodwater from the Mackenzie River, rainfall on to the lake, smowmelt runoff into the lakes and evaporation from the lakes....

Principal Investigator: Gustavson, Kent
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher will continue to study the distribution of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the Barrow Strait area. The herbivourous plankton species which feed on the marine algae and phytoplankton is the first step in the arctic food chain. It is the herbivorous plankton which is the source of food for other animals which ultimately provides food for all other higher arctic animals....

Principal Investigator: Kershaw, G. Peter
Licensed Year(s): 1989 1988 1987
Summary: To continue the study initiated in 1984 by conducting gemorphological, microclimatological, pedological, hydrological, botanical and small mammal studies on the site....

Principal Investigator: Spencer, Richard
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: Collect biophysical information for permit applications (water, land use, surface lease)....

Principal Investigator: McLeod, Curtis
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To document fish use of shallow side channel areas or river margins to estimate the effect of water level changes on fish habitat. Detailed physical data collection (water levels, velocity and sediment samples) will be undertaken, data will also be collected of fish and small invertebrate use of habitat....

Principal Investigator: McLeod, Curtis
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To document fish use of shalllow side-channel areas or river margins and to estimate the effect of water level changes on fish habitat. Detailed physical data collection (water levels, velocity and sediment samples) will be undertaken, data will also be collected of fish and small invertebrate use of habitat....

Principal Investigator: Richardson, W. John
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: Four Basic Objectives: a) To document the normal behaviour patterns of the bowhead whale; b) Determine type and quantity of responses if any, of bowheads to boats and aircraft passing at various distances; c) Determine the type and quantity of responses if any, of bowheads to underwater playbacks of recorded industrial noises; d) Dete...

Principal Investigator: Speller, Don
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To undertake an environmental field program which will include bird, fish, small and large mammals, plants, meteorology and hydrology studies....
