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: Milligan, Tim
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To undertake a study of floating and suspended material in water near glaciers. Samples of water and bottom sediments will be taken for future lab analysis....

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: Moore, T.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To undertake a study of the factors and processes which affect soil formation in arctic, subarctic and boreal areas. Samples of soils, vegetation and water will be collected, cataloqued and retained for future laboratory analysis....

Principal Investigator: Sims, Richard A. Sims
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To conduct a low level (2000 ft. above groud level) a high level (30,000 ft. A.G.L.) aerial surveys of the reindeer rangeland. Ground truthing will also take place along with collection of plants, soil and water made to complete the study....

Principal Investigator: Welch, H.E.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: A continuation of an experiment on an isolated lake to which methane gas has been added thereby simulating a break in a gas pipeline. This season, the work will concentrate on seeing the effects of artificially added nutrients to the lake. Supplementary water studies and radionuclide level determinations will also continue....
