Canadian Arctic Archipelago Paleoenvironments: Beaufort Sea Bowhead Whale History Component
Principal Investigator: Dyke, Arthur S.
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: The objective of the work in western Victoria Island is to start establishing a postglacial history for the Beaufort Sea bowhead whale. We have done this very successfully for the Baffin Bay bowhead whale. This is a study of geological fossils, not of living whales, nor of bones at archaeological sites. This information will be used to find out how much sea ice cover has changed through time. A 2 ...


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...
