Principal Investigator: Ballantyne, J.S.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The research will determine the kinds of fats of Arctic fish and invertebrates found in various parts of the body (blood, liver, kidney, muscle, brain) and how they change when the fish move from freshwater into seawater or when the temperature changes. The studies will determine how Arctic animals are different from similar animals found in warmer climates and how Arctic animals are adapted to Ar...

Principal Investigator: Randa, Vladimir
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1990 1988
Summary: The researcher will collect new data about the small land and water vertebrates and invertebrates, and collect more information in regards to the relationship between oral tradition and zoological terminology. Another topic will be the use of fire-arms in hunting, for example, strategies of acquisition and use of different types of hunting weapons in relation to different kinds of game....

Principal Investigator: Nakayama, Tsunesuke
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The researcher and his team will collect arctic marine life such as fishes, invertebrates and sea algaes in order to contribute to the conservation of marine environments, and deepen understanding of arctic marine life. Tokyo Sea Life Park has started research on breeding behavior and early life history of arctic marine animals, as well as exhibits in the Tokyo Sea Life Park of arctic marine anim...

Principal Investigator: Stearn, Colin W.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher and his team will collect fossil stromatoporoids from intervals of the Devonian succession of carbonate rocks. Carbonates of early Middle Devonian age are known to be available on Truro Island but have not been extensively collected for stromatoporoids. These will be revisited to improve collections from this interval....

Principal Investigator: Chatterton, Brian D.E.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991
Summary: The researcher and his team will prospect for suitable sites to measure stratigraphic sections. Horizons in these sections containing invertebrate fossils, usually silicified, are then collected....

Principal Investigator: Graham, Mark S
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher and his team will use several species of planktonic and benthic invertebrates from Lancaster Sound region to evaluate the metabolic cost of making a living in the Arctic. Oxygen consumption techniques will be used as a metabolic indicy. Trophic status of specimens will be evaluated later by stable isotope analysis....

Principal Investigator: Glemet, Helene
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researchers will continue a study begun in 1990. They will study the types of fat found in muscle and liver of Arctic fishes and marine invertebrates....

Principal Investigator: Thornton, Sheila
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher will create an artifical reef in the Churchill region and develop an arctic ecosystem study site. She will create a species inventory which will involve benthic sampling using SCUBA gear. Species include benthic marine invertebrates, fish and pelagic invertebrates found in 0-20 metres of water....

Principal Investigator: Smol, John P
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The research team will sample approximately 20 lakes located within a 100 km radius of Tuktoyaktuk and within the immediate vicinity of Inuvik. At each lake they will analyze the water for major environmental variables and remove some of the lake mud for future analysis of algal remains....

Principal Investigator: Wilson, Mark V.H.
Licensed Year(s): 2013 1998 1996 1990
Summary: The Researchers will collect fossil vertebrates, invertebrates and stratigraphic information from measured sections of area near Avalanche Lake, Grizzly Bear Lake and new localities in the general area....
