Principal Investigator: Smith, Rod
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Rod Smith and Louise Hollingsworth are part of Dr. King's research party working on the Truelove Lowland. They will be extracting columns of soil from the bottoms of the larger lakes to determine what the climate was like long ago. They will also collect soil samples from the areas surrounding the lake for comparative purposes....

Principal Investigator: Andrews, John T.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: Raoul Miller and Mark Adams, two students of Dr. Andrews, will be continuing his work to see how sea level, climate, and vegetation have changed over the years. As in other years, they will be taking samples from the bottom of lakes near Gold Cove and along the coastline....

Principal Investigator: Ritchie, J.C.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: Dr. Ritchie is looking at live plants and the remains of plants at the bottom of lakes to see how plants and weather have changed since the glaciers left the Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk area 10,000 years ago....

Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Glen M
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: to obtain lake sediment cores, peat samples, and tree-ring cores in the Kazan river region to examine the postglacial history of the northern treeline in this region...

Principal Investigator: Somr, Christopher
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1988 1987
Summary: To sample the lacustrine sedimantary record by using a modified Livingstone corer and the lake ice as a coring platform. (Lakes included are Immerk, Fish and Phalarope Lakes). These cores will be analyzed at the University of Western Ontario. Soil and sediment will alo be collected adjacent to the lakes for a comparison of the mineralogy and composition of the terrestrial and lacustrive samples...

Principal Investigator: Retelle, Michael J.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To study sedimentary processes in high arctic coastal lake basins....

Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Glen M
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To collect surface samples from small lakes to reconstruct the response of plant populations in the treeline zone to climatic change....

Principal Investigator: Ritchie, J.C.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: April - to take 5 cm diamete rcores of unconsolidated lake mud from 6 small lakes; July - to conduct a survey of the vegetation surrounding the lakes sampled in the above winter coring operation....

Principal Investigator: Brown, Malcolm P.
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: A study of lake quaternary glacio-lacustrine sediments and abandoned lake shorelines on northeast Ellesmere Island, including surveying and mapping the uppermost lake shorelines to establish the nature of isostatic uplift in the area. Studying the exposed lake sediments and collecting organic material for dating purposes....

Principal Investigator: Ritchie, J.C.
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: 1) To survey the area between 120 degree W and 68 degree and 70 degree N for small lakes suitable for subsequent coring of unconsolidated sediment. 2) To take small samples of surface mud from a selection of roughly 40 lakes during the course of this survey....
