Summary: A new 156 km winter road is proposed, extending from the end of the Ingraham Trail to Lockhart Lake, following a route similar to that of the existing winter road. The objective is to acquire airborne digital imagery (including LiDAR and digital video) data to produce maps; to determine fish presence/absence in streams around the route and fish utilization of habitat, to determine potential fish h...

Summary: The researchers will collect specimens of fossil molluscs exposed in critical areas. This involves simply breaking rocks loose from their location. No excavation deeper than 1 foot is contemplated. Localities will be marked on topographic maps and measurements of sections exposed in river banks will be made. Analysis will be completed in California. Significant specimens will be returned to t...

Principal Investigator: Savelle, James M.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1990
Summary: The researcher and his team will take a series of measurements on crania and mandibles of naturally stranded early Holocene bowhead whales. This will enable the original length of individual bowheads at death to be determined. These data will have immediate applications in the fields of environmental change and Thule archaeology....

Principal Investigator: Hogarth, D.D.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991
Summary: The Researchers will map the geology at and near the Countess of Sussex mines and investigate the mining methodology used by Martin Frobisher circa 1577. These mines represent the first attempts to mine gold in Canada....

Licensed Year(s): 1976
Summary: To prepare 26-34 Land Use Information maps at a scale of 1:250,000, covering the region between Great Bear Lake and the Arctic Coast and Banks Island. Maps will contain data on: wildlife resources, recreation and tourism considerations, forest resources, development areas, historical sites, archaelological sites, water climate and social/economic information....
