Summary: Researchers acoustically profile the seabed in the are of Resolute by side scan sonar in order to obtain an aerial view of the seabed and locate scours known from previous years and created over the last winter. Researchers then scuba dive on these scours & count the large animals, collect small animals and measure the physical and chemical characteristics of the scours. This will help to determ...

Summary: Northward flowing rivers are thought to be major ways in which contaminants are introduced to the Arctic Ocean. As part of an on-going study, river water and sediments will be collected over the course of the year and assessed for the presence of contaminants. A total of 12 rivers in the Canadian arctic mainland will be sampled in this study, including the Mackenzie, Coppermine, Burnside, Ellice...

Principal Investigator: Reimer, K.J.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The research team will collect bottom-dwelling marine organisms and sediment to examine how materials introduced locally and from distant sources distribute themselves in the marine environment, to understand the potential for adverse effects and the likely persistence of such materials in the future. As well, they will collect soil and plant samples to understand the potential for impact and per...

Principal Investigator: Dale, Janis E.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To examine marine sedimentation and marine benthic faunal communities in the Pangnirtung Fiord by surveying, mapping, photographing and sampling. To measure tidal ranges, water current velocities, biological activities, sedimentation rates and the effects of freeze-up and break-up. To sample marine flora and fauna, sediment, fast and inter-tidal ice and diagnostic diatoms....
