Principal Investigator: Clayton, Terry
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher has been commissioned by Echo Bay Mines Ltd. to conduct an assessment of heavy metal contaminants in the fish of Contwoyto and Concession Lakes. Most of the study will concentrate on contaminants in lake trout but analyses will be performed on the tissues of other fish species that are caught. The study will be based out of the Lupin Mine site at Contwoyto Lake....

Summary: Ice caps have been used to measure changes in the chemistry of the atmosphere over long periods of time. The studies have addressed climate change, levels of pollutants resulting from human activities, and levels of materials put into the atmosphere by natural processes (e.g., volcano eruptions). This on-going study has been examining the levels of contaminants in ice caps since 1986 by collecti...

Principal Investigator: Welch, Harold
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991 1990 1988 1987
Summary: The researcher and his team will continue their marine research at Resolute. They will continue their work on the trophic dynamics of the arctic marine food chain as it pertains to marine mammal and seabird production. The main goal is to obtain data on seasonal cycles of energy flow. The team will also be examining organochlorine and heavy metal contaminants in the marine system....

Principal Investigator: Clayton, Terry
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researchers will obtain fisheries, water quality and bathymetric information on Long Lake, as well as obtaining information on the relative abundance of fish in other waterbodies of the South Basin. They will also obtain information on levels of metals in fish tissue from selected South Basin waterbodies....

Principal Investigator: Ash, Gary R.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: The researchers will obtain baseline water quality data for the study waterbodies, discharge information for the major streams in the study area, baseline information on fish species composition and relative abundance in the study area, and information of background levels of metals in fish tissue from selected waterbodies in the area....

Principal Investigator: d'Entremont, Andre
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher will assess the extent of trace metal migration in Strathcona Sound, to determine if this contamination could result in any toxic effects on biota, and to assess the effectiveness of environmental monitoring methods in the high Arctic....

Principal Investigator: Harbicht, Stephen
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his assistants will set gill nets in Kam Lake, areas IV and V of Great Slave Lake and Yellowknife Bay to collect fish samples for analysis to determine baseline levels of heavy metals in fish tissues....

Principal Investigator: Harbicht, Stephen
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his team using gill nets will sample lake trout to determine the level of heavy metals in order to evaluate the bioaccumulation that has occurred....

Principal Investigator: Stirling, Ian
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: (1) Effects of oil and polar bears, baseline heavy metal and toxic chemical surveys and population surveys of polar bears. (2) Survey of polar bear denning areas and polar bear tagging. (3) To assess seasonal movement patterns of polar bears and denning site surveys....

Principal Investigator: Ronald, K.
Licensed Year(s): 1976
Summary: The collection of data onthe physical charcteristics of harp seals, collection of tissues for pesticide and heavy mental analysis, examination of reproductive status and natural history observations - part of a larger project to develop a management model....
