Paleoclimatological assessment of the central Northwest Territories: implications for the long-term viability of the Tibbitt to Contwoyto winter ice road
Principal Investigator: Patterson, R. Tim
Licensed Year(s): 2012 2011 2010
Summary: Through analysis of sediment/water interface samples, freeze cores, and dendrochronology, the researchers intend to: i) develop a comprehensive sub-decadal to centennial-scale late Holocene climatic history along a 2° latitudinal gradient in the central NT, variously based on microfossils (pollen, diatoms, thecamoebians, chironomids), sedimentologic, cyclostratigraphic, stable isotopic, ...


Use of Fossil Plants and Shells to Infer Past Climate
Principal Investigator: Marino, Bruno D.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher will sample plants and shells containing records of the stable isotopic composition of the constituents in the environment that are used for growth. The natural abundance of the stable isotopes of carbon in atmospheric CO2 and in dissolved groundwater as well as the hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in water can be related to climatic factors. Thus, these isotope ratios in shells and p...


Fossil and Modern Coleopteran Ecology in Arctic Canada
Principal Investigator: Morgan, Alan
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researchers will collect sediment samples. Insect fossils will be extracted and analysed. The insect communities recovered will provide an indication of the climatic conditions in the area at the time the sediments were deposited. The age of the sediments will be determined with radiocarbon or other dating methods....


Licence #2655
Principal Investigator: Jacobs, John D.
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To undertake a study of past climates using vegetation surveys, pollen studies and soil sampling techniques. Findings will be correlated to the archaeological record (Dr. M. Maxwell)....


Licence #2206
Principal Investigator: Plumet, Patrick
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: Inspection of diggings done under license number 2019 (1976) and some limited digging on coastal islands as a continuation of the study of ancient climates, ancient Inuit land use and settlement patterns....
