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 climatic history along a 2° latitudinal gradient in the central NT, variously based on an analysis of freeze cores from lakes along the route of the Tibbitt to Contwoyto Winter Road (TCWR); ii) determine the relationship between modern lake catchments an...


Quaternary Glacial Geology and Sea-Level History of Melville Island, Western High Arctic
Principal Investigator: Lajeunesse, Patrick
Licensed Year(s): 2012 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002
Summary: This research is concerned with the nature and style of glaciation as well as sea level changes and past climatic changes. The broad objective of the research is to obtain a long term paleoclimatic record (before the arrival of the Pre-Dorset people) fro...


Paleo-hydrology in the Arctic
Principal Investigator: CLARK, Ian D.
Licensed Year(s): 2000 1999
Summary: The objective of this project is to observe and collect rock specimens from limestone outcrop sites. These samples will be used to interpret groundwater flow systems that occurred in the Arctic in the past when the climate was much warmer. Several sites will be visited for the purpose of examining and collecting rock specimens along the Dempster highway south of Inuvik. Two day trips west of Akla...


Mesoscale Climates and Paleoclimates of the Baffin Island Region
Principal Investigator: Jacobs, John D.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 1988 1987
Summary: The Researcher and his team will continue a study which examines the local environments of the interior of Baffin Island to see how the climate and vegetation have responded during times of great change in the earth's climate, such as at the end of the last ice age and the warmer period that followed....
