Principal Investigator: Fyles, John G.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: On Melville and Bathurst Islands, the Researchers will locate and describe the occurrence of high-level gravels and sands, record evidence of the flow-direction of the rivers in which they originated and search for plant and insect fossils that may provide clues about the age of these deposits and about the climate and environment at that time....

Principal Investigator: McIntyre, David J.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his assistant will collect rock samples for study of the fossil pollen to determine age, correlation with similar material from wells and to determine past climate and environments....

Principal Investigator: Miller, Raoul
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: Mr. Miller and Mark Abbott will take water samples and cores from the sediment at the bottom of several lakes on Laird and Becher Peninsulas, Baffin Island. The purpose of the sample collection is to find out about past climate of the area and also to see what impacts human activity in the Arctic might have on these lakes....

Principal Investigator: King, Roger H.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991 1990 1988
Summary: This is the fourth year that Dr. King and his students will be working in the Truelove Lowland area of Devon Island. They are extracting columns of soil and rock to investigate how the climate has changed since long ago....

Principal Investigator: Jacobs, John D.
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To carry out micrometeoroligical measurements, mapping, and collection of lake sediments, soils, and plants for analysis. The object is to describe the sequence of post-glacial climate, vegetation, and environmental change....

Principal Investigator: Jacobs, John D.
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: To undertake field mapping, collect meteorological measurements as well as soil and sediment samples for latter use to analyze for post-glacial climate and environmental change....

Principal Investigator: Stewart, Thomas G.
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To continue a study of recent glacial, river and marine sediments (fossils) and deposits to develop a record of the recent environments (climates)....

Principal Investigator: Mode, William N.
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To undertake a study of past climates through study of lake bottom core samples and analyzing them for pollen content....

Principal Investigator: Bradley, Raymond S.
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To undertake studes of ancient climates (paleoclimatology) and geology. Samples will be collected for further lab analysis....

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)....
