Paleohydrology and paleoecology of the Slave River Delta
Principal Investigator: Wolfe, Brent BBW
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002
Summary: This research program focuses on high-resolution reconstruction of past hydrology, ecology and climate of the Peace-Athabasca (PAD) and Slave River deltas (SRD) from natural archives, including lake sediments and tree rings, supported by comprehensive field-based studies of modern hydrology, limnology and aquatic ecology. The PAD and SRD have broad ecological and cultural significance and are ecos...


Upper Silurian reef mounds at the Douro-Devon Island formational boundary, Devon and southwestern Ellesmere Islands
Principal Investigator: Dixon, O.A.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1990 1988
Summary: In the Arctic Islands, we are studying rocks and the fossils found within these rocks that were formed more than 400 million years ago in warm tropical seas. This study is expected to help in describing the temperatures, climate and water depths of these ancient seas. We are also studying the types of fossil corals and sponge-like animals that are not present in our seas today....


Evolution of High Latitude Floras
Principal Investigator: Basinger, James F.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 1989 1988 1987
Summary: The researcher and his team will continue the study of the evolution of plants and climate in the very high latitudes, and will continue to assemble an extensive collection of fossil plants from northern Canada....


Limnology and Paleoecology of Arctic Lakes
Principal Investigator: Smol, John P
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The research team will sample approximately 20 lakes located within a 100 km radius of Tuktoyaktuk and within the immediate vicinity of Inuvik. At each lake they will analyze the water for major environmental variables and remove some of the lake mud for future analysis of algal remains....


Field Sampling and Collecting of Tertiary Sediments in the Geodetic Hills Fossil Forest Locality, Eastern Axel Heiberg Island, NWT, for Plant Macro-Fossils
Principal Investigator: Gruchy, C.G.
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1989 1988 1987
Summary: The Researcher and team will study the Geodetic Hills Locality. They will collect plant macrofossils to identify and classify the fossil pollen and to determine botanical affinities, deduce and describe the paleoecology and the paleoenvironment....
