Principal Investigator: Herzschuh, Ulrike
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5941. Our aim for this study would be to better understand the climate history and paleoecological since the last glacial maximum at the margin of glaciated regions and to help compare regions between formerly glaciated and unglaciated regions in terms of changes in biodiversity, the movement of the tree line and the effec...

Summary: The Devonian patch reefs of Mercy Bay, Banks Island are important as an example of fossil coral reefs that may also be able to provide insight into the nature of a reef ecosystem immediately before a time of global reef collapse. The researcher will fly to the Parks Canada cabin at Mercy Bay and will use a helicopter to travel to 5 camps and stay at each fly camp for a period of 2 days. Equipmen...

Principal Investigator: Lemmen, Donald
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher will map, describe, explain the surficial deposits and geomorphology and study glacial history and relative sea level changes. This will involve mapping and surveying as well as the collection of small samples for sedimentological, geochemical and paleoecological analysis....

Principal Investigator: Lemmen, Donald
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researchers will collect small samples of surficial materials for sedimentological, geochemical and paleoecological analysis. They will map, describe and explain the unconsolidated deposits, landforms, permafrost and organic cover and study patterns of glacial dispersal and drift geochemistry....

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....

Principal Investigator: Elliott, D.K.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: This research project will involve the measurement and description of stratigraphic sections and the collection of rock and fossil samples for laboratory study....

Principal Investigator: Burden, Elliott
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990 1988 1987
Summary: To continue developing comparative models for palynomorph dispersal and biostratigraphy in strata on the flanks of rifted and subsiding basins by mapping the strata of Eclipse Trough, Bylot Island...
