Principal Investigator:Worsley, Peter Licensed Year(s):
1988
Summary:
Dr. Worsley is coming from England with his research associates to continue his studies of how the rocks, landscape, and permafrost of Banks Island have changed in the last million years. He is interested in using this information to try to determine what conditions where like in England long ago....
Principal Investigator:Smith, Rod Licensed Year(s):
1988
Summary:
Rod Smith and Louise Hollingsworth are part of Dr. King's research party working on the Truelove Lowland. They will be extracting columns of soil from the bottoms of the larger lakes to determine what the climate was like long ago. They will also collect soil samples from the areas surrounding the lake for comparative purposes....

1987 Summary:
Chris Somr is returning as part of Dr. King's research party working on the Truelove Lowland. He is extracting columns of soil from peat bogs to determine what the climate was like long ago....

to determine the macro and microhabitats of northern ground beetles of the open woodland and tundra-open woodland subdivisions within the treeline zone...
Principal Investigator:Mallamo, Mark Licensed Year(s):
1987
Summary:
To study the carbonate rocks of the Allen Bay Formation (Ordovician and Silurian in age) on Cornwallis and Griffith Islands by mapping and collecting different rock and fossil types. This will enable the interpretation of the physical setting or environment in which these rocks were deposited, some 450 million years ago....

1987
Summary:
The sampling of lake sediment for subsequent laboratory analysis of pollen and other contained material, with the final aim to reconstruct postglacial vegetation and climate....
Principal Investigator:Dawson, Mary R. Licensed Year(s):
1985
Summary:
Paleontological collecting of vertbrate and plants ranging in age from Late Cretaceous to Middle Eocene; also to study the stratigraphic relationships of the fossil-bearing deposits and interpreting both the conditions that these rocks represent and the geologic relationships within the Eureka Sound Formation....
Principal Investigator:Jacobs, John D. Licensed Year(s):
1985
Summary:
To continue research begun in 1978: to describe the sequence of post-glacial climate, vegetation, and environmental change. (Paleoenvironments of Sourthern Baffin Island)...
Principal Investigator:Elliott, D.K. Licensed Year(s):
1985
Summary:
Biostratigraphic sections will be taken through the Peel Sound and Somerset Island formations on Somerset Island to increase knowledge of the relationship between the arctic Paleozoic vertebrate faunas and those in western Europe. To collect material and paleoecological data to study the habitats of early vertebrates....
Principal Investigator:Jones, Brian Licensed Year(s):
