Paleoenvironment of the Truelove Lowland Area, Devon Island, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: King, Roger H.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991 1990 1988
Summary: The Researcher and his team will study the age, chemistry and fossil organisms preserved in the lake sediments of the Truelove Lowland and similar coastal lowlands. The information will be used to reconstruct the environmental changes that have taken place in these Polar Oases during the last 40,000 years....


High-resolution Holocene Climatic Reconstructions from the Eastern Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Overpeck, Jonathan
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1991 1989
Summary: The Researcher and his team will collect samples of mud from the bottom of several undisturbed lakes on southern Baffin Island. The samples will then be studied to examine chemistry, texture and fossils....


Expedition Fiord: Sedimentary Environment Since the Ice Ages.
Principal Investigator: Gilbert, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991 1990 1988
Summary: The researcher wishes to recover cores of sediment about 2 meters long from the sea floor near Expedition Fiord. These cores will provide confirmation of past acoustic surveys and direct evidence of changes in the physical and biological environment of the fiord. Seven sites in the fiord will have sediment cores removed....


Limnology of Lake Hazen: Fish, Atmospheric Pollution and Climate History
Principal Investigator: Brunskill, Gregg
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: Sediment samples from Hazen Lake will help scientist understand the global movement of airborn pollutants. In addition, various species of the Lake Hazen biomass will be collected and analyzed to determine if atmoshperic pollutants are present....


Devonian Carbonates and Reef Development
Principal Investigator: Pedder, Alan E.H.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher will collect 1/2 to 2 kilogram samples of limestone. These are sent to a lab for processing which leaves small fossils of calcium phosphate. These are studied to determine their age and the conditions of the life of the fossils....


Sedimentology of Channel-fills and Point Bar Deposits of the Former Liard and South Nahanni Rivers
Principal Investigator: Smith, Derald
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and team will study the sediments ( mud and sand) in river cutbanks to reconstruct the paleogeography (river history) of the Nahanni Butte topographic basin....


Estimation of Atmospheric Fluxes of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) and Pesticides to the Southern Hudson Bay Region by Analysis of Dated Lake Sediments
Principal Investigator: Hermanson, Mark
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his assistant will collect sediment cores from two lakes (Annak and Imitavik) in the Sanikiluaq area. Cores will be sliced into horizontal sections and will be analyzed for radioisotopes used to identify ages of the sediment layers. The sections will also be analyzed for organic compounds....


Enivronmental Studies of the Ice-Bearing Region in Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Fujino, Kazuo
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and field team will conduct a geological survey and topographic traverse survey around the massive ground ice. They will take samples for ecological study and geochemical analysis....


Brachiopod Stratigraphy and Sedimentology of Upper Devonian Strat in Hay River, Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Stanton, Linda
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher will study outcrops and collect rock samples to clarify existing information on Hay River area biostratigraphy and paleontology. A comparison of Hay River brachiopods (fossils) will be made with other regional, North American and global collections....


Quaternary Geology of Hudson Strait
Principal Investigator: MacLean, Brian
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his team will be travelling through Hudson Strait by research ship to take samples of the deposits and sediments in the Strait. They will be investigating the history and conditions of the area based on the sediments record in order to detail the late glacial and post glacial conditions of the Strait....
