199219911990 Summary:
This ongoing project examines how vegetation has changed in response to changes in climate. I am using the history of vegetation, as recorded by the fossilized pollen that is present in lake sediments, to determine how vegetation in the arctic has changed over thousands of years. Fossilized pollen is collected by taking core samples from lake bottoms on Prince of Wales and Bathurst Islands. Pre...

1990198919881987 Summary:
Begun in 1985, this project will continue the study of plant evolution in high latitudes and the exploration for fossils in rocks of the Eureka Sound Group of Axel Heiberg and Ellesmere Islands. This season the field work will expand to Strathcona Fiord area and to east central Axel Heiberg Island. This information is used in the interpretation of global climatic change and the evolution of temper...

Summary:
To examine and sample the unconsolidated sediments of various small lakes in an area surrounding Hyndman Lake (50 km. radius) ESE of Inuvik, for the purpose of making laboratory analyses of Carbon - 14 age, pollen stratigraphy and other microfossils. The ultimate objective is to reconstruct the past vegetation and environment of the area....
