Holocene paleoecology of the central Canadian Arctic Islands
Principal Investigator: Gajewski, Konrad
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2004 2001 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
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...


Palynological studies in the Mackenzie Observatory
Principal Investigator: Jette, Helene
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1993 1992
Summary: This project continues to examine the history of plant communities in the Mackenzie River and Delta regions over the past 15,000 years. Using a hand auger, core samples of sediments are taken from lake bottoms and the sediments are analyzed for the presence of pollen and diatoms. Radiocarbon dating, a technique used to estimate age, will estimate when certain species were present in the past....


Evolution of High-Latitude Floras
Principal Investigator: Basinger, James F.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 1989 1988 1987
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...
