Summary: Two individuals from each of the communities of Inuvik, Aklavik, Tsiigehtchic, Fort McPherson, and Tuktoyaktuk will be interviewed about their local knowledge of tundra swan biology. Information collected will educate the researcher about local tundra swan ecology and may help generate questions that are important to communities. Interview methods will follow those used by the Arctic Borderlands E...

Summary: Ambient air quality data will be collected to the northeast of the Community of Inuvik. Monitored parameters will include sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and ozone. These data will be collected by a series of passive sampling devices, that will require servicing on a monthly basis. The sample media will be changed out at the end of each month, and returned to the laboratory for detailed chemica...

Summary: Nahendeh Land and Environmental Services proposes to conduct baseline studies on behalf of Anadarko Canada Corporation, to determine the presence or absence of fish and wildlife habitat in the vicinity of the proposed project. The wildlife program will consist of a literature review, which would document any information on wildlife populations in the general project area, and identify any data ga...

Summary: A detailed data collection program will be undertaken on all major streams in the proposed pipeline corridor. The proposed survey will begin in mid-September and continue until late December, 2001 and will consist of comprehensive studies at selected streams, as discussed below, to define how the streams behave and how they change in time. The focus of the hydrology component is on describing h...

Summary: The BC Terrestrial Ecosystem Mapping inventory standard will be used to provide a uniform method of describing vegetation, soil and terrain based on air photo interpretation and field data collection. The sampling sites will be located on Crown Land contained within a 1 km corridor with 'bulges' in areas of special concern such as river crossings. Surveying sites accessed by helicopter, boat, veh...

Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The proposed research program will be carried out on Crown Lands located within the Sahtu Settlement Area. The research team will conduct water and aquatic, terrestrial and social reconnaissance surveys on Crown Lands located within the proposed development area. Helicopters will be used, to allow aerial examination of specific sites and, if required, to land for ground inspections. Helicopters...

Summary: The research team will conduct water and aquatic, terrestrial and social reconnaissance surveys of the proposed development area. Helicopters will be used, to allow aerial examination of specific sites and, if required, to land for ground inspections. Helicopters will fly at elevations greater than 100 m above ground level (AGL), although at some sites, it may be necessary to fly at lower altit...

Summary: The proposed field research program on lands located within the Sahtu Settlement Area will include the following general areas of study: (1) freshwater aquatics (freshwater fish and their habitats, water quality, hydrology); (2) terrestrial wildlife, including waterfowl; (3) vegetation and soils; (4) archaeology; and (5) noise. For all studies, access will be by helicopter, boat or on foot, as ap...
