Modern Pollen Deposition On Western Devon Island
Principal Investigator: Gajewski, Konrad
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2004 2001 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: This is the continuation of a multi-year project to determine the long-term (1000's of years) vegetation history. Researchers will collect sediment samples from the bottom of a series of small lakes. Samples of the upermost sediment will be collected with a dredge or short corer. In the lab pollen will be extracted and identified. This data will be entered on a databank to be used to determine th...


Palynology, stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Christopher, the Hassel Bastion Ridge Strand Fiord and the Kanguk formations on Amund Ringnes and Axel Heiberg Islands
Principal Investigator: Hills, L.V.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The purpose of this research is to examine the fossil spores, pollen and dinoflagellates found in the sediments of Amund Ringnes and western Axel Heiberg Islands. Additional data will be collected on the rock formations and mineral content of the areas. This research provides information on the past life history of the region as well as information about the petroleum potential....


Trace-Element Air Pollution Monitoring in the Coppermine River Area and Reproduction Strategies of "Picea mariana and Picea glauca" (Black and White Spruce) Along the Arctic Treeline as Early Indicators of Climate Change
Principal Investigator: Gould, William
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The research involves the collection of lichens and spruce tree seed and pollen for analysis. The researchers will analyze the lichen samples for pollutants and will study the seed and pollen collections as part of a climate change study....


The relationships between modern pollen sedimentation and present vegetation distribution on Truelove Lowland, Devon Island.
Principal Investigator: Pearce, Cheryl M.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To 1) collect and analyze present-day pollen sedimentation from major plant communities on several high arctic site types, 2) to correlate this production with actual plant cover, and 3) to compare the modern pollen rain to historical pollen deposits analyzed in the Department of Geography, University of Western Ontario (R. King) and during the I.B.P. Project (Jankovska and Bliss)....


Treeline plant population response to postglacial climatic change in North Central Canada.
Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Glen M
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To use fossil pollen and plant macrofossils from small lakes to reconstruct the response of plant populations in the treeline zone to climatic change. Modern pollen surface samples from small lakes in the treeline zone will be collected to aoid in the interpretation of the fossil pollen samples. The study area will include the boreal forest, forest-tundra and tundra zones near Yellowknife (115 W...


Licence #2776
Principal Investigator: Short, Susan K.
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: To analyze changes in the modern and fossil pollen assemblages of the Central Canadian Arctic through the collection and analysis of modern moss samples and peat and lake sections....

Principal Investigator: Elliott, Deborah
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: As part of a Ph.D. program to ascertain stability of the northern Canadian tree limit through collecting samples of seeds, pollen, surface soil and cuttings. Tree cores will also be taken....
