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...


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....


Field Sampling and Collecting of Tertiary Sediments in the Geodetic Hills Fossil Forest Locality, Eastern Axel Heiberg Island, NWT, for Plant Macro-Fossils
Principal Investigator: Gruchy, C.G.
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1989 1988 1987
Summary: The Researcher and team will study the Geodetic Hills Locality. They will collect plant macrofossils to identify and classify the fossil pollen and to determine botanical affinities, deduce and describe the paleoecology and the paleoenvironment....


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)....


Licence #2655
Principal Investigator: Jacobs, John D.
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To undertake a study of past climates using vegetation surveys, pollen studies and soil sampling techniques. Findings will be correlated to the archaeological record (Dr. M. Maxwell)....
