1993199219911990 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...

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....

198919881987 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....

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)....

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)....
