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....

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)....

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...

Principal Investigator: Ritchie, J.C.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: The sampling of lake sediment for subsequent laboratory analysis of pollen and other contained material, with the final aim to reconstruct postglacial vegetation and climate....

Principal Investigator: Burden, Elliott
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990 1988 1987
Summary: To continue the study of the geology of Cretaceous and Tertiary rocks of southern Baffin Island near Cape Dyer and to include beds on the north coast of Baffin Island near Pond Inlet and on the southwest shore of Bylot Island. For this study systematic collection of strato of the Hassel and Kanguk formations and Eureka Sound Group from Bylot Island for detailed sedimentology and palynology is pro...

Principal Investigator: Burden, Elliott
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: Mapping and systematic collection of strata for sedimentology, paleontology and palynology to determine deposition of environment....

Principal Investigator: Mode, William N.
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: To study Palynology and late Quaternary climate history by collecting lake sediment samples for future analysis....

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: 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)....

Principal Investigator: Bradley, Raymond S.
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To study the recent geological history of the area and to core lake bottoms in an attempt to ascertain the nature of past climates. The core samples will be analysed for the presence of pollen and small organisms (diatoms and foraminifera)....
