NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Washburn, A.L.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 1988 1987
Summary: The researcher will continue the long-term investigation of how the landscape has changed since the glaciers left 10 000 years ago. In particular, this study is examining the effects of frost and permafrost on the landscape. The researcher will be returning to several sites visited in previous years in order to check earlier observations....

Principal Investigator: Gilbert, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991 1990 1988
Summary: The researcher wishes to recover cores of sediment about 2 meters long from the sea floor near Expedition Fiord. These cores will provide confirmation of past acoustic surveys and direct evidence of changes in the physical and biological environment of the fiord. Seven sites in the fiord will have sediment cores removed....

Principal Investigator: MacLean, Brian
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his team will be travelling through Hudson Strait by research ship to take samples of the deposits and sediments in the Strait. They will be investigating the history and conditions of the area based on the sediments record in order to detail the late glacial and post glacial conditions of the Strait....

Principal Investigator: Dyke, Arthur S.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his team will make maps of land features and material that rests on rocks....

Principal Investigator: Dredge, Linda
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and her assistant will map the terrain and take soil and rock samples for laboratory studies....

Principal Investigator: Ritchie, J.C.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: Dr. Ritchie is looking at live plants and the remains of plants at the bottom of lakes to see how plants and weather have changed since the glaciers left the Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk area 10,000 years ago....

Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Glen M
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: to obtain lake sediment cores, peat samples, and tree-ring cores in the Kazan river region to examine the postglacial history of the northern treeline in this region...

Principal Investigator: Lemmen, S. Donald
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To define the extent of ice coverage on Marvin Peninsula during the last glaciation, and the nature and extent of glacial features which predate the last glaciation. To recover sediment samples from Disraeli Fiord in order to define contemporary glaciomarine litho and biofacies. To study postglacial emergence to clarify the nature of relative sea-level changes in the region....

Principal Investigator: Short, Susan K.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To complete a lake coring and glacial mapping program in the region of NWT Baffin Island and the settlement of Arctic Bay. Radiocarbon dates obtained on an organic section located near the settlement of Arctic Bay have provided the first evidence for terrestrial materials older than 11,000 and younger than 40,000 year BP from the eastern Canadian Arctic; it is important to place the site within a...

Principal Investigator: Jacobs, John D.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To continue research begun in 1978: to describe the sequence of post-glacial climate, vegetation, and environmental change. (Paleoenvironments of Sourthern Baffin Island)...
