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: 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: 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)...

Principal Investigator: Aitken, Alec E.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: Collecting fossil clams from raised marine deposits in the vicinity of the villages to aid our understanding of marine ecology at the end of the Wisconsin Ice Age....

Principal Investigator: Jacobs, John D.
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To carry out micrometeoroligical measurements, mapping, and collection of lake sediments, soils, and plants for analysis. The object is to describe the sequence of post-glacial climate, vegetation, and environmental change....

Principal Investigator: Jacobs, John D.
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: To undertake field mapping, collect meteorological measurements as well as soil and sediment samples for latter use to analyze for post-glacial climate and environmental change....

Principal Investigator: Banting, Douglas R.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: To examine soil development after the last glacial period....

Principal Investigator: Banting, Douglas R.
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To examine soil profiles and determine differences in the environment occurring after the last glacial period....

Principal Investigator: Terasmae, J.
Licensed Year(s): 1975
Summary: The study of fossils, microscopic organisms, and fragments in sediments to construct enrivonmental changes that have occurred since the last glaciation....
