Principal Investigator: Richard, Pierre
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The researcher and team will continue their study to census walrus in the area of northern Hudson Bay and beluga in the area of southeast Baffin Island. Using remote sensing tools and twin otter aircraft they will census portions of the range of walrus and beluga to determine their distribution and abundance....

Principal Investigator: Morrison, R.I.G.
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1989
Summary: Dr. Morrison and his research team intend to gather information on the breeding and shoreline habitats of birds in the Foxe Basin area. They hope to fill a major gap in the knowledge of avifauna in the Canadian Arctic, specifically, population census, breeding densities, return rates, migration and wintering ranges and remote sensing studies on vegetation and terrain habitats....

Principal Investigator: Bailey, Robert C.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To sample the organisms living on rock surfaces (benthic invertebrates) in at least 25 streams fo the Mackenzie Delta area. The number of species present and their relative abundance will be estimated and correlated with environmental factors such as the stream size and flow rate. Habitat data will also be collected at each site....

Principal Investigator: McDonald, John W.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To conduct bowhead whale surveys by (1) systematic aerial surveys, (2) satellite oceanography and ground truthing, and (3) photogrammetric and reconnaissance studies....

Principal Investigator: Norton, Pamela
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To monitor the white whale migration to and distribution and abundance in the Mackenzie Estuary. Secondary objectives are to observe white whale behaviour, to record whale-vessel interactions (if possible) and to quantify the number of whales missed by observers under normal survey conditions. All marine mammal sightings will be recorded....

Principal Investigator: Stewart, D. Bruce
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To gather, update and compile information on fish resources and human usage of those resources within the study area. Information will be collected through a review of existing literature, personal interviews with government employees, researchers and local residents, and by synoptic sampling surveys....

Principal Investigator: Riewe, R.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To determine the distribution and abundance of narwhal whales and to study their behaviour....

Principal Investigator: Milani, David W.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To conduct a census of marine mammals and other wildlife species sighted from supply and drilling vessels....

Principal Investigator: Crawford, R.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To study Arctic Cod distribution and abundance....

Principal Investigator: Harwood, Lois
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To monitor the relative abundance and distribution of bowhead whales relative to oil and gas industry activities....
