NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Komers, Petr
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: Eleven plant species of national significance are found in the Mackenzie Delta. Following a preliminary classification using satellite images, the presence or absence of these species within sample areas will be determined during field surveys. After field data are collected, a more refined landscape classification model will be produced. To refine and test this model, 30 sites per vegetation com...

Principal Investigator: Gillespie, Lynn J.
Licensed Year(s): 1997 1995 1994
Summary: We plan to collect living plants, 6-10 plants of each species from each collection site. In addition, several plants of each species will be pressed and dried as voucher specimens to be used to check the identification. Photographs of the plants and their habitats will be made in the field and will be used for both research and teaching purposes. Upon our return to Ottawa the plant material wil...

Principal Investigator: Aiken, Susan
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The researcher will continue her study on NWT grasses. She will collect living plants in order to conduct chemical analyses on the plant tissue. These tests will help to identify different species of grasses (especially those that look very similar) and also help to determine where these species originated from. In addition, the researcher has small experiments on grass being conducted by staff...

Principal Investigator: Squires Taylor, Cindy
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The researcher and her team will conduct helicopter surveys of vegetation types. The field data will aid in the computer classification of satellite imagery. The results will be vegetation maps of the Mackenzie Valley, which can be plotted on paper or entered into a digital database on a geographic information system (GIS) for further analysis with other data such as wildlife habitat, forest fir...

Principal Investigator: Bain, John F.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To undertake a field study of a family of annual, biennial or perennial herbs (SENECIO Sp) as part of a program towards a Ph.d. degree. Collections of these plants will be made and retained for further laboratory analysis, cataloguing and classification....

Principal Investigator: Moore, T.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To undertake a study of the factors and processes which affect soil formation in arctic, subarctic and boreal areas. Samples of soils, vegetation and water will be collected, cataloqued and retained for future laboratory analysis....

Principal Investigator: Gillet, John M.
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To collect samples of all types of plants for subsequent analysis and classification. These plants will help broaden the National Museum collections....

Principal Investigator: Lipkin, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: As part of a large study of a particular species of grass (Dupontia), to collect samples of complete plants for further laboratory analysis and classification of subspecies....

Principal Investigator: Olson, Randall
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: To collect specimens of Radcatum papaver for further laboratory analysis and to make a catalogue of plant species in the area....
