Flora of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago
Principal Investigator: Aiken, Susan
Licensed Year(s): 2001 1999
Summary: The research team will be based in Tuktoyaktuk, and travel by scheduled flight from Inuvik. No field camps will be used, and all transport in the field will be on foot. Data will be collected primarily through photographic documentation of both the plants of interest, and the typical environments in which these plants are found. A single voucher specimen of each plant photographed will be mainta...

Insect Biodiversity and Biogeography along the Horton River, NWT
Principal Investigator: Currie, Douglas
Licensed Year(s): 2002 2000
Summary: This study will be a comprehensive collecting programme that will provide baseline information about aquatic-insect composition along the Horton River. The survey will also provide baseline information about aquatic insect composition, which may be used to monitor changes in water quality over time. The survey will last 3 1/2 weeks as the research team travels by canoe along the Horton River. T...

Preliminary Reconnaissance of Wildlife and Vegetation of the Proposed Sahyoue/Edacho National Historic Park, Edacho Portion, Great Bear Lake, NT.
Principal Investigator: Moore, Steve M
Licensed Year(s): 2002 2001 2000
Summary: This study will gather baseline information on wildlife and vegetation to help fulfill step 5 of the protected areas strategy process. Two people (Steve Moore and one guide from Deline) will travel by boat from Deline to Edacho Peninsula and spend six days collecting baseline information on wildlife and ecosystem units. Thirty-six sites will be assessed and classified to ecosystem type. For eac...

Measuring Genetic Diversity in Small False Asphodel, Tofieldia pusilla (Liliaceae), in Glacial Refugia, Disjunct Populations on Lake Superior and Across its Broad Arctic Range : A Tool for Prioritizing Sites for Conservation
Principal Investigator: Line, Jennifer
Licensed Year(s): 2000
Summary: This research will contribute to an increased understanding of ecological integrity in Nahanni National Park, provide information on the importance of glacial refugia as banks of genetic diversity and highlight the value of genetic diversity as an indicator of ecological integrity. The researcher will be transported to sampling sites within the park by Parks Canada staff (plane, helicopter). At...

Vegetation Mapping at Tuktuk Nogait National Park
Principal Investigator: Raillard, Martin
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: This project will take place in Tuktuk Nogait National Park in 1998 and 1999. The objective of the project is to map the vegetation of the park. As many areas of the Park as possible will be hiked and the various vegetation communities along the hiking route will be put into one of several classes, and their exact geographical location recorded. Once the field season is over, these various geograp...

Enhancement of Arctic Charr Culture in Canada
Principal Investigator: Ballantyne, James
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: The project will develop new, improved lines of arctic charr for the aquaculture industry by sampling arctic charr from sites throughout the Canadian arctic, characterizing the charr physiologically and genetically, and selectively breeding for traits desirable for hatchery culture (improved survival at higher temperatures and salinities). Genetic characterization will facilitate future stock iden...

The Evolution and Interrelationships of Lungfish
Principal Investigator: Cumbaa, Stephen L
Licensed Year(s): 2010 2008 1997 1995
Summary: The researchers will collect samples of Devonian-age rocks in which evidence of fossil fish (primarily lungfish) are present and take them back to the museum laboratory for preparation, study and comparison with other samples in the Museum's collection. All work to be done by hand tools in the field (hammers and chisels)....

Trilobite Systematics and Event Stratigraphy of the Paleozoic.
Principal Investigator: Chatterton, Brian D.E.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991
Summary: Rock samples will be collected for processing in the lab. Some of these rocks will be processed for fossils (primarily silicified trilobites) which will be photographed and described for classification purposes. The data gathered will then be used for understanding the ancient (350-450 million years ago) ecology and the correlation of these rocks. Levels where there are extinctions followed by e...

Holocene Bowhead Whale (Balaena mysticetus) Skeletal Morphometrics and Taxonomy in the Eastern Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Savelle, James M.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1990
Summary: The researcher and his team will take a series of measurements on crania and mandibles of naturally stranded early Holocene bowhead whales. This will enable the original length of individual bowheads at death to be determined. These data will have immediate applications in the fields of environmental change and Thule archaeology....
