Summary: Detailed observations of breeding and development habits of all species of birds, plant community mapping and sea bird observations....

Principal Investigator: Hutchinson, Tom
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To develop a practical and economic method of revegetation of "difficult" tailings and mine sites in the N.W.T., using acid and metal tolerant vegetation growing naturally at the highly stressed Smoking Hills area of Cape Bathurst, N.W.T....

Principal Investigator: Thomas, Don
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To collect data on late winter habitats and diets of carioub on the Boothia Peninsula for pipeline assessments; to determine how long productivity rates can remain at low levels on Melville and Prince Patrick Islands; to examine growth indices of arctic willow and their relationship to past productivity of caribou; to make management of insular and near insular populations of caribou easier and mo...

Principal Investigator: Kershaw, K.
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To examine the growth and ecology of Stereocaulon paschale and its importance as fodder in caribou winter range....

Principal Investigator: Gill, D.
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: Deltaic geomorphology and fluvial environments will be mapped and studied, sedimentation studies will be done and samples taken for laboratory analysis. Vegetation will be mapped and categorized as to terrestrial, wetland and aquatic. Small mammal trapping, to determine species composition and their use of various vegetation types. Similar field observations will be made on the habitats of delt...

Licensed Year(s): 1976
Summary: Studies of: 1) Plant growth and reproduction as affected by microclimate and grazing, 2) Pollination and seed dispersal of selected species, 3) General vegeational surveying....

Principal Investigator: Van Eyk, Dorothy
Licensed Year(s): 1976
Summary: Classification and mapping of plant communities and determination of the utilization of these habitats by birds and mammals....

Principal Investigator: Johnson, Edward A.
Licensed Year(s): 1976
Summary: To explore the role of fire in the sub-arctic ecosystem. Starting in 1976 and continuing for two years studies will be related to: 1) a biophysical land classification system, 2) peatland vegetation change, 3) regulation of nutrient losses in the sub-arctic ecosystem, and 4) paleoecology....
