Summary: The purpose of this project is to update the last work on the plants of the Canadaian far north "Flora of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago" which was published in 1957 by A.E. Porsild. The researcher will be based at Polar Bear Cabin and Green Cabin both in Aulavik National Park. Photgraphs will be taken of plants and plant habitat. Some plants will be collected an placed in presses, or a few leave...

Summary: The purpose of this study is to collect information about a variety ecosystems crossed by or in close proximity to the potential routes for a proposed pipeline. Fisheries and water quality studies will involve a survey of fish habitat, and of the water quality of any water bodies allong the proposed routes. Any fish collection will be outlined by Department of Fisheries and Oceans research permits...

Summary: The objective of the study is to determine the presence or absence of fish habitat and wildlife in the vicinity of the proposed project. A literature search for registered archaeological sites within the project area has been started. A helicopter will be used to access the four well sites and the proposed access routes. The development area will be surveyed by foot. All wildlife observations (ma...

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...

Summary: The main study objectives are to: 1) determine the status of permafrost landforms in the study area, and 2) determine long-term recovery after abandonment of the CANOL No. 1 project. Access during the summer is via the Yukon along the Canol Road through Macmillan Pass. Beyond the base camp mountain bikes and foot will be the means of transport. Automated microclimate stations powered by solar ene...

Summary: Fisheries and vegetation field work will begin in June 1998. Three small streams north of Fort Liard will be surveyed to determine if fish are present or absent and to assess the fish habitat in each creek. Two of these creeks are tributaries to the Liard River and are located near the P66 well site. Fisherman Creek, the tributary draining into Fisherman Lake from the Liard Range will also be surv...

Summary: We propose to transport ad install new automatic weather stations by truck, fixed wing and helicopter to three sites in the Fort Simpson area between mid-June through mid July 1998. The automatic weather stations are both solar-powered and battery-powered, and collect and transmit meteorological data for use in weather forecasts and warnings. The weather stations will be used to support the scien...

Summary: The principle researcher and one (or two) field assistants will be flown into Hook Lake base camp by either helicopter or fixed wing aircraft (transportation and field support confirmed by Renewable Resources, NWT). Temporary vegetation (herbaceous) transects will be established on the following prairies in the Hook Lake area: Dan's Prairie, North Prairie, Paul's Prairie, Ann's Prairie, Hook Lake ...

Summary: The project will focus on understanding, analyzing and evaluating the reactions of the northern boreal forest ecosystems in the Great Slave Lake region due to man made stress of mining, settlement and connecting activities. The project will try to develop some general conclusions, statements and model systems. The research team (2 persons) will come from Europe to Yellowknife by plane. The base wi...
