Summary:
The objective of this research project is to assess the sediment quality of Baker Creek. This will be achieved by analyzing factors influencing arsenic mobility from sediments to overlying water and assessing the toxicology of the sediments using exposure tests on indicator organisms.
Core samples of Baker Creek sediments will be taken by the researchers using aluminum pipes driven into the gro...

2004 Summary:
This project is a continuation of work begun in 2004. The researchers were not able to do their field work in 2004, and will try again in 2005. Historic mention is made of springs at Windy Point on the north shore of Great Slave Lake. The research team...

20012000 Summary:
The objectives of the research are to examine how increasing active layer depth, surficial geology, vegetation, slope and aspect impact changes in shallow groundwater and surface stream chemistry in two subbasins of the Daring Lake basin in the headwater...

Summary:
The researcher will collect samples of sediment and water from small lakes along Highways 5 and 6 between Fort Smith and Hay River. She will be identifying different species of diatoms (small organisms that live in the water) and conducting a number of chemical analyses on the water. Additional data will be collected on the timing of the most recent fire as well as the area's geology and plant c...

1990 Summary:
During the last glacial period, 110,000 to 5,000 years to present some lakes escaped glaciation. The Researcher will retrieve sediment cores from three upland lakes to investigate the physical responses of the sediments and the biological responses of algae toward this climatic event....

Summary:
The Researcher will: map the local geology adjacent the hotsprings; conduct a geochemical analysis of the springwaters; monitor the physical properties (pH, temp.); calculate natural discharge rates, conduct a pumping test and monitor depositional rates of tufa accumulations....
