Environmental study of the aquatic resources of the Thonokeid Lake area
Principal Investigator: Couture, Richard
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1994 1993
Summary: The researchers will continue their study on fish and other aquatic organisms found in lakes and streams of the Thonokeid Lake area. Muscle and liver tissues of fish will be taken in order to assess levels of heavy metals. In addition, water chemistry data will be collected....

Hydrology and geochemistry of a high arctic lake basin: Colour Lake, Axel Heiberg Island, NWT
Principal Investigator: English, Michael C
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991
Summary: The researchers are interested in understanding how physical factors (snowmelt, rainfall, solar radiation) play a role in thawing the upper part of the ground each year during the spring and summer. Instruments in the ground will collect data that will estimate how much energy (from the sun) is entering into and melting the frozen ground. Other instruments will measure snowmelt, rainfall and the...

Western Arctic area stream inventory and assessment
Principal Investigator: Ferguson, Brian
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher will visit selected locations on the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula in order to measure the physical and chemical characteristics of streams as well as to document the different types of freshwater animals found in these streams. This information will be important in assessing the fish habitats and fishery potential of the region. In addition, the information may be important in assessing ...

Impact of fire and climate change on a boreal lake
Principal Investigator: Moser, Katrina
Licensed Year(s): 1993
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...

Wager Bay Basin Overview
Principal Investigator: Swyripa, Murray
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The Water Resources Division, along with the Inland Waters Directorate and Canadian Parks Service, are planning a cooperative water quality program for the Wager Bay area. This program will involve measuring stream flow rates and sampling for water quality at a number of sites on rivers that flow into Wager Bay within the proposed Wager Bay National Park area. As well, water and sediment samples...

Mass balance measurements of White and Baby Glaciers and under-ice chemistry of Colour Lake, Axel Heiberg Island, NWT
Principal Investigator: Adams, Peter
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1991 1990 1988 1987
Summary: Field work for this ongoing project involves taking measure- ments of snow accumulation (from the previous winter) and meltwater accumulation (from the spring) for the White and Baby Glaciers. Changes in the size of the glaciers can provide information about whether the climate is warming. Colour Lake is being investigated because its water is acidic: data will be collected to determine the rea...

Preliminary Investigation of Basic Chemical Conditions of Water and Fish from Kasegalik Lake
Principal Investigator: Hermanson, Mark
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1990
Summary: The researcher and his team will attempt to identify whether or not Kasegalik Lake has fresh water atop relict sea water. The presence of salt water may influence the depositional behaviour of pollutants delivered by the atmosphere. They will analyze some Kasegalik sediments and fish from the lake to make an initial determination of whether or not further studies are warranted....

Arctic Fieldwork, 1992
Principal Investigator: Beyens, L.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1987
Summary: In the vicinity of Cambridge Bay the researcher hopes to gain more insight in the biogeography and ecology of unicellulars, i.e. diatoms and testate amoebae. A small collection of samples of terrestrial and aquatic material will be undertaken....

Vegetation Response to Global Warming in the Mackenzie River Basin: Interations Between Northern Boreal Forests, Wetlands and Regional Hydrology
Principal Investigator: Nicholson, Barbara
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The Researcher will map the present distribution of boreal and subarctic wetlands in the Mackenzie River Basin. Wetland vegetation and water chemistry will be described for areas immediately surrounding permanent weather stations. The ecological relationships between climate, wetland water chemistry and wetland species distribution will be analyzed. A predictive indicator model will be built to pr...

The Chemical and Physical Limnology of Truelove Lowland, Devon Island, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: Robilliard, L.J.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: In 1991, lake, pond and inlet water at Truelove Lowland, Devon Island was sampled to provide a limnologic description of this particular High Arctic setting. The objective is to group the lakes on the basis of various chemical and physical properties. The project will continue in 1992....
