This activity will significantly upgrade the outdated geoscience framework of this area, expand the impact of new geo-constraints on the mainland (GEM-2 RAE Thelon Activity findings), and provide relevant data and knowledge to this remote region of Nunavut that, because of global warming and the resulting increased shipping, will increasingly be exposed to matters related to resource assessment and economic development.The primary activity (July 9 –August 13, 2018) involves daily foot traverses, 8-12 km in length, by pairs of mappers. Six traverse pairs will be set out at different locations each morning by helicopter, and will be picked up sequentially each evening by helicopter. During the day, the helicopter will mostly remain at the basecamp. Observations and interpretations of rock exposures will be recorded on traverse with a hand-held, battery-operated computer and downloaded each evening into the project database. These observations will be integrated with available aeromagnetic data to define and characterize bedrock units. Fist-size samples taken with hammer by hand will yield additional age/timing information and lithogeochemical data from which mineral prospectivity can be assessed. Collectively, the nature, age, and deformation history of the region will be resolved and portrayed in new publically- available maps and reports.Helicopter is the primary transportation mode, with flying not more than 3 hours per day, mainly to drop off traverse pairs and retrieve them sequentially each evening. A twin otter flight from Resolute Bay every ten days will bring groceries, mail and transport local residents to and from the camp.Operations will take place from a low-impact, temporary, tent camp to be constructed with material brought in and flown out when completed. The proposed camp site, located 200 km south of the Resolute Bay, is located near Creswell Bay where there is an existing fixed-wing Twin Otter landing strip and fresh drinking water. Office and Kitchen shelter will be constructed with 12’ by 14’ cotton tents supported by aluminum poles, while small, cotton, single centre-pole (Logan) tents will provide individual, personal sleeping space. The overarching intent of this project is to make available modern knowledge for a region between Taloyoak and Resolute Bay, so that stakeholders can understand and assess its geological history and mineral resource potential using up-to-date, relevant data. Uiviititut: En 2017, l’activité Géosciences intégrées presqu’île de Boothia-île Somerset dans la région du passage du Nord-Ouest de GEM 2 a effectué pendant six semaines la cartographie du substratum rocheux avec l’appui de nouvelles données de levé aéromagnétique à haute résolution, ainsi que des études des strates paléozoïques et des roches superficielles à travers la presqu’île de Boothia. La région est une zone pionnière dont les connaissances sont tirées des cartographies réalisées en 1962 et 1986, mais qui n’avaient pas bénéficié des contraintes qu’auraient apportées des levés aéromagnétiques ou la géochronologie U Pb. La nouvelle cartographie et les ensembles de données à valeur ajoutée amélioreront grandement le cadre géoscientifique désuet de cette région, étendront les effets des conclusions de l’activité Rae/Thelon de GEM 2 sur le continent (Berman et coll. 2014, Berman et coll. 2016) et fourniront des données et des connaissances pertinentes sur cette région isolée du Nunavut laquelle, à cause du réchauffement planétaire et la hausse subséquente du trafic maritime, sera de plus en plus exposée aux enjeux d’évaluation des ressources et de développement économique.

  • 198 13. Repulse Bay. This Is an Important Summer Area for Seals
    198 13. Repulse Bay. This is an important summer area for seals (Canadian Wildlife Service 1972) and a primary seal-hunting area for Repulse Bay. 14. Roes Welcome Sound. This is an important concentration area for ringed seals and an important hunting area for Repulse Bay. Marine traffic, materials staging, and construction of the crossing could displace seals or degrade their habitat. 15. Southampton-Coats Island. The southern coastal area of Southampton Island is an important concentration area for ringed seals and is the primary ringed and bearded seal hunting area for the Coral Harbour Inuit. Fisher and Evans Straits and all coasts of Coats Island are important seal-hunting areas in late summer and early fall. Marine traffic, materials staging, and construction of the crossing could displace seals or degrade their habitat. 16.7.2 Communities Affected Communities that could be affected by impacts on seal populations are Resolute and, to a lesser degree, Spence Bay, Chesterfield Inlet, and Gjoa Haven. Effects on Arctic Bay would be minor. Coral Harbour and Repulse Bay could be affected if the Quebec route were chosen. Seal meat makes up the most important part of the diet in Resolute, Spence Bay, Coral Harbour, Repulse Bay, and Arctic Bay. It is a secondary, but still important food in Chesterfield Inlet and Gjoa Haven. Seal skins are an important source of income for Spence Bay, Resolute, Coral Harbour, Repulse Bay, and Arctic Bay and a less important income source for Chesterfield Inlet and Gjoa Haven. 16.7.3 Data Gaps Major data gaps concerning impacts on seal populations are: 1.

  • The Late Wisconsinan and Holocene Record of Walrus (Odobenus Rosmarus) from North America: a Review with New Data from Arctic and Atlantic Canada ARTHUR S
    ARCTIC VOL. 52, NO. 2 (JUNE 1999) P. 160–181 The Late Wisconsinan and Holocene Record of Walrus (Odobenus rosmarus) from North America: A Review with New Data from Arctic and Atlantic Canada ARTHUR S. DYKE,1 JAMES HOOPER,2 C. RICHARD HARINGTON3 and JAMES M. SAVELLE4 (Received 30 March 1998; accepted in revised form 20 October 1998) ABSTRACT. The Late Wisconsinan and Holocene record of the Atlantic walrus is known from numerous collections of bones and tusks from Arctic Canada and south to North Carolina, as well as from many archaeological sites in the Arctic and Subarctic. In contrast, the Pacific walrus has no dated Late Wisconsinan or early Holocene record in North America, and it may have been displaced into the northwest Pacific at Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). The Atlantic walrus rapidly exploited newly deglaciated territory, moving northward from its LGM refugium and reaching the Bay of Fundy by 12800 B.P., the Grand Banks by 12500 B.P., southern Labrador by 11 500 B.P., and the central Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) by 9700 B.P. Its southern range limit may have retracted to the Bay of Fundy by ca. 7500 B.P. Within the CAA, walrus remains cluster in two main age groups: 9700 to 8500 B.P. and 5000 to 4/3000 B.P. This pattern strongly resembles the distribution of bowhead whale radiocarbon ages from the same area, which suggests a common control by sea-ice conditions. Walrus remains occur in Indian culture archaeological sites as old as 7500 B.P. and, in some cases (Namu, British Columbia, and Mackinac Island, Michigan), they evidently represent long-distance human transport.

  • The Use of Dog Sledges During the British Search for the Missing Franklin Expedition in the North American Arctic Islands, 1848–59 WILLIAM BARR1
    ARCTIC VOL. 62, NO. 3 (SEPTEMBER 2009) P. 257–272 The Use of Dog Sledges during the British Search for the Missing Franklin Expedition in the North American Arctic Islands, 1848–59 WILLIAM BARR1 (Received 4 September 2008; accepted in revised form 17 October 2008) ABSTRACT. While the bulk of the searching parties sent out from the British ships deployed on the search for the missing Franklin expedition in the North American Arctic Islands over the period 1848–59 employed man-hauled sledges, dog sledges were also used quite extensively. The dog sledges were especially (but not exclusively) used as “couriers,” that is, for communi- cation between the various wintering ships, where speed was the primary requirement. The total distance covered by dog sledges (excluding short hauls in the vicinity of the wintering ships) was, at a minimum, 11 576 km; this distance compares with the minimum 41 555 km covered by man-hauled sledges. Key words: dog sledges, Franklin search expeditions, North American Arctic Islands RÉSUMÉ. Bien que la plupart des équipes de recherche déployées par les navires britanniques à la recherche de l’expédition de Franklin disparue dans l’archipel Arctique nord-américain pendant la période de 1848–1859 se soient servi de traîneaux tirés par des humains, elles ont également employé des traîneaux à chiens à maintes reprises. Les traîneaux à chiens servaient plus particulièrement (mais non pas exclusivement) de « messagers » en ce sens qu’ils établissaient les liens de communication entre les divers navires en hivernage, la rapidité de transmission étant essentielle. La distance totale à avoir été parcourue par les traîneaux à chiens (ce qui ne comprend pas les courtes distances dans la région des navires en hivernage) s’est chiffrée, au minimum, à 11 576 kilomètres, comparativement à la distance minimale de 41 555 kilomètres parcourue par les traîneaux tirés par des humains.
