  • Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories 2014
    Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories 2014 www.nwtresearch.com This publication is a collaboration between the Aurora Research Institute, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre. Thank you to all who submitted a summary of research or photographs, and helped make this publication possible. Editor: Ashley Mercer Copyright © 2015 ISSN: 1205-3910 Printed by Aurora Research Institute Foreword Welcome to the 2014 Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories. This year marked a special anniversary for the Aurora Research Institute and northern research. Fifty years ago, the Inuvik Research Laboratory was built and has served as a hub for research in the western arctic ever since. The Lab, as it was known, was first built as an initiative of the Canadian federal government in the newly established community of Inuvik. It remains on the same site today, but in 2011, a new modern multi-purpose facility opened to continue to support research in the north. We have included a brief history of the Lab and its impact in this edition of the Compendium to mark its long lasting importance to many researchers and community members. As part of the 50th anniversary celebration, the Aurora Research Institute team undertook a full set of NWT-wide celebrations. We celebrated the history, capacity and growth of research in the NWT that touched all corners of the territory and beyond. We honoured the significant scientific contributions that have taken place in the NWT over the past 50 years, and the role of NWT researchers, technicians and citizens in these accomplishments.

The requested revisions required the establishment of a new Special Management Zone (North Dehcho – Zone 36) in place of General Use Zones around Wrigley, both east and west of the Mackenzie River. In addition, the recently negotiated land withdrawals within Pehdzeh Ki Ndeh, which formed the basis of Conservation Zone 4 were further amended and agreed to by the Parties at the Dehcho Process negotiations on May 31st. These amendments have also been included in Plan revisions. In order to release the Plan to the other Parties and our planning partners as soon as possible, the Committee has only updated Table 1 and Maps 1-4 of the Plan. The revised Table and Maps are included at the front of the Plan with this notice. The remainder of the Plan and Background Report, including all references to area calculations, zone descriptions, all Background Report maps, and all analysis (cumulative effects, Economic Development Assessment Model, Tables 14 and 19, etc.), have not been updated at this time.

Chouinard D. Milburn Published under the authority of the Honourable Ronald A. Irwin, P.C., M.P., Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development Ottawa, 1995 QS-8507-030-EF-Al Catalogue No. R72-244/1-1995E ISBN 0-662-23939-3 © Minister of Public Works and Government Services Canada FOREWORD The Arctic Environmental Strategy (AES), announced in April 1991, is a six-year $100 million Green Plan initiative. The overall goal ofthe AES is to preserve and enhance the integrity, health, biodiversity and productivity ofour Arctic ecosystems for the benefit ofpresent and future generations. Four specific programs address some ofthe key environmental challenges: they are waste cleanup, contaminants, water management, and environment and economy integration. The programs are managed by the Northern Affairs Program ofthe Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND); however, there is a strong emphasis on partnerships with northern stakeholders including Native organizations, other federal departments and the territorial governments. The AES Action on Water Program specifically strives to enhance the protection ofnorthern freshwaters through improved knowledge and decision-making. Water Resources managers in the Yukon and the Northwest Territories administer this Program which focuses on freshwater aquatic ecosystems. This report is the first detailed compilation ofstudies.conducted under the AES Action on Water Program. It covers work done from 1991 to 1994. Many studies have been concluded, while others are ongoing. Although data may not be available for all studies, or results are preliminary at this time, this report presents detailed background, objectives and methodology.

The distribu- tion of erratics and glacial geomorphology, notably extensive bedrock fluting fields, indicates that the area was largely occupied by Montane ice advancing from the west-southwest.
