This bibliography is not an exhaustive document and was compiled as a first step in assisting regional working groups in the Mackenzie Valley interested in nominating the Mackenzie River as a Canadian Heritage River. There are a total of 711 references in the bibliography and they are presented according to the list of Natural Value themes listed below. References referring to the southern part of the Beaufort Sea have been included, as this region is strongly influenced by the flow from the Mackenzie River. However, references about rivers that feed into the Mackenzie River were generally not included. Reports that are technological or industrial in nature were omitted unless they contained information relevant to this bibliography. For example, a high volume of references exist about winter road construction, and granular material for roads, and was not included here. Many of the references are reports that were not published in scientific journals. Libraries where hard copies of books and reports can be found have been listed. Preliminary and intermediate reports were included only if the final reports were not accessible. The annotations included are based largely on those provided in the Arctic Science and Technology Information System (ASTIS) database.

The first section contains the "Sensitive Areas: Literature Review" report, which provides a summary of the available information on thirty seven areas within the Mackenzie Basin that could be expected to suffer in biologic productivity and cultural or social value if changes occurred in the hydrologic regime (for example, river flows and levels, water quality and sedimentation). The list of areas examined is not exhaustive. Each area summary contains a description of the hydrologic characteristics; natural resources (wildlife, fisheries, vegetation); socio- economic considerations; sensitivity to hydrologic change; knowledge gaps or data deficiencies; and concludes with a select bibliography. ... The second section is a user guide to searching the Canadian Environment bibliographic data base containing some 45.000 references to Canadian literature concerned with water resources and related environmental material. This includes the 1600 references and abstracts relating to the Mackenzie River Basin added during the study program. It is accessible throughout Canada on the QL Shared Information Service.

  • 023810 Rangifer Spec Issue
    The Ninth North American Caribou Workshop, S7 Kuujjuaq, Québec, Canada, 23-27 April, 2001. Status, population fluctuations and ecological relationships of Peary caribou on the Queen Elizabeth Islands: Implications for their survival Frank L. Miller1 & Anne Gunn2 1 Canadian Wildlife Service, Prairie & Northern Region, Room 200, 4999 - 98th. Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T6B 2X3 Canada ([email protected]). 2 Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development, Government of the Northwest Territories, Box 1320, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories X1A 3S8 Canada. Abstract: The Peary caribou (Rangifer tarandus pearyi) was recognized as 'Threatened' by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada in 1979 and 'Endangered' in 1991. It is the only member of the deer family (Cervidae) found on the Queen Elizabeth Islands (QEI) of the Canadian High Arctic. The Peary caribou is a significant part of the region's biodiversity and a socially important and economically valuable part of Arctic Canada's natural heritage. Recent microsatellite DNA findings indicate that Peary caribou on the QEI are distinct from caribou on the other Arctic Islands beyond the QEI, including Banks Island. This fact must be kept in mind if any translocation of caribou to the QEI is pro• posed. The subspecies is too gross a level at which to recognize the considerable diversity that exists between Peary cari¬ bou on the QEI and divergent caribou on other Canadian Arctic Islands. The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada should take this considerable diversity among these caribou at below the subspecies classification to mind when assigning conservation divisions (units) to caribou on the Canadian Arctic Islands.

  • Chapter 1: Sequence Stratigraphy of the Glenshaw Formation
    Martino, R. L., 2004, Sequence stratigraphy of the Glenshaw Formation (middle–late Pennsylvanian) in the central Appalachian basin, in J. C. Pashin and R. A. Gastaldo, eds., Sequence stratigraphy, paleoclimate, and tectonics of coal-bearing strata: AAPG Studies 1 in Geology 51, p. 1–28. Sequence Stratigraphy of the Glenshaw Formation (Middle–Late Pennsylvanian) in the Central Appalachian Basin Ronald L. Martino Department of Geology, Marshall University, Huntington, West Virginia, U.S.A. ABSTRACT he Glenshaw Formation consists predominantly of sandstones and mud- rocks with thin limestones and coals, which are thought to have accumu- T lated in alluvial, deltaic, and shallow-marine environments. Analysis of 87 Glenshaw outcrops from southern Ohio, eastern Kentucky, and southern West Vir- ginia has revealed widespread, well-developed paleosols. These paleosols are used, along with marine units and erosional disconformities, to develop a high-resolution sequence-statigraphic framework. The tops of the paleosols constitute boundaries for nine allocycles, which are interpreted as fifth-order depositional sequences. Allocycles in this framework correlate with similar allocycles described from the northern Appalachian basin. A sequence-stratigraphic model is proposed that provides a framework for in- terpreting facies architecture in terms of base-level dynamics linked to relative sea level changes. Lowered base level caused valley incision along drainage lines and sediment bypassing of interfluves, which led to development of well-drained paleo- sols. Rising base level produced valley filling by fluvioestuarine systems (lowstand systems tract/transgressive systems tract), whereas pedogenesis continued on inter- fluves. As drainage systems aggraded, the coastal plain water table rose, and in- terfluvial paleosols were onlapped by paludal and lacustrine deposits.

It includes considerations on how the carved objects affected and played a role in Dorset social life. To consider the role of people, things and other beings that may be said to play as actors in interdependent entanglements of actions, the agency/actor- network theory is employed. From this theoretical review an interpretation of social life as created by the ways people interact with the material world is presented. This framework is employed as a lens into the social role and meaning the carvings played in the Dorset society. The examined assemblages were recovered from a series of Dorset settlement sites, mainly in house, midden, and burial contexts, providing a substantive case study through which variations and themes of carvings are studied.

    TABLED DOCUMENT 267-17(5) TABLED ON JUNE 3, 2015 NING CON THE NEC NG TI E ON R S ST S E E M Connecting I T B I R N A Us U C T I N R G O P I N P N O O G V A IN T R IO U N PT CA 2015-2040 Northwest Territories Transportation Strategy Minister’s Message The road, air, rail and marine transportation system has played a key role in the history and development of the Northwest Territories, and will continue to support sustainable communities and a growing economy into the future. Over the past year, the Department of Transportation engaged a broad base of stakeholders to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing our northern transportation system. These engagements helped identify the vision and strategic priorities for enhancing our transportation system to meet the future needs of residents, communities, businesses and industry. As we mark the 25th anniversary of the Department of Transportation, established in 1989, and reflect on the great accomplishments achieved to date, it is the perfect time to redefine the path forward over the next 25 years. This strategy, Connecting Us, presents a vision for the transportation system and the strategic long-term priorities that will guide future actions of the Department of Transportation. It also outlines a framework for measuring and reporting on our success into the future. Northerners are strong, resilient people and we must continue working together to strengthen connections, capture opportunities and embrace innovation. Doing so will improve and enhance our transportation infrastructure, services, programs and policies, which will, in turn, lead to a sustainable economy, vibrant communities and self-reliant people.

  • Movements and Habitat Use of Muskoxen on Bathurst, Cornwallis
    MOVEMENTS AND HABITAT USE OF MUSKOXEN (Ovibos moschatus) ON BATHURST, CORNWALLIS, AND DEVON ISLANDS, 2003-2006 Morgan Anderson1 and Michael A. D. Ferguson Version: 23 December 2016 1Department of Environment, Government of Nunavut, Box 209 Igloolik NU X0A 0L0 STATUS REPORT 2016-08 NUNAVUT DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT WILDLIFE RESEARCH SECTION IGLOOLIK, NU i Summary Eleven muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) were fitted with satellite collars in summer 2003 to investigate habitat preferences and movement parameters in areas where they are sympatric with Peary caribou on Bathurst, Cornwallis, and Devon islands. Collars collected locations every 4 days until May 2006, with 4 muskoxen on Bathurst Island collared, 2 muskoxen collared on Cornwallis Island, and 5 muskoxen collared on western Devon Island. Only 5-29% of the satellite locations were associated with an estimated error of less than 150 m (Argos Class 3 locations). Muskoxen in this study used low-lying valleys and coastal areas with abundant vegetation on all 3 islands, in agreement with previous studies in other areas and Inuit qaujimajatuqangit. They often selected tussock graminoid tundra, moist/dry non-tussock graminoid/dwarf shrub tundra, wet sedge, and sparsely vegetated till/colluvium sites. Minimum convex polygon home ranges representing 100% of the locations with <150 m error include these movements between core areas, and ranged from 233 km2 to 2494 km2 for all collared muskoxen over the 3 years, but these home ranges include large areas of unused habitat separating discrete patches of good habitat where most locations were clustered. Several home ranges overlapped, which is not surprising, since muskoxen are not territorial.

Oceanography has developed in a wonderful way. The limnology advocated by Forel at the London Congress of 1895 has become a separate flourishing branch; only the hydrology of running water is still in a very unsatisfactory state. The fact that it has not a name of its own corresponding to oceanography or to limnology, indicates its neglected position, but there can be no doubt that it must gain equal rank and follow the same evolution as the two other above-named branches of hydrology.
