Artist raphy: Doug Urquhart studied biology at the University of Toronto (BSc) and the University of New Hampshire (MSc). In the early 1970s he studied the impacts of oil development on the caribou, muskox and arctic foxes of Banks Island NWT. Doug has been an environmental consultant in NWT, BC and Yukon for 20 years specializing in wildlife management planning. He was the Executive Director of the Porcupine Caribou Management Board for 10 years and wrote a syndicated newspaper column on Porcupine Caribou Management. Doug's biology background and vast experience with northern issues are reflected in his syndicated cartoon strip "Paws" and in the 12 cartoon books he has published over the past 25 years. Doug lives in Whitehorse with his wife Judy and their two children Robin and Kaitlyn. In his role as the Chief Strategist for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Campaign Canadian Leadership Group, Doug continues his efforts to help preserve the Porcupine Caribou Herd.

  • Compendium of Research Undertaken in Nunavut 2004
    Compendium of Research Undertaken in Nunavut 2004 Nunavut Research Institute 1 Foreword The Nunavut Research Institute was created in 1995 when the Science Institute of the NWT was divided into eastern and western operations. In the Eastern Arctic, the re-named institute was amalgamated with Nunavut Arctic College. The Nunavut Research Institute focuses on supporting scientific research and technology development across a broad spectrum of issues and concerns. The Institute’s interpretation of research is broad – incorporating Inuit Qaujimanituqangit, social sciences, and natural sciences. The following mission statement guides the activities and services provided by the Institute: The mission of the Nunavut Research Institute is to provide leadership in developing, facilitating and promoting Inuit Qaujimanituqangit, science, research and technology as a resource for the well being of people in Nunavut. Institute services are guided by the core values of Nunavut Arctic College - strong communities, cultural appropriateness, partnerships, quality, access, responsiveness and life-long learning. The Nunavut Research Institute places emphasis on brokering northern-based research, which is linked to community needs, and making greater use of Inuit Qaujimanituqanit in research projects. This Compendium of Research has been produced as part of the Institute's effort to communicate information about research projects, which have recently taken place in Nunavut under the authority of the Nunavut Scientists Act.

Recent trends in abundance of Peary Caribou (Rangifer tarandus pearyi) and Muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, Nunavut. Department of Environment, Government of Nunavut, Wildlife Report No. 1, Pond Inlet, Nunavut. 184 pp. RECOMMENDATIONS TO GOVERNMENT i ABSTRACT Updated information on the distribution and abundance for Peary caribou on Nunavut’s High Arctic Islands estimates an across-island total of about 4,000 (aged 10 months or older) with variable trends in abundance between islands. The total abundance of muskoxen is estimated at 17,500 (aged one year or older). The estimates are from a multi-year survey program designed to address information gaps as previous information was up to 50 years old. Information from this study supports the development of Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ)- and scientifically-based management and monitoring plans. It also contributes to recovery planning as required under the 2011 addition of Peary caribou to Schedule 1 of the federal Species At Risk Act based on the 2004 national assessment as Endangered.

  • The Last Glaciation of East-Central Ellesmere Island, Nunavut: Ice Dynamics, Deglacial Chronology, and Sea Level Change1
    1355 The last glaciation of east-central Ellesmere Island, Nunavut: ice dynamics, deglacial chronology, and sea level change1 John England, I. Rod Smith, and David J.A. Evans Abstract: During the last glacial maximum of east-central Ellesmere Island, trunk glaciers inundated the landscape, en- tering the Smith Sound Ice Stream. Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dates on individual shell fragments in till in- dicate that the ice advanced after 19 ka BP. The geomorphic and sedimentary signatures left by the trunk glaciers indicate that the glaciers were polythermal. The configuration and chronology of this ice is relevant to the reconstruc- tion of ice core records from northwestern Greenland, the history of iceberg rafting of clastic sediments to northern Baffin Bay, the reopening of the seaway between the Arctic Ocean and Baffin Bay, and the regional variability of arc- tic paleoenvironments. Deglaciation began with the separation of Ellesmere Island and Greenland ice at fiord mouths ~8–8.5 ka BP. Ice reached fiord heads between 6.5 and 4.4 ka BP. Trunk glacier retreat from the fiords of east-central Ellesmere Island occurred up to 3000 years later than in west coast fiords. This later retreat was favoured by (1) im- poundment by the Smith Sound Ice Stream in Kane Basin until ~8.5 ka BP, which moderated the impact of high sum- mer melt recorded in nearby ice cores between ~11.5 and 8.5 ka BP; (2) the shallow bathymetry and narrowness (<2 km) of the east coast fiords, which lowered calving rates following separation of Innuitian and Greenland ice; and (3) the likelihood of higher precipitation along east Ellesmere Island.

  • Compendium of Research in the Northwest Territories 1994
    COMPENDIUM OF RESEARCH IN THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES 1994 Including: Wildlife Permits, Scientific Licenses and Archeological Permits AURORA RESEARCH INSTITUTE AURORA COLLEGE ABOUT THE AURORA RESEARCH INSTITUTE The Science Institute of the Northwest Territories (SINT) was created by the NWT Legislative Assembly in 1984. In 1995, the SINT divided and merged with the Aurora College in western NWT and the Nunavut Arctic College in eastern NWT. The Science Institute West was renamed the Aurora Research Institute (ARI) in the spring of 1996. The ARI’s mandate is to improve the quality of life for western NWT residents by applying scientific, technological and indigenous knowledge to solve northern problems and advance social and economic goals. The ARI is responsible for: < licensing and coordinating research in accordance with the NWT Scientists Act: This includes work in the physical, social and biological sciences and in traditional knowledge. < promoting communication between scientists and the people of the communities in which they work; < promoting public awareness of the importance of science, technology and indigenous knowledge; < fostering a scientific community within the NWT which recognizes and uses the traditional knowledge of northern aboriginal people; < making scientific knowledge available to the people of the NWT; < supporting or conducting research which contributes to the social, cultural and economic prosperity of the people of the NWT.
