  • Frederick J. Krabbé, Last Man to See HMS Investigator Afloat, May 1854
    The Journal of the Hakluyt Society January 2017 Frederick J. Krabbé, last man to see HMS Investigator afloat, May 1854 William Barr1 and Glenn M. Stein2 Abstract Having ‘served his apprenticeship’ as Second Master on board HMS Assistance during Captain Horatio Austin’s expedition in search of the missing Franklin expedition in 1850–51, whereby he had made two quite impressive sledge trips, in the spring of 1852 Frederick John Krabbé was selected by Captain Leopold McClintock to serve under him as Master (navigation officer) on board the steam tender HMS Intrepid, part of Captain Sir Edward Belcher’s squadron, again searching for the Franklin expedition. After two winterings, the second off Cape Cockburn, southwest Bathurst Island, Krabbé was chosen by Captain Henry Kellett to lead a sledging party west to Mercy Bay, Banks Island, to check on the condition of HMS Investigator, abandoned by Commander Robert M’Clure, his officers and men, in the previous spring. Krabbé executed these orders and was thus the last person to see Investigator afloat. Since, following Belcher’s orders, Kellett had abandoned HMS Resolute and Intrepid, rather than their return journey ending near Cape Cockburn, Krabbé and his men had to continue for a further 140 nautical miles (260 km) to Beechey Island. This made the total length of their sledge trip 863½ nautical miles (1589 km), one of the longest man- hauled sledge trips in the history of the Arctic. Introduction On 22 July 2010 a party from the underwater archaeology division of Parks Canada flew into Mercy Bay in Aulavik National Park, on Banks Island, Northwest Territories – its mission to try to locate HMS Investigator, abandoned here by Commander Robert McClure in 1853.3 Two days later underwater archaeologists Ryan Harris and Jonathan Moore took to the water in a Zodiac to search the bay, towing a side-scan sonar towfish.

  • Geoplanspring 2011
    SPRING 2011 GEOPLAN DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY & PROGRAM IN PLANNING AND THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO ASSOCIATION OF GEOGRAPHY ALUMNI (UTAGA) Celebrating our 75th Anniversary he Department of Geography at the University of Toronto was founded in 1935 and the academic year 2010-11 was therefore our 75th anniversary. We had an excellent celebration, packed Twith events. It started early in September with a display at Robarts Library of more than 100 books authored by geography faculty and alumni. The display was seen by thousands of visitors to the library between September and October. We also put on a special departmen- tal speakers series with the theme of “Intersections” between human and physical geography and between geographers and the community. Twenty-two guest speakers participated and we held special panel sessions on the Tar Sands, Climate Change, the Aboriginal City, and Women and Factory Work in China. The biggest event of the year was a full weekend of activities in mid-September. The weekend began early on Thursday, September 16th, when the Planning Alumni Committee hosted its first Fall Plan- ning Mixer at the Duke of York, in honour of Geography’s 75th. On Friday afternoon, renowned climate change scholar Professor Diana Liverman (MA ‘80) from the University of Arizona gave a public lecture on “Governing Climate”. This was followed by an opening reception and book launch for Reflections on the History of Geography at the University of Toronto. On Saturday, there was a faculty panel ses- sion in the morning on the history of the department and a workshop exploring mapping on the web.

  • 2009-2013 Jasper National Park Caribou Progress Report
    2009-2013 Jasper National Park Caribou Progress Report Lalenia Neufeld Mark Bradley Saakje Hazenberg With contributions from: John Wilmshurst Shelley Bird Colleen Arnison Amy Flasko Executive Summary Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) range throughout North America has retracted northward and many populations across Canada are in decline. The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada has defined Canadian populations as Endangered (Atlantic- Gaspésie), Threatened (Southern Mountain and Boreal), Special Concern (Northern Mountain), and Not at Risk (Newfoundland) (Thomas and Gray 2002). Woodland caribou in Jasper National Park belong to the Threatened Southern Mountain Population. Phase I of the Jasper Woodland Caribou Recovery Action Plan was implemented in 2005. Its larger goals were to increase awareness of woodland caribou and recommend a suite of actions to mitigate factors contributing to caribou decline. Implementation of recovery actions began in the 2005-2006 fiscal year, shortly after the Plan was signed by Parks Canada. In 2007, as a follow-up to the Action Plan, the Mountain Parks Caribou Coordinating Committee initiated development of a Conservation Strategy for caribou in the mountain national parks. The strategy is intended to contribute towards meeting Parks Canada’s obligations under Canada's National Parks Act and the Species at Risk Act. Key direction for caribou recovery and sustainability, which is aligned with Parks Canada’s mandate of ecological integrity, public education, and visitor experience, is being formulated with the incorporation of the results from the public and Aboriginal consultations recently completed into the management plan. Required knowledge for informed management relies on the caribou monitoring program, the results of which are reported herein.

  • Helens Volcanic Eruptions Had Upon Prehistoric Populations in The
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Loren G. Davis for the degree of Master of Arts inInterdisciplinary Studies in Anthropology Geography and Soil Science, presented on May 18,1995. Title: Volcanism, Climate Change. and Prehistoric CulturalSuccession in Southern Washington and North-Central Idaho. Abstract approved: /; David R. Brauner The cultural influence of volcanic eruptions has beenemphasized in the archaeological literature. However, the largereffects that Mount St. Helens volcanic eruptions had upon prehistoricpopulations in the Pacific Northwest is not understood. This thesis asks questionsof the archaeological and paleoenvironmental record of the PacificNorthwest to assess the degree of influence Late Pleistocene and Holocene volcaniceruptions of Mount St. Helens had upon the cultural record of human existencein southern Washington and north-central Idaho. The record of eruptiveactivity at Mount St. Helens is reviewed and its tephra lobesmapped from reports of pyroclastic identification in the Pacific Northwest and westernCanada, to gain a temporal and spatial understanding of the eruptions.A general systemic model is presented to identify the factorsresponsible for the deposition, removal and alteration of tephra. Thismodel illustrates the complexity of tephrostratigraphic deposition, and increasesthe awareness of its residence within archaeological sites. Several setsof paleoenvironmental data are correlated with archaeological records ofhuman occupation in southern Washington and north-central Idaho,including records of pollen fluctuation,

  • Peary Caribou Management Plan Without Full Involvement of Both Arctic Bay and Pond Inlet
    SUBMISSION TO THE NUNAVUT WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT BOARD (NWMB) Regular Meeting No. RM 002- 2018 FOR Information: ☐ Decision: ☒ Issue: Delay or Suspension of the NWMB Public Hearing Processes for “Management Plan for Peary Caribou in Nunavut”, and All Peary Caribou TAHs and Moratoriums in Qikiqtaaluk Region Background: Since the 1960s, Resolute Bay and Grise Fiord have been effectively self-managing Peary caribou harvests on the High Arctic islands within their resource use areas. These communities have over 50 years of Peary caribou management expertise, which they have adjusted as needed with many population fluctuations and changes in distributions of Peary caribou. In their harvesting areas, no caribou populations have been depleted due to harvesting under the communities’ careful and wise management. The QWB supports the HTOs in continuing their long legacy of Peary caribou management based mainly on Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit. Nunavut’s Department of Environment (DoE) has developed a Peary caribou management plan without full involvement of both Arctic Bay and Pond Inlet. During February 2018, DoE consulted about the proposed plan with the HTO Boards in Grise Fiord and Resolute Bay, but not in Arctic Bay and Pond Inlet. Public meetings were not held in Grise Fiord and Resolute Bay, but the HTO Boards did inform DoE that the public had to be consulted before decisions could be made. Inuit in the communities do not understand the implications of the proposed Plan. The communities want to be able to continue their proven community-based management of Peary caribou. These effective mechanisms have not been explicitly recognized and enabled in the current draft of the DoE plan.
