This project aims to expand ongoing efforts to assess whether chemical contaminants are associated with ingested plastics, and as a consequence may be transferred to Arctic...

Semi-directive interviews were conducted to document Nainimiut land use practices and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) about the forest. TEK, as defined by Huntington...

Plastics are ingested by a range of biota, including fish caught for food for human consumption. Full gastrointestinal tracts of arctic char caught by fish harvesters around...

43 archeological samples were collected from the inside of the three communal houses selected for this study: 11 samples from House 1, 16 from House 2 and 16 from House 7 within...

Spore and pollen analyses were performed at 1cm intervals on a 21cm-long monolith (UR3-M7) extracted from the peaty terrace around the archaeological site. We focused on the...

We studied growth patterns of white spruce stands around Oakes Bay 1 and Uivak Point in a pair of field sampling surveys conducted in 2010. A total of 154 trees were sampled....

POLLEN ANALYSIS The lake selected for coring is located 500 m south of Oakes Bay 1 archeological site. An 80-cm long core was extracted from the peaty margin of the lake....

In total, four monoliths were excavated down to the level of the mineral substrate using a shovel. The stratigraphy of the peat was documented and the onsite vegetation was also...

Undisturbed oriented archaeological sediment samples were retrieved from the interior of three communal semisubterranean sod houses using steel Kubiëna boxes (10 cm3). The...

Following an extensive survey in the area, four sites were selected: Nain1 (56°32.030'N; 61°43.699'W), Nain2 (56°31.684'N; 61°41.233'W), KAM (56°16.710'N; 61°36.095'W) and WB...

The Canadian research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen is equipped with a Moving Vessel Profiler (copyright) (MVP), a multi-purpose instrument used to collect both shallow and deep...

This project will measure pollutants, namely persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and mercury, in the air at 7 locations across Canada's North using passive air samplers (PASs)....

A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) video survey was conducted at the Saglek Bank location, at a depth of ~550 m in July 2018. The primary purpose of this ROV dive was to verify...

A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) video survey was conducted at the NE Hatton Sill location, at a depth of ~620 m in August 2018. The primary purpose of the ROV dive at this...

Ringed seals (Pusa hispida) samples are collected in the context of a community-based monitoring program, in the communities of Arviat, Resolute, Sachs Harbour, and Nain (for...

Ice islands are massive, tabular icebergs which calve from ice shelves and floating glacier tongues. The ability to identify, monitor and predict the drift and deterioration of...

We are working with community members in Nunatsiavut to understand how shrub expansion will influence aspects of berry biology, and to determine the impacts of warming on berry...

Archived claws and whiskers from ringed seals sampled in northern Labrador between 2008 and 2011 were analyzed. Ringed seals up to 8 years old were selected since claw annuli in...

Detailed climatological grids are needed for many applications, including permafrost prediction, ecological modelling and infrastructure planning. This study describes the...
