"With the completion of an initial feasibility study for fluorescence detection of oil in water, the basic objective of the current project was to more exhaustively develop the principles of fluorescence detection with experiments simulating the key aspects of a field application"--Objectives, page 3.
"The revegetation studies had two major objectives; to continue an assessment of the field plots at Norman Wells, Inuvik, Tuktoyaktuk, and Prudhoe Bay, and to summarize the literature and unpublished data from the various studies conducted in Alaska and Canada in the past three years"--Summary, page 1.
"These investigations compare the biodegradability of northern Canadian and of Alaskan crude oils which might be transported through a Mackenzie Valley pipeline. Studies are being conducted in the field and in the laboratory to establish factors affecting the biodegradability of such oils"--Introduction, page 3.
"The Polar Shelf base has visitors almost daily, either groups or individuals from different organizations, schools, and universities. Officials and VIP representatives, from different departments and business companies, were also among the visitors. The purpose of these visits was to obtain first-hand knowledge about the Arctic in general and exploration activities in the Canadian North"--Page 2.

"The design, construction and maintenance of spill containment dykes in the Arctic is reviewed. The review is based on a brief survey of the techniques and practices presently used by the petroleum, mining and transportation companies as well as government agencies that are operating in northern Canada. The survey revealed that there is no unified approach. It was concluded that there is a need for discussion between industry and the regulatory bodies in order to arrive at minimum standards for petroleum product spill containment dykes in the Arctic. Some areas requiring further research and development work are identified."--Abstract, page i.
"The objectives of this study are to provide information on the moisture flux divergence and sources of precipitation over the eastern Canadian Arctic. Apart from the work of Boyes (1963) on the meridional advection of moisture across latitudes 65°, 70° and 80°N for January and July 1958, and the global scale study for the IGY year by Peixoto (1970), there are no data on the horizontal flux divergence of water vapour over the Arctic. Rasmusson's analysis (1968) of seasonal and annual flux divergence over North America extends only to Baffin Island"--Introduction, p. 5.
Central Region's 1974 Arctic Survey was a continuation of our objective to completely chart the navigable waterways of the Arctic Islands. This year Eureka Sound and adjacent fiords, Nansen Sound and part of Greely Fiord were charted.
"This paper deals principally with seismic risk in the northern Yukon and adjacent areas in which may lie a Mackenzie Valley transportation corridor for gas and/or oil pipelines and related facilities. Some reference is made to the earthquake history of Canada north of 60°N latitude, although detailed seismic risk calculations have not been made for this complete area. The paper also includes estimates of seismic risk parameters in eastern Alaska for the area from the Yukon-Alaska border to longitude 155°W, about 350 km west of Fairbanks"--Introduction, page [1].
"Approximately 427,000 gallons of Arctic diesel oil and gasoline were spilled over permafrost and sea ice at Deception Bay, Quebec, sometime between June 6 and 8, 1970, when a tank farm was destroyed by a slush avalanche"--Introduction, page 1.
"It is the purpose of this report to assess various methods of waste disposal which may be deemed suitable for construction camps and to propose guidelines, to be published separately, for the disposal of waste from construction"--Summary, page 1.
"During the summer of 1972, the test sites were visited to observe the development of new vegetation on the disturbed ground, and measure changes in rut depth and frost depth in the tracks left by the vehicles. The sites were also photographed from various altitudes in order to assess the possibility of using aerial photography to evaluate disturbance levels and terrain sensitivity to disturbance by vehicle traffic"--Summary, page [1].
Final field report - C.S.S. Parizeau : (Arctic surveys - N.W.T.) 4 July to 11 September, 1972, oceanographic factor - 20% and shore based party (British Columbia) April to June; September to November, 1972 oceanographic factor - nil
"The surveys assigned the PARIZEAU for the season were a continuation of the 1:100,000 charting programme in the Beaufort Sea, these surveys butting into the PARIZEAU's 1971 and BAFFINS's 1970 work"--Objectives, page 3.

"Norwegian Bay is the most eastern area of water lying within the Queen Elizabeth Islands. Ellesmere Island lies to the east, Axel Heiberg Island to the north, and Devon Island to the south. Physio-graphically, the Norwegian Bay can be divided into two zones. Low-lying sedimentary areas are found to the west of the bay, and to the east are the foothills of the Ellesmere Island cordillera. Prior to the survey, all sounding information available was along icebreaker routes, principally from Hell Gate to Eureka Fiord, and little was known of the submarine topography of the bay"--Introduction, page 3.
"Weather systems over the Canadian Archipelago are specified twice daily in terms of surface pressure patterns and these patterns are grouped into 22 types with Lund's method. These pressure types, with the assumption of geostrophic flow, are interpreted using tendency equations expressed in terms of thickness, vorticity advection, and velocity divergence"--Abstract, page x.
"Surface water inventories of Canada's northern territories involve those areas of Canada draining into the Arctic Ocean, Hudson Bay (north of the Nelson River drainage basin) and to the Pacific Ocean through Alaska, The major river systems are the Yukon River Basin and the Mackenzie River Basin. The available surface water data for the northern areas are insufficient to describe flow variations and, in many cases, even the mean flow of the rivers. This report reviews the problems of established operation of the hydrometric network which is providing data needed for estimates of averages and streamflow variations and examines proposals for network expansion"--Abstract, p. v.
"In April 1970 a Scott Polar Research Institute (S.P.R.I.) MK II 35 MHz radio echo sounder was used to obtain depth and velocity measurements on Meighen Ice Cap, Baffin Island (lat. 80° N, long. 99° W) and Barnes Ice Cap, Baffin Island (lat. 70° N, long. 72° W)"--Introduction, page 1.
"Aerial surveys from June 1966 to October 1968 provided data on total numbers, recruitment, and seasonal distribution for the Kaminuriak barren-ground caribou, a pop-ulation of the Canadian tundra race Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus"--Abstract, p. 9.
