Abstract
This project was conceived as a pilot study for integrating both data gathering and data presentation from a number of disciplines concerned with the environment. This was planned as an alternative to the independent approach used for Mackenzie Valley studies. The purpose was to gather background data suitable for environmental management and planning including potential pipeline routing. The data are interpretive and are inevitably based on a sampling pattern which is biased in favour of the areas most easily accessible to camp locations and geologically in favor of those locations observed to have presented terrain problems historically, as it is in these disturbed areas that insights into the critical variables are best observed.
