Download or read book A Human Geographical Study of the Hunting Economy of Cumberland Sound Baffin Island N W T written by Albert Arno Haller and published by McGill University. This book was released on 1967 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The hunting economy of Cumberland Sound is analyzed according to the spring, break-up and open water seasons. Physical, biological and cultural factors interact in different manners and degrees to produce seasonal variations in the miles travelled per hunt, the duration of the hunt, the catch per man per day, the percentage loss of seals due to sinking, the miles travelled per seal landed, and the number of shots fired per seal killed. If the hunt is mechanized during all three seasons, then in terms of number of seals landed per hunter per day and net profit per landed seal, hunting is most efficient during the break-up season." --

This book was released on 1996 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this book is on oceanic climate change during the last deglaciation period and the high temporal resolution that can be obtained from sediment records at continental margin sites. The book draws together papers from the north-eastern North American continental margin with those from the north-west European Arctic and the Arctic and North Atlantic Oceans.

Download or read book Critical Inuit Studies written by Pamela R. Stern and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2006-12-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical Inuit Studies offers an overview of the current state of Inuit studies by bringing together the insights and fieldwork of more than a dozen scholars from six countries currently working with Native communities in the far north. The volume showcases the latest methodologies and interpretive perspectives, presents a multitude of instructive case studies with individuals and communities, and shares the personal and professional insights from the fieldwork and thought of distinguished researchers. The wide-ranging topics in this collection include the development of a circumpolar research policy; the complex identities of Inuit in the twenty-first century; the transformative relationship between anthropologist and collaborator; the participatory method of conducting research; the interpretation of body gesture and the reproduction of culture; the use of translation in oral history, memory and the construction of a collective Inuit identity; the intricate relationship between politics, indigenous citizenship and resource development; the importance of place names, housing policies and the transition from igloos to permanent houses; and social networks in the urban setting of Montreal.

Download or read book Thule Culture in Western Coronation Gulf N W T written by David A. Morrison and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 1983-01-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeological excavations between 1979 and 1981 at three house sites on the western coast of Coronation Gulf attempt to investigate Thule culture in this strategic but marginal region. These sites, along with others already excavated, appear to represent a fairly distinctive stylistic variant of Thule culture in the western central Arctic. This variant is primarily affiliated with western rather than eastern Thule, and appears to be of direct Alaskan origin.

Download or read book Quaternary Environments written by J T Andrews and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-28 with total page 803 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1985, Quaternary Environments represents the culmination of Quaternary research in the region of Baffin Island, Baffin Bay and West Greenland over a period of twenty years and it will serve as a timely and complementary balance to the paleo- oceanographic studies in the NE North Atlantic. The region of Baffin Island, Baffin Bay and West Greenland is probably the best place in the world to examine the interactions between ice, land and oceans on timescales of a few hundred to many thousands of years. Two introductory chapters outline the history of research and the physical background. In Part II the evidence for glacial erosion and deposition over the eastern Canadian Arctic is examined and the history of the Baffin Island continental shelf is described. Part III deals with the paleo- oceanography of Baffin Bay and the Labrador Sea through an examination of deep-sea cores dated by several different methods. In Part IV there is a comprehensive account of the stratigraphy of Baffin Island, Bylot Island, and West Greenland, from the Pliocene to the late Wisconsin. Part V examines the climatic effects of the past 10,000 years, considering evidence from pollen analysis, glacier fluctuations, changes of sea level and the response of early (Eskimo) man. This important volume will interest all quaternary scientists, especially those in glaciology, glacial geology, marine geology, and geomorphology.

Download or read book Glacial Isostasy Sea Level and Mantle Rheology written by R. Sabadini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: by K. Lambeck, R. Sabadini and E. B08Chi Viscosity is one of the important material properties of the Earth, controlling tectonic and dynamic processes such as mantle convection, isostasy, and glacial rebound. Yet it remains a poorly resolved parameter and basic questions such as whether the planet's response to loading is linear or non-linear, or what are its depth and lateral variations remain uncertain. Part of the answer to such questions lies in laboratory observations of the rheology of terrestrial materials. But the extrapolation of such measurements from the laboratory environment to the geological environment is a hazardous and vexing undertaking, for neither the time scales nor the strain rates characterizing the geological processes can be reproduced in the laboratory. General rules for this extrapolation are that if deformation is observed in the laboratory at a particular temperature, deformation in geological environments will occur at a much reduced temperature, and that if at laboratory strain rates a particular deformation mechanism dominates over all others, the relative importance of possible mechanisms may be quite different at the geologically encountered strain rates. Hence experimental results are little more than guidelines as to how the Earth may respond to forces on long time scales.
