Book excerpt: "This report documents the work performed under contract #20-04-0356 between the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs and Cal Data Ltd. to enhance the Inuvialuit Settlement Region Granular Resource Management prototype web site by the addition of information and functionality. This work builds on the initial prototype site developed by Cal Data Ltd. in March of 2003 and March 2004. Under the current contract the basic software that delivers the site was upgraded to MapGuide 6.5. MapGuide Lite was added to provide WMS (Web Map Service) output that can be utilized by other systems and viewers such as Google Earth. Training was provided to INAC Ottawa staff on MapGuide Author. The basic background imagery on the site was expanded to cover the entire ISR. A number of new vector and raster layers were added to the map display. The remote database input and management tools were improved. The added information and functionality show the site to be much more than a simple map display system. The site has become an information management and query tool with the map display acting as a user interface rather than just an end in itself. The site is now capable of sophisticated distributed database review and verification functions. Now the site takes advantage of information hosted on two other MapGuide sites without having to duplicate this shared information or have it pass through the server. A third site hosted by NEB has been withdrawn while they build in-house capacity. These other sites provide access to sophisticated databases of their own to enhance the resources available to the user of this site. A significant objective that remains to be satisfied is the acceptance of the site for routine operations by various groups and individuals involved in the use and management of granular resources in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region. Continued demonstration of the sites capabilities and education of potential power-users of the site is required to achieve this goal" -- page 1.

Book excerpt: "This report documents the work performed under contract number A7133-06-0024 for the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs by Cal Data Ltd. The primary focus of the work was to enhance the Inuvialuit Settlement Region Granular Resource Management prototype web site by the addition of information and functionality. This work builds on the initial prototype site developed by Cal Data Ltd. in March of 2003 with periodic enhancements, March 2004, March 2005 and March 2006. During this contract a significant number of new map layers were added to the primary map. The Autodesk DWG format was tested in several new layers and proved successful. Detailed topographic contours were added where available from the NWT's detailed air photo project. Assistance was provided to other INAC contractors to facilitate the inclusion of their information products into the web-map. Assistance and guidance were provided to one contractor, Brian Eddy, who created a new map describing the Beaufort Sea granular resources by remotely accessing the Cal Data Ltd server and software. An evaluation of the new Autodesk MapGuide software was performed by building a site based on the Open Source version of this new software and loading representative data layers for the existing site. Testing is ongoing but initial analysis suggests this news software can meet the requirements of the site. In light of the discontinuation of the current MapGuide software by Autodesk replacement software will be required to carry the site into the future" -- page 1.

This work builds on the initial prototype site developed by Cal Data Ltd. in March of 2003. Under the current contract the basic software that delivers the site was upgraded, additional information was added to the site, new report display capabilities were developed, additional background imagery was added, existing imagery was reorganized to speed delivery and database editing tools were added. The added information and functionality show the site to be much more than a simple map display system. The site has become an information management and query tool with the map display acting as a user interface rather than just an end in itself.

Now the site takes advantage of information hosted on three other MapGuide sites without having to duplicate this shared information or have it pass though the server. These other sites provide access to sophisticated databases of their own to enhance the resources available to the user of this site. The site covers the south east portion of the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, primarily between Tuktoyaktuk and Inuvik and the Mackenzie Delta. Future development of the site should include expanding the coverage to the whole of the ISR. Additional granular resource studies are available to be added to the site to provide more complete coverage of the Settlement Region and more in depth coverage. The basic tools envisioned for the site are now in place and only require adaptation to specific user defined tasks. A significant objective that remains to be satisfied is the acceptance of the site for routine operations by various groups and individuals involved in the use and management of granular resources in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region. Continued demonstration of the sites capabilities and education of potential power-users of the site is required to achieve this goal. ... The objective of this contract is to enhance the data content and functionality of the previously constructed prototype web site used to provide access to information related to the development of a regional granular resources management plan for the Inuvialuit Settlement Region"--Page 1.

Kilby and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the findings and recommendations of a study to 'investigate the feasibility and requirements of developing an Internet-based information mapping and exchange system that would be used for information sharing and consultation regarding the development of a regional granular resources management plan for the Inuvialuit Settlement Region'. The research for this study was performed in conjunction with a similar study that investigated 'the feasibility and requirements of developing an Internet-based information system that would be used to disseminate oil and gas tenure and related data, covering the Beaufort Sea and Mackenzie Delta areas'. The two projects cover very similar regions, have similar audiences and would utilize many of the same data sets. The major task of the investigation was a review of existing data, data providers, infrastructure and potential users through interviews and site visitations. In excess of 45 people were interviewed in person on location in Ottawa, Calgary, Yellowknife and Inuvik. The interviews confirmed the type and location of existing information. They determined that in virtually all cases this information would be available to this proposed project. There was concern that the proposed project would be just another web site duplicating the efforts of the already numerous sites delivering data and maps pertaining to the Inuvialuit Settlement Region. The interviews identified a variety of potential uses for the system beyond the primary function of providing support for the development of the Granular Management Plan for the ISR. Investigation of the Internet infrastructure shows that all locations except Tuktoyaktuk and some other outlying settlements will have at least ADSL service within the next month or so. The outlying settlement regions will be restricted to dial- up Internet access for the foreseeable future. In general this will mean Internet access speeds of between 14,400 and 28,800 baud. An Internet-centric map and data distribution system is recommended that will provide the required support for the granular resource management exercise plus provide a valuable framework for the integration of the existing dispersed and diverse information required for land use planning tasks in the ISR. The framework is based on commercial off the shelf software and standard, easily maintained hardware. The system is centered on the MapGuide web mapping software and ColdFusion web-development and database access and reporting software. Both software packages have been in use on the Internet for more than 7 years, are supported by major corporations and have excellent training and user support programs. The proposed software and system design will provide the functionality required to allow authorized users to construct maps, input and edit map data and have access to all the system's pooled information from anywhere on the Internet. General users will be able to view the constructed maps over low bandwidth Internet connections (based on well designed maps) and perform common GIS functions through a standard web browser. An add-on viewer will be required for this added functionality or simple map viewing will be an option for casual viewers with no map viewer. ... System set-up, data loading, granular management tool development and initial 6 months of operation should be accomplished within a $100,000 budget. The system should be operational within 3 months of project initiation. -- ASTIS (online) database.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Under the terms of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement (IFA), it is the responsibility of the Inuvialuit Land Administration to monitor and manage land use activities on ILA owned lands in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) while ensuring the continuity of access by the Inuvialuit people for quiet use and enjoyment. The Inuvialuit Settlement Region extends from the western portion of Northwest Territories, through to the northern Yukon and includes the Beaufort Sea and Mackenzie River Delta an area approximately 68 N to 80 N and ll0 W to 141 W. As part of the IFA Implementation Program, EOR Information Technologies Limited (EORIT) was contracted (Contract No. A7134-5-00l9/00l-SS) by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) to supply the Inuvialuit Land Administration with technology and training to fulfill the following objectives: to establish and maintain an inventory of existing granular resources; to maintain a record of areas of potential granular resource development; to monitor the impact of land use activities on the environment and the potential impact on renewable and non-renewable resources (including granular resources); to maintain a record of granular resource removal applications; to perform pre-impact and post impact assessments of Inuvialuit owned lands; to maintain a geographic representation of sensitive wildlife and environmental areas. Directed by the INAC scientific authority, Bob Gowan, EORIT prepared and delivered an updated Inuvialuit Granular Resource Management System in anticipation of the unique information management requirements of Inuvialuit Settlement Region. This report concludes the development of a Granular Resource Management System for the Inuvialuit Settlement Region Land Administration and the creation of archive quality CD-ROM backup. The various work components of this project are described in the following sections" -- ASTIS [online] database.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following is a report on the review and assessment of the implementation of the development of the Granular Resource Management Plan for the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR). This initiative was prompted by the increase in activity in the Mackenzie Delta area due to the proposed natural gas pipeline project and by the recent personnel changes for Inuvialuit Land Administration and Department of Indian and Northern Development. The intention was to provide new contributors to the planning process some background information and a summarization of work completed to date toward the establishment of a joint granular resource management plan. Recommendations for further work are presented with the intention to provide discussion points for the new participants of the working group in the promotion of the development of the formal plan. While all have been suggested as ways of contributing to the development of the plan, there is no presumption any or all would be implemented. The new working group, once established, will be mandated with the decision making process. ... Purpose: To develop a co-ordinated and systematic approach to granular resource management in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region through: gathering and utilizing all existing information; sharing research and project data; avoiding duplication of effort; and a commitment to joint planning, action and resource allocation -- ASTIS (online) database.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeological practice is currently shifting in response to feminist, indigenous, activist, community-based, and anarchic critiques of how archaeology is practiced and how science is used to interpret the past lives of people. Inspired by the calls for a different way of doing archaeology, this volume presents a case here for a heart-centered archaeological practice. Heart-centered practice emerged in care-based disciplines, such as nursing and various forms of therapy, as a way to recognize the importance of caring for those on whom we work, and as an avenue to explore how our interactions with others impacts our own emotions and heart. Archaeologists are disciplined to separate mind and heart, a division which harkens back to the origins of western thought. The dualism between the mental and the physical is fundamental to the concept that humans can objectively study the world without being immersed in it. Scientific approaches to understanding the world assume there is an objective world to be studied and that humans must remove themselves from that world in order to find the truth. An archaeology of the heart rejects this dualism; rather, we see mind, body, heart, and spirit as inextricable. An archaeology of the heart provides a new space for thinking through an integrated, responsible, and grounded archaeology, where there is care for the living and the dead, acknowledges the need to build responsible relationships with communities, and with the archaeological record, and emphasize the role of rigor in how work and research is conducted. The contributions bring together archaeological practitioners from across the globe in different contexts to explore how heart-centered practice can impact archaeological theory, methodology, and research throughout the discipline.

This book was released on 2010-01-10 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the eminent authors analyse the ice cover variability in the Arctic Seas during the 20th and early 21st centuries. In the first two chapters, they show that multi-year changes of the sea-ice extent in the Arctic Seas were formed by linear trends and long-term (climatic) cycles lasting about 10, 20 and 60 years. The structure of temporal variability of the western region (Greenland – Kara) differs significantly from the eastern region seas (Laptev and Chukchi). In the latter region, unlike the former area, relatively short-period cycles (up to 10 years) predominate. The linear trends can be related to a super-secular cycle of climatic changes over about 200 years. The most significant of these cycles, lasting 60 years, is most pronounced in the western region seas.
