The research team will collect bedrock samples across the fault zone to date the timing of motion of the Wopmay Fault using geochronologic analyses of the minerals titanite, apatite & calcite, and determine the depth and temperatures that the fault rocks were at when the fault zone was active.
The work will involv...

This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4723.
The main object of this research project is to determine the strength of Earth's lower crust and how this portion of the crust responds to tectonic forces.
Two weeks of fieldwork will be carried out at the Great Slave Lake Shear Zone to acquire the appropriate samples to explore stress across a fault zone. The majo...

Summary:
The two main objectives for this project are to a) determine the strength of the lower crust, and b) investigate how stress varies across a typical lower crustal shear zone. These objectives will be achieved by examining a transect through an ancient lower-crustal shear zone.
Two weeks of fieldwork will be carried out at the Great Slave Lake Shear Zone to acquire the appropriate samples to exp...
