Summary:
The objective is to make diamond exploration more efficient in remote northern regions in order to encourage further investments by multi-national diamond exploration companies. Also to enable local communities to better assess their natural resource potential.
The research team will record earthquake waves at several widely-spaced locations in the NWT in order to map deep (100-300 km depths) s...

2009 Summary:
This ongoing study will investigate the structure and composition of the Earth's crust and mantle to depths of 0-300 m. The researchers seek better methods to characterize diamond reservoirs in order to make exploration more efficient and lower impact.
Teleseismic observatories are sited in remote locations in either linear or rectangular arrays where they record distant earthquakes for several...

The objective of this ongoing study is to investigate the structure and composition of the Earth's crust and mantle to depths of 0-300 km from sites in the Lac de Gras region. The researchers seek methods to characterize diamond reservoirs in order to make diamond exploration more efficient and low impact. This research will lead to improved mineral exploration strategies, improved estimates of d...
