Objectif(s): To update and increase the understanding of the geological history of this area of the north-central Slave craton, Northwest Territories.
Description du projet: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4656. The objectives of this project are to update and increase the understanding of the geological history of this area of the north-central Slave craton, Northwest Territories. This work will be conducted mostly by foot with access along the water provided by canoe and zodiac boat. We will be walking the land to make geological maps. Our notes will observations of the rocks including the type, metamorphic grade, styles of alteration, deformation etc. Hand-sized samples of rock will be collected. The samples will be sent away to laboratories or stored in Yellowknife. All of the maps and reports generated from this program will be available for free on the Northwest Territories Geosicence Office website. There will be scientific presentations given at conference (e.g. Yellowknife Geoscience Forum). Presentations and copies of maps and reports can be made for the community upon request. The fieldwork for this study will be conducted from June 19, 2020 to August 28, 2020.
