Année(s) de permis: 2024 2023
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5922. This research project will investigate the geological processes that formed the Prairie Creek zinc-lead-silver(-germanium) deposit. The goal is to better understand the environment of the ancient ocean where the rocks originally formed, the mountain-building processes that later deformed those rocks, and the nature o...

Année(s) de permis: 2024 2023 2022
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5791. The objectives of this study are to (1) evaluate the geologic setting including geochemistry, and dating of sediments to establish a regional history of the area. (2) investigate the geologic setting of multiple buried, massive ice bodies. And (3) develop a geologic and hazards map along the ITH, highlighting feature...

Année(s) de permis: 2024 2023 2022
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5816. This research will be guided by three objectives: 1) determine the largest possible contribution of mantle-derived heat sources, 2) establish a modern structural and tectono-metamorphic framework, and 3) evaluate evidence for mantle-derived heat input. Studies will involve field observations and targeted small-vo...

Année(s) de permis: 2023
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5572. The objective of this field season is to gather more information on the depositional history of the Sosan Group. This will be accomplished through field observations, such as noting sedimentary structures and measuring detailed stratigraphic sections. This will help determine what processes deposited the sediment...

Année(s) de permis: 2023
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5571. For much of Earth’s history, microbes have been the only forms of life on our planet. As a result of this dominance, the sedimentary rock record is full of physical and chemical evidence of microbial activity. Stromatolites, which are laminated buildups constructed, or aided, by microbes, are one kind of microbial ...

Année(s) de permis: 2023
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5547. This research project proposes to examine the geological characteristics of Cretaceous (~78-88 Ma) metal-rich Smoking Hills Formation mudstones (black shale) and understand the mechanisms by which these metal-rich deposits formed, their extents and stratigraphic variability, and the release of dissolved metals into su...

chercheur principal: Knox, Bernadette
Année(s) de permis: 2023
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5565. The purpose of this project is designed to understand the environment in which the volcanic rocks were formed. The styles of mineralization will be looked at to understand if they formed at the same time as the volcanoes or much later. This work will be done by analyzing rock chemistry, and looking at very thin piec...
