Principal Investigator: Robinson, Cindy
Licensed Year(s): 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4645. In accordance with the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board (MVWLB) Guidelines, the overarching closure goal for former mine sites is to return the site and affected areas to viable, and wherever practicable, self-sustaining ecosystems that are compatible with a healthy environment and with human activities. To meet ...

Principal Investigator: Duk-Rodkin, Alejandra ADR
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006 2005 2004
Summary: Project objectives are to map, identify, describe characteristics (geotechnical aspects) and date surficial deposits in the vicinity of the proposed pipeline corridor. This knowledge will assess: 1. granular resources. 2. slope instability, landslide occurrence and potential due mainly to instability of the active layer, forest fires and erosion. 3. geochemical analysis on a regional basis of till...

Principal Investigator: Schincariol, Robert A
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: An improved understanding of the thaw and drainage processes, and exchanges of energy and moisture that control the flow of water in the vast wetland region of Canada is needed to improve weather and climate change predictions. Large-scale experiments on soils of the Central Mackenzie River basin will be used to elucidate moisture and carbon transport processes in the active layer. Laboratory base...

Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004
Summary: The researchers did a number of baseline studies during 2001 through 2004 as part of the Mackenzie Gas Project. These studies are continuing in 2005. Local knowledge and technical/scientific research is being used to design plans, assess impacts, and develop environmental protection plans. The aquatics field crews will consist of two Mackenzie Project Environment Group researchers and a local as...

Principal Investigator: Graburn, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004
Summary: This research is part of an aerial reconnaissance program to study spring breakup at the major watercourse crossings along the proposed pipeline right-of-way from the Deh Cho region in the south to the Inuvialuit Settlement Region in the north. The resea...

Principal Investigator: Graburn, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: The proposed activities form part of a Summer Field Geotechnical Investigation Program to be conducted in the Deh Cho Region during 2003. The objective of this program is to gather information that will assess the soil and ground conditions at a represe...

Principal Investigator: Graburn, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 2004 2003
Summary: The objective of this field reconnaissance program is to conduct preliminary site investigations of potential barge sites, camp sites, stockpile sites, compressor locations, watercourse crossings, water sources for ice road construction and potential cam...

Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2004 2003 2002
Summary: This project will involve several helicopter flights for the purposes of pipeline routing, site selection and geotechnical observation within the Deh Cho Region. During the flights, locations of important land features will be confirmed by Global Positi...

Principal Investigator: Harry, David
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: A project directed toward the prediction and monitoring of geomorphic and geologic conditions along the route of the Norman Wells-Zama pipeline. Fieldwork will focus on observations of terrain performance along the pipeline ROW following the 1983/84 winter construction season....
