Neoproterozoic Keele Formation, Mackenzie Mountains, NWT and its relation to to major Late Proterozoic glaciations.
Principal Investigator: Day, Edith
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The research team will be flown from Norman Wells to the base camp at Moose Horn River by helicopter. Moves to fly camps (Stoneknife River and Black Wolf Creek) will also be made by helicopter. The camp will consist of one sleeping tent per team member and one cooking tent. The research team will walk to data collection sites on foot. Data collection will consist of measuring rocks with a rule...


Distribution of Late (Frasnian) Devonian Crinoids in the Hay River and Mackenzie River Regions of the Northwest Territories, Canada
Principal Investigator: McIntosh, George
Licensed Year(s): 2000
Summary: This research involves how groups of marine invertebrate fossils, crinoids evolved over a 6 million year interval designated as the Frasnian Stage. The researcher will study the rock exposures along the Mackenzie Highway between Hay River/Enterprise and Fort Simpson. The fossils to be collected rarely exceed 3 cm and collecting will be restricted to weathered surfaces composed of loose material. ...


Magnetotelluric survey in northern British Columbia and the Yukon
Principal Investigator: Jones, Alan
Licensed Year(s): 1999
Summary: The objective of the study is to investigate the structure and composition of the earth's crust and upper mantle to depths greater than 60 km in northern British Columbia, NWT and BC. At eight locations along NWT hwy. 7, sensors will be lowered into small (1 m long x 25 cm wide x 25cm deep) holes dug in the ground . These sensors will measure the time variations of the Earth's natural electrical ...


Collection of Silurian fishes and trilobites and articulated remains of Devonian chondrichthyans and other fishes from the Mackenzie Mountains, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: Wilson, Mark V.H.
Licensed Year(s): 2013 1998 1996 1990
Summary: The objectives of the research are 1) to collect remains of Silurian and Devonian fishes, and 2) to collect remains of Silurian trilobites. Activities are limited to travel, residence at camp locations and collection of fossils. Helicopters will be used to access camp sites. We plan to land at Avalanche Lake on July 15, spending 6 days collecting fossils at Avalanche Lake, followed by one day of t...


Geological Mapping 95 C/8 - South Kotaneelee Anticline and 95 B/5 and 12.
Principal Investigator: Currie, Lisel
Licensed Year(s): 1997
Summary: The purpose of the study is to conduct standard 1:50 000 geological mapping as per mandate of the Geological Survey of Canada. This will be in the central Kotaneelee Range. This will involve daily long distance traverse to describe the rocks across the area. Most parts of the area will be visited only once. The research team will be dropped off and picked up by helicopter. During the day they ...


Slave - Northern Cordillera Refraction Experiment (SNORE 97)
Principal Investigator: Clowes, Ron M.
Licensed Year(s): 1997
Summary: This refraction seismic project is part of larger transect which extends from Yellowknife to Stewart on the west coast of BC. Part of the sequence of Earth & Ocean Science studies to provide an in-depth image of the deep structure of the Earth throughout the region and will help to define the sequence of emplacement of various types of rock formations in the region. Pre-experiment: 1) Flag reco...


Seismic and electromagnetic studies of the earth's crust: Great Slave Lake to Nahanni Butte
Principal Investigator: Eaton, David
Licensed Year(s): 1999 1996
Summary: Since the region of investigation (down to a depth of 50 km or more) is inaccessible, geophysical techniques will be used. One technique will be seismic reflection profiling, a method adapted from the oil industry. Large vehicles are use to generate seismic waves, which travel downwards and reflect off boundaries. These echoes are recorded by surface instruments, and the data are processed to p...


Granatic pegmatites of the Canadian Cordillera
Principal Investigator: Groat, Lee A.
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1994 1993
Summary: The researchers will continue their study, begun in 1993, on the pegmatites found in the Selwyn Mountains and other western Canadian locations. Pegmatites contain rare elements such as lithium, beryllium, ribidium, niobium, cesium and talalum. This study will result study will result in a summary of information on pegmatites, including detailed information on their classification, origins and...


Soil Climates of the Mackenzie Valley
Principal Investigator: Tarnocai, Charles
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: Soil (at seven depths) and air temperature data are recorded by data loggers. These loggers are programmed to collect data every 3 hours on the hour. The sites are visited twice a year to reprogram the loggers. In addition, active layer depth and subsidence are also recorded during the fall visit. Researchers will collect this data in order to determine the effect of climate change on the envi...


The Hydrogeology and Deposition of the Rabbitkettle Hotsprings and Tufa Mounds, Nahanni National Park, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: Gulley, Angela L.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The Researcher will continue a project begun in 1991 which included mapping the local geology adjacent to the hotsprings, conducting a geochemical analysis of the springwaters, monitoring the physical properties, calculating natural discharge rates and conducting a pumping test and monitoring of depositional rates of tufa accumulations....
