Principal Investigator: Kamal, Darius
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5589. This project aims to map the regional structural geometry surrounding the Howard's Pass district to examine the effects of reactivated basement structures and Cordilleran deformation on Zn-Pb ore bodies. The project research is primarily field based involving detailed geologic mapping on foot. Small samples will be c...

Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5188. The research team will conduct geological mapping on the Van property. This will include stratigraphic rock sampling above and below the known vanadium rich mineralization and possible rock sampling in areas of the property of geological interest. Geologic mapping is conducted by visually inspecting surface exposur...

Summary: Collect airborne laser scanning data over biomass plots over NWT. Specifically to develop biomass and forest resource models for GNWT multi source inventory, and to assess how the resource is changing through time and in space due to climate and fire influences. Airborne laser data coverage is calibrated by field plot data (most provided by GNWT) and models are created which are then upscaled t...

Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006 2005 2004
Summary: This project involves surficial geology mapping of unmapped areas of NTS 95 G, H, and I, (61ºN to 63ºN and 120ºW to 124ºW) to assess granular resources, slope instability (landslide occurrence and potential) due to instability of the active layer, forest fires, erosion, and other factors, and regional geochemical analysis of till and gravel samples. The GSC will be working to improve our under...

Principal Investigator: MacNeil, Alex
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002
Summary: The purpose of this study (2003 component) is to examine the fossilized types of corals that are found in the regional geological formations. Locally these corals coalesced to form mini-reefs, with interesting ecological characteristics. From the study...

Principal Investigator: Lane, Larry S
Licensed Year(s): 2002 2001 2000
Summary: In 2002, the research team plans to complete bedrock and surficial mapping using helicopter-supported foot traverse. In the areas to be mapped at 1:50,000 scale, mapping will include helicopter setouts and pickups from bases of operation at Ft. Liard, an...

Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2004 2003 2002
Summary: Route and site selection flights will be used to: (1) determine the location for a potential natural gas pipeline route and associated developments through the Deh Cho Region; (2) visually inspect and confirm land forms and geotechnical features; (3) identify land features that may be important to the location or construction of a potential gas pipeline; and (4) determine the locations for poten...

Principal Investigator: Jowett, David
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The research team will complete a study of the Cretaceous strata in the Liard Basin area, using micropaleontology, geochemistry and various correlation techniques. Fieldwork will begin on 1 June 2001, and continue through most of July. The research team will access remote rock outcrops by helicopter, or in some cases by inflatable boat on some of the major rivers (Liard River and Petitot River)....

Principal Investigator: Smith, Rod
Licensed Year(s): 1999
Summary: The purpose of the study is to continue the standard 1:50 000 geological mapping that was started in the summer of 1997 as per mandate of the Geological Survey of Canada. Parties will be sent out by helicopter from Fort Liard and most of the area will be visited only once. The primary method of fieldwork is by foot traverse. Observations will be recorded and small samples of rocks and sediments...

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 ...
