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 ...

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: 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: 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: 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....
