Summary:
To study the development of Devonian reefs, as exposed in areas and roadcuts between Hay River and Fort Simpson. This is to better understand the different types of reefs that grew in the area 370 million years ago, and how they formed large bodies of li...

Summary:
Transport of the research team to sites will be by truck, contingent on road access. Tent camps will be established for housing in the field. The camp will consist of 2 researchers, for the months of August and September, with possible sporadic visits by other researchers throughout the summer. Field activities will involve examining and documenting lead-zinc occurences, and collecting lead-zi...

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...

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...

Two people will be transported to the field sites via helicopter from Norman Wells. All ground work is done on foot. Data collection involves photography of rock outcrops, measurement of stratigraphic sections using a tape measure, description of outcrops, and selective sampling of about 100 fist-sized rock samples using a geological hammer....
