Global and regional environmental signals of the Mississippian/Pennsylvanian strata in the Liard Basin Northwest Canada
Principal Investigator: Fedorowski, Jerzy A.
Licensed Year(s): 2020 2019 2018
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4655. The principal aim of this project is to examine the settlement, development and decline of the fossil corals as a response to environmental conditions in the Liard region during Mississippian to Early Pennsylvanian times (358.9 to 314.6 million years ago). The study will be conducted against the background of the worl...


Using the past to inform the future: A paleoecological perspective of the impacts of drought and fire on lakes, permafrost and forests
Principal Investigator: Pisaric, Michael FJ
Licensed Year(s): 2019 2018 2017 2016
Summary: The objectives of this research are to examine the frequency and severity of past wildfire and drought (drought-like) conditions in the southern Northwest Territories. Specifically, the research team will examine the following questions: 1) how frequent and severe have fires been in the past; 2) are fires becoming more frequent/severe due to the impacts of climate change; 3) what impact does wildf...


Stratigraphic and paleontological reconnaissance of Devonian geology, Hay River area, NWT
Principal Investigator: Schneider, Christie L
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: This year, the research purpose is to investigate potential geological localities for work next year, so direct involvement with local communities and guides will be minimal. The researcher intends to identify and talk with people who have outfitting and guide businesses, and those who have knowledge of potential research areas for next summer’s research. The objectives of the proposed researc...


Jurassic and Cretaceous ichthyosaurs diversity in Northern Canada
Principal Investigator: Maxwell, Erin E
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008
Summary: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application no. 1011. The goals of this research are to 1) collect and identify invertebrate fossils to correctly date the rocks the historic marine reptile fossils were collected from; and 2) to collect and identify any new vertebrate fossils found, in order to improve our knowledge of the diversity and evolution of Mesozoic marine repti...


New ischnacanthid acanthodians from the Lower Devonian of the Mackenzie Mountains, NT, Canada
Principal Investigator: Hermus, Chelsea
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: The main objective of the project is to collect fossils of two specific groups of early fishes (acanthodians and heterostracans) to supplement specimens already collected for research projects at the University of Alberta. The field party plans to journe...


Basin Analysis of the Liard Basin.
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)....


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. ...


Paleontology and sedimentology of Late Proterozoic Little Dal Reefs, Mackenzie Mountains, NWT.
Principal Investigator: Turner, Elizabeth C
Licensed Year(s): 2001 1999 1998 1996 1994 1992 1991 1989 1988
Summary: 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....


Paleobiology of Reef Faunas in Middle-Upper Devonian Strata in the Hay River Area
Principal Investigator: Johnston, Paul A.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher and his team will look for fossils of reef animals. Notes will be taken on the growth positions of the reef animals, and about 400 kg of fossils will be collected by hand or with hammers and chisels from various localities. The fossils will be brought back to the Royal Tyrrell Museum and used to make molds. Casts from these molds will be used to make an exhibit showing a three-di...


Sedimentology of Channel-fills and Point Bar Deposits of the Former Liard and South Nahanni Rivers
Principal Investigator: Smith, Derald
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and team will study the sediments ( mud and sand) in river cutbanks to reconstruct the paleogeography (river history) of the Nahanni Butte topographic basin....
