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: Hawkins, Jim R.
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: Several biophysical and engineering studies on the feasibility of a pipeline in the Mackenzie Valley have been conducted, and will continue in 2007. Local knowledge, scientific research, and existing technical information are being used to develop a knowledge base for environmental protection plans, engineering design and regulatory processes. Route and site reconnaissance will be carried out ...

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: Ferguson, Gordon
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002
Summary: A total of eight permanent sampling transects will be established along the pipeline right-of-way; two in each of the four dominant representative vegetation habitats. Site-specific evaluations at each transect will measure re-vegetative success using ve...

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): 1985
Summary: A project directed toward the prediction and monitoring of geomorphic and geologic conditions along the route of the Norman Wells-Zana pipeline. Fieldwork will focus on investigation of terrain conditions during and subsequent to the 1984-85 winter construction season....

Principal Investigator: Sherstone, David A.
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To conduct aerial photography to identify possible ice jam areas. To conduct aerial photography to identify alternate pipeline routes. To collect samples of river water for sediment load analysis....
