Principal Investigator: Rocheleau, Jonathan
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4969. The aim of the proposed fieldwork is to characterize the reservoir for potential geothermal resources in Fort Liard by studying the same rock formation where it is accessible at surface. By looking at how the Nahanni Formation changes both horizontally and vertically in a surface outcrop the research team can infer ho...

Summary: The objective of this research project is to map the March Fault and the structures in the rocks that it cuts through to look for evidence of when it formed, how it formed, and how much relative movement has occurred along it. This research is primarily a field-based involving detailed geological mapping by foot along a series of traverses across the March Fault. The research team will use rock...

Principal Investigator: Skeries, Kristina A
Licensed Year(s): 2011
Summary: The objective of this research project is to understand how metals might be weathering from rocks, and to understand where they end up and in which chemical form (the speciation). The importance is to differentiate between the metal species that weather from the rocks, the species by which they are transported, and finally, the species by which they are deposited again, if they are in fact deposit...

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...

Principal Investigator: Millman, Peter M
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006
Summary: The objective of the project is to observe and document geological features in completing a reconnaissance of the surface geology of the Cambrian and Proteozoic sections in four areas the Central Mackenzie region: Mackenzie Mountains, Mount Clark, Black Water Lake and Cap Mountain. Geological information obtained from this field program will be used to refine Devon Canada's exploration model in th...

Principal Investigator: Gal, Leonard
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: The objective of the fieldwork is to further assess the non-renewable resource potential of the Edehzhie area, as a follow-up to Phase I work which was a review of existing data. This assessment is being carried out as part of the Northwest Territories P...

Principal Investigator: Falck, Hendrik
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002
Summary: The purpose of this project is to develop and compile an inventory, and improve the understanding of mineral deposits related to granite intrusions in the western Northwest Territories. Understanding the concentrations of metals in the environment is im...

Principal Investigator: Lane, Larry S
Licensed Year(s): 2002 2001 2000
Summary: The research team will resume mapping bedrock and surficial geology at 1:50,000 and 1:250,000 scales, continuing a project begun in the summer of 2000. The base of operations will be either at Fort Liard, or at an existing base camp on the southeastern La Biche River. Fly camps will be accessed by helicopter. Fly camps will be visited by 2-4 crew members for about 1 week. From the fly camps the ...
