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...

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...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4527.
The objectives are to:
1) Compare the distribution of tree and shrub biomass within accessible areas in the Taiga Shield and Taiga Plains landscapes using lidar remote sensing, and by developing tree and shrub vegetation biomass models from field data;
2) Characterize and compare non fire-disturbed patterns of veget...

20182017 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4499.
This airborne field campaign will link studies conducted on the ground with data collected through satellite remote sensing, enabling a deeper understanding of the vulnerability and resilience of these ecosystems, and how people within and beyond this region are responding to change. The ABoVE airborne campaigns can p...

Summary:
The objective is to measure the age and stock of organic carbon derived from wildfires (fire-derived carbon) in the Mackenzie River region, and examine long- and short-term processes controlling the size and distribution of fire-derived carbon stocks in soils.
The research team will measure fire-derived carbon stocks in soils and determine its age (radiocarbon dating) at four different location...

The objectives of this research project are: 1) to continue the detection and characterization of earthquakes occurring within the northern Canadian Cordillera (Mackenzie Mountains) and surrounding areas, which are one the most seismically active areas of Canada; and 2) to study the Earth structures at large depths (0 to 100 km) to understand the formation and evolution of the Cordillera. To this ...

Summary:
The proposed field program is designed to provide information on fish habitat and wildlife in the area of three exploratory petroleum well sites and along their respective access routes in the Fort Liard/Nahanni Butte area. Researchers will travel to the well sites and along access routes sites by helicopter with survey work carried out by air, small boat and on foot. Fish habitat assessments, wa...

1999
Summary:
The purpose of the study is to continue the standard 1:50 000 geological mapping that was started in the summer of 1997 as per mandate of the Geological Survey of Canada. Parties will be sent out by helicopter from Fort Liard and most of the area will be visited only once. The primary method of fieldwork is by foot traverse. Observations will be recorded and small samples of rocks and sediments...

Summary:
The purpose of this study is to collect information about a variety ecosystems crossed by or in close proximity to the potential routes for a proposed pipeline. Fisheries and water quality studies will involve a survey of fish habitat, and of the water quality of any water bodies allong the proposed routes. Any fish collection will be outlined by Department of Fisheries and Oceans research permits...
