Land Management Problems in Hydrocarbon Development Areas with Ice-Rich Permafrost: Detection and Assessment
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2010 2009
Résumé: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application no. 946. The objective of this research is to better understand the distribution of underground ice in hydrocarbon development areas. By identifying how much ice there is, the researcher wants to study how oil/gas activities and climate change could affect the land. Underground ice is one of the most unpredictable and problema...


Application of shallow geophysical investigations to understanding surficial geology, Mackenzie corridor and Colville Hills, NWT
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2009
Résumé: This licence was issued for the scientific research application No. 935. This study will test whether the shallow geophysics techniques of Ground Penetrating Radar and Ohm Mapper Resistivity Logging, in combination with seismic shothole drillers’ logs, can be used to resolve the nature and extent of the surficial geology cover and permafrost characteristics in two areas of recent seismic explor...


Geological Reconnaissance and proposed Field Trip across the northern Richardson Mountains and Mackenzie Delta area
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2008
Résumé: This study will be composed of an assessment field trip as well as a larger field study used to teach the regional geology to geologists who work for companies that currently hold petroleum leases in the Delta area. The trip in July will serve as a scoping trip to prepare for the field trip by assessing specific sites for suitability as field trip stops. Every site will be evaluated for its scien...


Regional Geoscience Studies and Petroleum Potential of the Peel Plateau and Plain, Northwest Territories & Yukon
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2007 2006 2005
Résumé: Peel Plateau and Plain, an area with hydrocarbon potential spanning the NWT-Yukon border, lies southwest of the Mackenzie River, north of the Mackenzie Mountains, and east of the Richardson Mountains. A primary objective of this project is to expand geoscience knowledge to aid in informed land use decisions, as well as stimulate petroleum exploration, industry investment, and economic development ...


Regional Terrain Hazards Mapping
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2006 2005
Résumé: The goal of this project is to compile updated baseline information/knowledge on the types, regional distribution, and controls (e.g. forests fires, climate change) of landslides. The main objectives of the field reconnaissance at landslide sites are six-fold: 1) to validate previous data collected through air photo interpretation and remote sensing techniques; 2) to carry out detailed mapping at ...


2005 Terrestrial Studies in the Gwich’in Settlement Area
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2005 2004 2003 2002
Résumé: The 2005 terrestrial studies include vegetation mapping, rare plant surveys, rare plant mitigation planning, timber cruising, and landform, soil and permafrost investigations. All of the studies will be conducted by three- or four-person crews supported by helicopter. A local assistant will be included as part of each terrestrial survey team to assist in observing and recording data taken at surve...


Landscapes of the Mackenzie River delta and of the Tuktoyaktuk peninsula as possible analogues for the study of Martian landform development
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2009 2007 2006 2005 2004
Résumé: The research objective is to sample the active layer of the permafrost in areas where patterned ground and thermokarst are present. The data gained will help the researchers to understand possible cold-climate processes in the northern hemisphere of Mars. The researchers will be based in Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk. They intend to visit areas in the vicinity of Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk where patterned...


Examination of selected Kamik formation outcroppings in the Richardson Mountains
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2004 2002
Résumé: The general purpose of the trip is to examine sites where the Kamik formation is at the surface and to collect rock samples. The site visits are important to work relating to the development of Conoco's interest at Parsons Lake in the Inuvialuiit Settlem...


Permafrost investigations in western arctic Canada
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998
Résumé: Changes in the ground due to uplift, associated with the growth of a pingo, and sideways movements due to the growth of ice wedges, will be measured. Air, ground, and lake water temperatures will be measured, in order to find out how the ground is responding to climatic variation. The reseach team will also return to Paulatuk, to continue studies Dr. Mackay began there 50 years ago. Travel to s...


Coastal Impacts of Climate Change
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2000 1999 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992
Résumé: The primary objectives of the project are to map the coastline of the Canadian Beaufort Sea in terms of its sensitivity to coastal erosion and monitor changes in the coastline, and to collect information on the morphology of the coast and the sediments which compose it for use in developing and calibrating predictive models of coastal change. In order to achieve these objectives previously proven ...
