Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Alan R
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5217. The objective of the fieldwork is to collect geotechnical and geophysical data to further advance the Inuvialuit Energy Security Project (IESP). The engineering design for the IESP Energy Facility has advanced to the point of identifying two preferred locations for the Energy Facility. Both locations are within the pr...

Summary: The primary objective of this research involves testing a strategy for using Inuvialuit Knowledge to monitor environmental conditions in the Mackenzie Delta Region (MDR) of the Northwest Territories. Methods will include participatory photo mapping, community mapping, and photo elicitation interviews to monitor, record, document and communicate Inuvialuit observations of environmental change in th...

Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008 2007 2006
Summary: The objective of this field work is to better understand the movement behaviour of the landslides in the region. The Geological Survey of Canada’s research group lead by Dr. Baolin Wang has been conducting landslide research in the region since 2004. This is the final year of the project. The previous permits have expired. However, there is a need to make a follow up trip to the various landsli...

Principal Investigator: Seligman, Ben
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006
Summary: The proposed fieldwork is an expansion of previous years' fieldwork to develop a suitable knowledge base for planning and development. In addition, some routine maintenance at Camp Farewell will be conducted. The majority of the proposed work is planned for the Niglintgak area and is focused around the Gas Conditioning Facility (GCF) and the Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) crossing site, as ...

Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004 2003 2002
Summary: The route and site reconnaissance activities will be used to: review the proposed location for a potential gas gathering system and potential pipeline route through the Inuvialuit Settlement Region; revisit or determine the optimal locations for infrastructure sites, roads, granular resource sites, water withdrawal sites, and potential revegetation test sites; visually inspect and confirm land for...

Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004 2003
Summary: The researchers did a number of baseline studies during 2001 through 2004 as part of the Mackenzie Gas Project. These studies are continuing in 2005. Local knowledge and technical/scientific research is being used to design plans, assess impacts, and develop environmental protection plans. The aquatics field crews will consist of two Mackenzie Project Environment Group researchers and a local as...

Principal Investigator: Widdifield, Dave
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: The researchers want to learn about the ground conditions at the site by drilling up to 69 boreholes to depths ranging from 16 to 50 metres. They want to find out how thick the active layer is and find any transitions between frozen and unfrozen ground;...

Principal Investigator: Graburn, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: The general objective of the program is to obtain information with respect to subsurface conditions at the site by drilling up to fifty boreholes to depths ranging from sixteen to twenty metres. The specific objectives of the program are to characterize...

Principal Investigator: Graburn, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: This program will investigate five potential sources of granular materials and subsurface drilling at the proposed Storm Hills Pigging Facility. It is estimated that the program will require up to 90 days to complete. Up to 45 persons are expected to wor...

Principal Investigator: Graburn, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: This research forms part of an aerial reconnaissance program to observe the characteristic break-up patterns at selected watercourse crossings along the proposed pipeline right-of-way from the Deh Cho region in the south to the Inuvialuit Settlement Regi...
