Principal Investigator: McDowell, Donald
Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: The objective of the study is to gather ice thickness and water depth data related to a potential 2005 seismic survey application area. This research project will assist in a forthcoming consultation and environmental assessment process by determining th...

Principal Investigator: Hodgson, D.A.
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002 2001 2000
Summary: Under instruction from Natural Resources Canada Climate change program, this project aims to: (1) examine Northwest Victoria Island for evidence of glacial and sea level changes associated with the Younger Dryas cooling period that affected the northern...

Principal Investigator: England, John H
Licensed Year(s): 2012 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002
Summary: This research is concerned with the nature and style of past glaciations as well as the history of sea level and climatic changes. The broad objective is to obtain a long term paleoclimatic record (before the arrival of the Pre-Dorset people) from these...

Principal Investigator: Beierle, Brandon
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: The research team will obtain sediment cores from a series of lakes near Reindeer Station and Inuvik for the purpose of reconstructing the hydrological, climatological and geomorphic history of the lower Mackenzie River basin. The research will require fieldwork between 15 April and 25 April. Research will involve the development of a high-resolution paleoenvironmental record based on lake sedime...

Principal Investigator: Murton, Julian B
Licensed Year(s): 1999 1998
Summary: The main objective of the proposed research is to establish the origin of massive bodies of underground ice at two key massive-ice localities in the Mackenzie Delta area: i) Cliff Point, Liverpool Bay and (ii) near Eskimo Lakes. The research will be carried out by an interdisciplinary team of scientists examining the geology, glaciology and chemistry of the ice and adjacent sediments. The research...

Principal Investigator: Black, Thomas A.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his assistant will paddle a route from Coppermine up the Rae River across the watershed and down the Hornaday River. They will examine the fluvial geomorphology and evidence of continetal glaciation along this route....

Principal Investigator: Kerr, Daniel E.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To collect data for PhD thesis; to investigate the nature of the Late Quaternary stratigraphic record of marine and glaciomarine deposits exposed by rivers along the mainland coast of the NWT; to define ice-front positions during ice retreat; to describe the succession of depositional environments during deglaciation; to evaluate the extent of isostatic uplift....

Principal Investigator: Sherstone, David A.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: (1) Aerial photography program of hydrologic characteristics of ice break-up and movement in support of environmental engineering research. (2) Aerial photography program of glaciologically interesting areas and environmentally active areas....

Principal Investigator: Sherstone, David A.
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To acquire aerial photography of hydrologic characteristics of ice break-up and movement in the Mackenzie and lower Liard Rivers. To acquire photography of river break-up and environmentally sensitive areas along the proposed Arctic Islands pipeline route from Churchill to Spence Bay. To acquire photography of specific glaciology research sites throughout the Arctic Islands (with emphasis on the...
