Summary: This Beaufort Seabed Mapping Project is designed to assess the environmental impact of offshore hydrocarbon exploration and transportation on the renewable resources of the Beaufort Sea. This project has 3 objectives: 1) seabed sampling using grab sample...

Principal Investigator: Wielens, Hans
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher will look at several outcropping rock formations that are accessible in the NWT. The potential for hydrocarbon generation and storage of these rocks will be the main focus of the work....

Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: Funded by NOGAP, this ongoing project is addressing the transport of substances to and across the Beaufort Shelf including hydrocarbons, and the ecological processes with which oil exploration will interact. The dynamics of shorefast ice fields, shelf circulation and currents, vertical mixing processes, water properties, plant pigments in the water column and vertical flux of particles over the s...

Principal Investigator: Peddle, Juanetta
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researchers will establish an overview of background levels of contaminants in the Mackenzie River Delta. The study includes collection of large volume water, suspended sediment and grab samples at both inflow and outflow sites of the Mackenzie River Delta. Large volume samples will be extracted at the Inuvik Research Centre, and concentrated before being shipped out for analysis....

Principal Investigator: Macdonald, R.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To continue the study and come to understand natural hydrocarbon distributions and primary productivity in the oil exploration zone of the Mackenzie Estuary. To predict the impact of projected industrial discharges of hydrocarbons, planned or accidental, by studying and model processes governing natural distributions of the same compounds....
