Principal Investigator: Brooks, Greg
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: If an oil and gas pipeline is constructed that extends from the Mackenzie Delta to the south, the pipeline will likely cross the East Channel at either Lousy or Swimming Points. Both of these sites have been studied in the past, but little detailed information has been collected on the physical features of these sites. Data will be collected on the features of these sites, including a survey of ...

Principal Investigator: Macdonald, R.W.
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: Squires Taylor, Cindy
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The Researcher will conduct a survey, approximately 30 km on either side of the Mackenzie River using satellite imagery. A classification will be undertaken of the area from the Mackenzie Delta to the Fort Simpson area, with wider zones along the east side to include proposed pipeline routes. The information can be plotted as colour maps to show the location of trap lines, forest fires or wildlife...

Principal Investigator: Forbes, Donald L
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researchers will use the ARKTOS 5 amphibious vehicle for geophysical surveying in the vicinity of Tuktoyaktuk and the proposed Amauligak pipeline landing site on Richards Island. They will measure nearshore sediment dynamics using wave and current meters at selected locations in the vicinity of the proposed pipeline landing site at North Head....

Principal Investigator: Jones, Timothy
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his assistant will carry out a resource evaluation. A national park has been proposed for the Bluenose Lake area. Before land may be set aside as a park reserve, an assessment of non-renewable (oil, gas, minerals) resource potential is required....

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....

Principal Investigator: Harwood, Lois
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To monitor the relative abundance and distribution of bowhead whales relative to oil and gas industry activities....

Principal Investigator: Heiermann, Miss Uta
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To study the geosocial and geoeconomical impacts arising from Beaufort Sea Oil Development....

Principal Investigator: Richardson, W. John
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To continue to conduct studies to determine the possible effects of oil and gas exploration and development on the behaviour of the Bowhead whale....

Principal Investigator: Butler, R.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To examine the compatibility of hydrocarbon development and the tourist industry and related resources in the Mackenzie Delta and surrounding area....
