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: Forbes, D.L.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The team will gather information on coastal erosion rates, geotechnical properties of coastal sediments and on the geological processes occurring along this permafrost coast. Surveys will include lithology description, ice content estimates and sediment sampling of the cliff face. Beach profiles at sites along the Yukon coast and on the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula will also be surveyed....

Principal Investigator: Scotter, George
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and team will carry out this survey at the request of the community of Paulatuk. They will summarize the existing knowledge of the natural resources of the Bluenose Lake Region. A total of about 20 stops will be made to examine the vegetation, soil, wildlife and physiogeography and to collect plant and soil samples....

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: Dallimore, S.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1989
Summary: The team will drill and sample five 100 meter boreholes along a transect from northern Richards Island to an anomalous permafrost site 25 Km off-shore. In site testing, geophysical and geothermal logging will accompany the drilling. Undisturbed core will be maintained and shipped to the SINT lab in Inuvik for detailed logging, testing and subsampling....

Principal Investigator: Schunke, Ekkehard
Licensed Year(s): 2000 1994 1992 1990
Summary: Dr. Schunke and his assistant will collect measurements and observations of surface forms and surface processes, soils, permafrost and hydrology...

Principal Investigator: Luckman, B.H.
Licensed Year(s): 1989
Summary: Dr. Luckman and one assistant will look for potential sites for the Geological Survey of Canada to study global change. They will also obtain recent tree-ring chronologies from treeline sites in the Mackenzie Delta....

Principal Investigator: Worsley, Peter
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Dr. Worsley is coming from England with his research associates to continue his studies of how the rocks, landscape, and permafrost of Banks Island have changed in the last million years. He is interested in using this information to try to determine what conditions where like in England long ago....

Principal Investigator: Swett, Keene
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Dr. Swett is a university professor of geology from Iowa, USA. He is being sponsored by the National Geographic Society to look at the rocks in Glenelg Bay....

Principal Investigator: Gajewski, Stephen
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To conduct aerial recnnaissance of the target areas, touching down at various outcrops to map and collect rock samples to bring back for analysis....
