NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

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: Boyes, Donald M.
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1994 1990
Summary: The Researcher and team propose to provide a better understanding of the present fluvial regime in the area and a method of assessing the effects of uncontrollable influences such as global warming and controllable factores such as hydro-electric and pipeline development....

Principal Investigator: Smol, John P
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The research team will sample approximately 20 lakes located within a 100 km radius of Tuktoyaktuk and within the immediate vicinity of Inuvik. At each lake they will analyze the water for major environmental variables and remove some of the lake mud for future analysis of algal remains....

Principal Investigator: Elliott, D.K.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: This research project will involve the measurement and description of stratigraphic sections and the collection of rock and fossil samples for laboratory study....

Principal Investigator: Mattner, Jorg
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To reconstruct the depositional environment in as much detail as possible, of the Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous sediments nowadays outcropping in the central part of the northern Richardson Mountains...

Principal Investigator: St-Onge, Denis A.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To collect small specimens, mostly of unconsolidated sediments, in order to determine their nature, origin and age....

Principal Investigator: Ritchie, J.C.
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: (a) To collect a series of lake sediments; (b) To collect selected plant groups and conduct vegetation analysis....

Principal Investigator: Thomas, David
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: As part of a baseline study: (1) To collect sediment and sea water samples for chemical analysis. (2) To collect samples of benthic invertebrates at or below depths of 50 metres for subsequent analysis and classification....

Principal Investigator: Sherstone, David A.
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To conduct aerial photography to identify possible ice jam areas. To conduct aerial photography to identify alternate pipeline routes. To collect samples of river water for sediment load analysis....

Principal Investigator: Ritchie, J.C.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: To examine and sample the unconsolidated sediments of various small lakes in an area surrounding Hyndman Lake (50 km. radius) ESE of Inuvik, for the purpose of making laboratory analyses of Carbon - 14 age, pollen stratigraphy and other microfossils. The ultimate objective is to reconstruct the past vegetation and environment of the area....
