Summary: The general purpose of the trip is to examine sites where the Kamik formation is at the surface and to collect rock samples. The site visits are important to work relating to the development of Conoco's interest at Parsons Lake in the Inuvialuiit Settlem...

Principal Investigator: Millman, Pete
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: The primary objective of this work is to investigate whether a full scale insulated ice pad is economically, structurally, and environmentally feasible in the Mackenzie Delta for the purpose of an exploratory drilling program. The pad will be constructed...

Principal Investigator: Coulombe-Pontbriand, Moise
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: The study will attempt to reconstruct the past 10,000 year geomorphological and hydrological history of the Mackenzie River using sedimentological records of fluvial deposits. The researcher will travel by Zodiac boat from Jean-Marie River to Point Separ...

Principal Investigator: Melling, Humfrey
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: This project will establish a baseline climate-monitoring site in the perennial ice zone of the Canada Basin. Mooring carrying instruments to measure thickness of drifting perennial pack ice will be kept at Station A on the 3000-m isobath in the Canada B...

Summary: Ambient air quality data will be collected to the northeast of the Community of Inuvik. Monitored parameters will include sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and ozone. These data will be collected by a series of passive sampling devices, that will require servicing on a monthly basis. The sample media will be changed out at the end of each month, and returned to the laboratory for detailed chemica...

Principal Investigator: Veillette, Jean
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: Field work will consist of helicopter traverses run from two base camps, with stops at points of interest previously identified from air photos, and detailed traverses conducted from fly camps lasting from 4-6 days. Fly camps will be run by a two-man crew, positioned by helicopter, who will operate up to 10-15 km from the camp. Most field observations will be directed at identifying and counting ...
