Principal Investigator: Graburn, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 2004 2003
Summary: This field reconnaissance program involves preliminary site investigations of potential barge sites, camp sites, stockpile sites, compressor locations, anchor field pads (Niglintgak, Taglu, Parson's Lake), watercourse crossings, water sources for ice roa...

Principal Investigator: Callow, Lin
Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: The objective of these trials is to evaluate the performance of Low Ground Pressure Vehicles (LGPV) on frozen tundra without surface preparation. The effects of LGPV passage on soil, permafrost, and vegetation will be monitored and the details of each tr...

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: Dallimore, Scott R
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2002 1998
Summary: Field activities for this project will be covered under various permits being applied for the engineering operations. The Mallik site will be accessed by ice roads from Inuvik. The Mallik wells will be drilled by the Akita 15 rig (local northern company). We expect up to 60 scientists (and 40 operations staff) to be on site at the height of the program. Scientists will be housed in facilities of ...

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: Nadji, Kayhan
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The Researcher will continue to investigate the relationship between the architectural and technical aspects of buildings and severe northern climate....

Principal Investigator: Bisgaard, Inngi
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher will continue to study urban planning in arctic areas. This field season investigation will include how people use outdoor spaces in relation to weather, destinations and playgrounds....

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: Strickland, John I.
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Research Team will install digital radio repeaters at several sites, monitor the signal strength; measure the accuracy of data transmission over the link and establish the feasibility of the prototype design....

Principal Investigator: Erickson, Dave
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher and his team will carry out a project to improve water flow studies, channel dredging, mapping and local construction surveys....
