Principal Investigator: Edinger, Evan N
Licensed Year(s): 2001 2000
Summary: The research team will examine the detailed structure, sedimentology and paleoecology of reefs in Mercy Bay. Transportation by fixed-wing aircraft to Polar Bear cabin near Castel Bay will be followed by helicopter transport to various field sites (East Branch Mercy River; Lower Mercy River; Southern Patch reefs; Princess Royal Islands; Hay Point, Victoria Island; Gordon Point, Victoria Island). ...

Principal Investigator: Dixon, James
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1994 1993 1992 1991
Summary: Specific sites will be visited using daily helicopter flights based out of Inuvik. Site visits will last from 15 minutes to several hours and at each site the rocks will be identified and described, the vertical arrangements of rocks will be measured and noted, and samples (about fist-sized) will be taken where deemed necessary. Samples will be taken to Calgary where they will be used either to ...

Principal Investigator: Dallimore, Scott R
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1993 1992 1992 1991
Summary: A transect consisting of geotechnical boreholes and detailed geophysical studies will document the geological, geothermal and geotechnical conditions of perennially frozen sediments at three sites on Richards Island in the Mackenzie Delta....

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: Hequette, Arnaud
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The Researcher and team will conduct cliff and beach surveys to measure change in the shoreline position. They will also survey shallow lagoon and nearshore zones in the area of Drift Point and Atkinson Point. Seafloor sediment samples will be collected using a grap sampler and a portable piston corer....

Principal Investigator: Vincent, Jean-Serge
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: 1. Sections along rivers and the coast will be examined to determine the nature of the sediments and their fossil content. 2. Sites on the mainland, sections on northwestern Banks Island, Sachs Harbour (Duck Hawk Bluffs) and Worth Point area will be visited and similar investigations undertaken....

Principal Investigator: Blasco, Steve M
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The amphibious vehicle will be mounted with an echosounder, sidescan sonar, subbottom and seismic profiling equipment to run a test survey along the coast of the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula. The CCGS NAHIDIK will tow a sidescan sonar system over the seafloor to rerun track lines surveyed in previous years to allow for the detection and measurement of the characteristics of new scours on the seafloor of ...

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....
