Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Alan R
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5217. The objective of the fieldwork is to collect geotechnical and geophysical data to further advance the Inuvialuit Energy Security Project (IESP). The engineering design for the IESP Energy Facility has advanced to the point of identifying two preferred locations for the Energy Facility. Both locations are within the pr...

Principal Investigator: Wang, Baolin
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008 2007 2006
Summary: The objective of this field work is to better understand the movement behaviour of the landslides in the region. The Geological Survey of Canada’s research group lead by Dr. Baolin Wang has been conducting landslide research in the region since 2004. This is the final year of the project. The previous permits have expired. However, there is a need to make a follow up trip to the various landsli...

Principal Investigator: Seligman, Ben
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006
Summary: The proposed fieldwork is an expansion of previous years' fieldwork to develop a suitable knowledge base for planning and development. In addition, some routine maintenance at Camp Farewell will be conducted. The majority of the proposed work is planned for the Niglintgak area and is focused around the Gas Conditioning Facility (GCF) and the Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) crossing site, as ...

Principal Investigator: Graburn, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: This program will investigate five potential sources of granular materials and subsurface drilling at the proposed Storm Hills Pigging Facility. It is estimated that the program will require up to 90 days to complete. Up to 45 persons are expected to wor...

Principal Investigator: Graburn, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: This research forms part of an aerial reconnaissance program to observe the characteristic break-up patterns at selected watercourse crossings along the proposed pipeline right-of-way from the Deh Cho region in the south to the Inuvialuit Settlement Regi...

Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004 2003 2002
Summary: Route and site selection flights will be used to: (1) determine the location for a potential natural gas pipeline route and associated developments through the Inuvialuit Settlement Area; (2) visually inspect and confirm land forms and geotechnical features; (3) identify land features that may be important to the location or construction of a potential gas pipeline; and (4) determine the locatio...

Principal Investigator: Kiss, Frank
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999
Summary: The purpose of this study is to improve the public knowledge and understanding of the geology of this area, as no publicly available magnetic survey coverage exists. This survey is entirely airborne, with no land access. The aircraft will be equipped with a state of the art magnetometer and navigation systems, including Global Positioning System (GPS). The aircraft will be operating from existing ...

Principal Investigator: Good, Ron
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1993 1992 1992 1991
Summary: The researcher will conduct a geotechnical survey of the area. Components of this survey will include shallow geological drilling, geophysical downholde logging, geophysical electrical sounding and a snow depth transect. A crew will transverse the area by foot and skidoo....

Principal Investigator: Dallimore, S.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1989
Summary: Mr. Dallimore and his team intend to re-visit instrumented test-sites, complete mapping of surficial materials and to collect limited soil samples for analyses....
