Summary: The objective of this study is to improve the knowledge of physical conditions in the western Arctic coastal zone in order to help understand and reduce the impacts of natural changes and industrial or community development. Research will occur from March through to August. Acoustic surveys will be undertaken during the months of June and August, before and after whaling season, most using low...

Summary: Several environmental and engineering studies were conducted between 2001 and 2006 to assess a proposed pipeline in the Mackenzie Valley. These studies will continue in 2007 and 2008. Route and site reconnaissance will be by helicopter, and crews will land at selected sites based on observations made during the flight. Reconnaissance surveys of road-water crossings will be performed. Pipeline-...

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 ...

Summary: Shell Canada Limited will be surveying the river bottom to see if it is practical to use a barge-mounted gas conditioning facility at the Niglintgak Gas Field in the Mackenzie Delta. The researchers will do a bathymetric survey to identify locations that are not wide enough and/or deep enough for barge passage. Bathymetry is the science of measuring water depths and showing the variations in dep...
