Summary: The objective of the project is to better understand the geology of the region through collection and analysis of rock specimens and regional geological mapping. This year the researchers would like to collect hand specimens of rocks for future studies and to look for areas where more detailed studies can be done in the future. Understanding the geology will help geologists map the area, assist m...

Summary: The objectives of the study are to: characterize gas hydrates at Mallik using state-of-the-art well log data; collect high-quality core samples for measurement of gas hydrate production parameters (e.g. hydraulic permeability, thermal conductivity, pore water geochemistry); conduct ground temperature monitoring to depths of greater than 1 km to evaluate gas hydrate stability; integrate data to bet...

Principal Investigator: Bellefleur, Gilles
Licensed Year(s): 2006
Summary: The Mackenzie River Delta hosts several accumulations of gas hydrates, a possible energy resource present in the form of an ice-like crystalline solid composed of water molecules surrounding natural gas. The Niglintgak and Mallik sites have been the subjects of several research programs, some of which included successful drilling of gas hydrate layers between 900m and 1100m depths. This project is...

Principal Investigator: Scotter, George
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and team will carry out this survey at the request of the community of Paulatuk. They will summarize the existing knowledge of the natural resources of the Bluenose Lake Region. A total of about 20 stops will be made to examine the vegetation, soil, wildlife and physiogeography and to collect plant and soil samples....
