Principal Investigator: Boyes, Donald M.
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1994 1990
Summary: The collection of the field data is required to collaborate satellite image classifications and interpretations concerning water body measurements, plant community types and sedimentation patterns. Field measurements will include measuring ground distances and recording plant characteristics. Nothing in the field area will be destroyed or removed....

Principal Investigator: Lane, Larry S
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1991 1987
Summary: The field component of this project consists of examination of exposures of bedrock during ground surveys (on foot) at selected sites. This work will produce a geological map showing rock types, ages and positions as well as the degree to which the layers of rock have been folded or faulted during times in which mountains were formed. Licence issued for purposes of using the Inuvik Research Cent...

Principal Investigator: Staniforth, Jennifer
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: Effective wildlife management requires knowing the location, distribution and number of habitats that are important to wildlife. Within the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR), there is some information on the habitat requirements of several species but descriptions of these habitats and information about how these habitats are important to wildlife are not documented. This study, supported by th...

Principal Investigator: Dixon, James
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1994 1993 1992 1991
Summary: This ongoing study involves identifying, measuring and sampling the different types of rock found at selected sites. Most of the work will be conducted using a helicopter based out of Inuvik, with visits made to the sites on a daily basis. Temporary camps for 1-2 nights will be set up if sites require more than one day of work. The data collected will be used to develop a history of the area's ...

Principal Investigator: Gurney, Steve D.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher and his team will engage in detailed geological mapping of the various types of pingos with respect to both their genesis and current status. Geometric levelling of pingo locations will also be undertaken to ascertain the spatial, temporal, and environmental inter-relationships of pingos to such features as drained lake basins, stream channels and other pingos....

Principal Investigator: Harrison, J. Christopher
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher and his team will engage in bedrock mapping and related geological studies in order to produce 1:250 000 scale geological maps of Bathurst, Prince Patrick and Eglinton Islands....

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: Topham, David
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher and team will deploy an array to nine ARGOS drift buoys over the period of March to May. A small remote submersible equipped with upward looking sonar will be used in the operation....

Principal Investigator: Harrison, J. Christopher
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The Researcher will continue a project to define the nature of the solid earth that makes up the bedrock beneath the Arctic Islands. This involves the examination of existing maps and air-photographs, the identification of rock types in the field, the measurement of the orientation of rock layers and similar features with a surveyor's hand-held compass and the collection of small samples for addit...

Principal Investigator: Topham, David
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher and his team will map and measure sea ice in the southern Beaufort Sea. They will use nine ARGOS drift buoys and will operate a small remote submersible equipped with upward looking sonar....
