Land Management Problems in Hydrocarbon Development Areas with Ice-Rich Permafrost: Detection and Assessment
Principal Investigator: Pollard, Wayne H
Licensed Year(s): 2010 2009
Summary: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application no. 946. The objective of this research is to better understand the distribution of underground ice in hydrocarbon development areas. By identifying how much ice there is, the researcher wants to study how oil/gas activities and climate change could affect the land. Underground ice is one of the most unpredictable and problema...


Massive Ice Study in Granular Deposits
Principal Investigator: Pollard, Wayne H
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005 2004 2003
Summary: Sand, gravel and crushed stone are valuable geological resources, collectively known as aggregates. They are essential bed, foundation and building materials. The presence of massive ice in aggregate deposits results in a series of resource management problems, particularly for the oil industry and its contractors who rely on local granular deposits as building material. From an environmental pers...


Examination of selected Kamik formation outcroppings in the Richardson Mountains
Principal Investigator: Prost, Gary
Licensed Year(s): 2004 2002
Summary: The general purpose of the trip is to examine sites where the Kamik formation is at the surface and to collect rock samples. The site visits are important to work relating to the development of Conoco's interest at Parsons Lake in the Inuvialuiit Settlem...


Testing of Surface Geophysical Techniques for the Detection of Ice-bonded Permafrost
Principal Investigator: Good, Ron
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: This research is part of an ongoing program to develop geophysical standards for pipeline route surveying. This line has been chosen because past shallow drilling programs on this line have provided us with a great deal of ground truth, geology, temperat...


Permafrost investigations in western arctic Canada
Principal Investigator: Burn, Chris R
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998
Summary: Changes in the ground due to uplift, associated with the growth of a pingo, and sideways movements due to the growth of ice wedges, will be measured. Air, ground, and lake water temperatures will be measured, in order to find out how the ground is responding to climatic variation. The reseach team will also return to Paulatuk, to continue studies Dr. Mackay began there 50 years ago. Travel to s...


Geotechnical Properties/Electrical Methods Development
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....
