200820072006200520042003 Summary:
The objective of the seabed mapping program is to conduct a regional survey of the Beaufort shelf. Ice scouring processes, benthic habitats, abandoned artificial islands, pingo-like features, gas seeps, seafloor foundation conditions, and subsea permafrost will be investigated.
The Coast Guard vessel CCGS Nahidik will be used as the research platform to conduct offshore acoustic/sonar surveys ...
Principal Investigator:Lam, Jennifer Licensed Year(s):
2009
Summary:
The objective of this project is to establish 3 permanent research sites near the communities of Inuvik, Aklavik and Tuktoyaktuk to monitor current and future conditions of climate, permafrost, snow, ice and vegetation. These sites will be established and maintained by local researchers and will provide high school and college level students with opportunities to learn about field science. These s...

2009
Summary:
The objective of the study under this licence is to determine a general inventory of the physical features of the proposed project site, focusing primarily on the terrain and vegetation.
The Government of the Northwest Territories, Department of Transportation, Airports Division is looking to extend the length of the existing runway at its Inuvik Airport from 6,000 ft. to 9,000 ft. It is curre...
Principal Investigator:Rainbird, Robert H Licensed Year(s):
2009
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...
Principal Investigator:Miles, Warner F. Licensed Year(s):2010
2009
Summary:
The objective of this airborne survey is to acquire high-resolution aeromagnetic data. Aeromagnetic surveys measure magnetic properties of bedrock and are one of the tools used in geological mapping. The bedrock may contain mineral deposits, such as gold, copper, lead, zinc, and diamonds. Understanding the geology will help geologists map the area, assist mineral exploration activities, and pro...
Principal Investigator:Smith, Rod Licensed Year(s):
2009
Summary:
Dr. Rod Smith’s ongoing compilation of drillers’ log records from geophysical seismic exploration activities in the Mackenzie Delta and vicinity has identified approximately 214 sites where “gas” was reportedly encountered. This study proposes to revisit as many as possible of these sites that are land-based, or in near shore lake/pond environments, in order to determine which, if any, are still s...

2009
Summary:
This work is part of a larger national activity that provides the framework for an updated Canadian Gravity Standardization Network (CGSN) and will ensure that the NWT maintains a consistent gravity reference datum common with Canada. The 2009 AG field campaign will focus primarily on Northern Canada and includes measurements at 4 gravity sites within municipalities of the NWT. In terms of possibl...

2009
Summary:
This licence has being issued for the scientific research application No.1072.
The researchers will collect plant fossils from the Miocene Ballast Brook and Pliocene Beaufort Formations (Ballast Brook River), Banks Island. They will transport the specimens to Southern Adventist University, Collegedale, Tennessee, USA, for DNA processing and analysis. A final report will be submitted to Aurora...

2009
Summary:
WorleyParsons, on behalf of Imperial Oil, is planning to conduct a remote sensing pilot project through use of a fixed-wing aircraft to capture environmental information on approximately 100 former drilling sites, as well as some former staging areas, campsites, artificial islands in the Beaufort Sea and other facilities located in the Northwest Territories. The purpose of the project is to determ...

2008 Summary:
This licence is being issued for the scientific research application no. 1011.
The goals of this research are to 1) collect and identify invertebrate fossils to correctly date the rocks the historic marine reptile fossils were collected from; and 2) to collect and identify any new vertebrate fossils found, in order to improve our knowledge of the diversity and evolution of Mesozoic marine repti...
