Principal Investigator: Stepney, Jessica
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5051. This project will collect additional environmental and geotechnical samples to complete the remedial design. The former Stark Lake Uranium Exploration site has undergone multiple investigations over the years, and a data gap analysis has indicated that there is additional information required to complete the remedial ...

Principal Investigator: Dyck, Brendan
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4723. The main object of this research project is to determine the strength of Earth's lower crust and how this portion of the crust responds to tectonic forces. Two weeks of fieldwork will be carried out at the Great Slave Lake Shear Zone to acquire the appropriate samples to explore stress across a fault zone. The majo...

Licensed Year(s): 2021 2020 2019 2018
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4949. This project will examine sedimentary and volcanic rocks that were deposited on an old craton, in a basin that formed during the collision of two cratons. The research team aim to document which cratons were responsible for the basin’s formation and at what time they collided. The team will spend 20 days in the fie...

Principal Investigator: Pacholski, Laura J
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4886. The main objectives of the field work for 2021 will be to determine if the Ekati Diamond Mine is having an effect on the surrounding aquatic environment, wildlife, and air quality; and to provide baseline data for areas where mine development may occur in the future. In winter, water samples will be collected unde...
