Principal Investigator: Kamal, Darius
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5589. This project aims to map the regional structural geometry surrounding the Howard's Pass district to examine the effects of reactivated basement structures and Cordilleran deformation on Zn-Pb ore bodies. The project research is primarily field based involving detailed geologic mapping on foot. Small samples will be c...

Principal Investigator: Reynolds, Merilie A
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5578. To investigate the geological processes that formed the Prairie Creek zinc-lead-silver(-germanium) deposit. The goal is to better understand the environment of the ancient ocean where the rocks originally formed, the mountain-building processes that later deformed those rocks, and the nature of metal-bearing fluids th...

Principal Investigator: Carnochan, Stacey
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5579. The proposed fieldwork will inform the baseline setting of the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) Application amendment on while also aiding in the development of feasible mitigation measures that will reduce potential effects that the Project may have on aquatic environments, wetlands, wildlife, and vegetation. As well, t...

Principal Investigator: Fix, Andreas
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5211. This project will use aircraft-based instruments using both remote-sensing and in-situ-techniques to carry out measurements of methane and carbon trace gases and tracers related to their emissions. The results will help to better understand the global methane and carbon cycle. This mission makes use of the German r...

Principal Investigator: Menounos, Brian p
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5303. The primary objective of this study is to date the formation of end moraines in the Northwest Territories using methods of Terrestrial Cosmogenic Nuclide (TCN) dating to develop a chronology of glacier change in this region. This chronology will be used to assess glacial response to Holocene climate with aims to eluci...

Principal Investigator: Somers, Gila L
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4762. Water Quality Monitoring equipment is deployed at over 40 sites across the NWT to address community concerns. Community members were trained to use the following equipment: • Sondes: sit in the water and measure basic water quality parameters every 2 hours for up to 3 months. Analysis undertaken at Environment and...

Principal Investigator: Gregory, Daniel David
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5188. The research team will conduct geological mapping on the Van property. This will include stratigraphic rock sampling above and below the known vanadium rich mineralization and possible rock sampling in areas of the property of geological interest. Geologic mapping is conducted by visually inspecting surface exposur...

Principal Investigator: Smith, Sharon S
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5181. The combined temperature and active layer monitoring network extends from Fort Simpson to the Arctic Coast. With monitoring instrumentation already in place through work under previous licenses, the main work of this phase will be data collection. While different parts of the network can be visited at different times ...

Principal Investigator: Kamal, Darius
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4979. The goal of this project is to map the regional structural geometry outside of the Howard's Pass district to integrate the timing and geometry of deformation into the interpretation at Howard's Pass and how Cretaceous deformation as affected the Zn-Pb ore bodies and the surrounding region. The March Fault structure wa...

Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4987. The proposed Fieldwork will inform the baseline setting of the environmental site assessment (ESA), while also aiding in the development of feasible mitigation measures that will reduce potential effects that the Project may have on wetlands, wildlife, and vegetation. As well, the fieldwork reconnaissance will provide...
