Principal Investigator: Knox, Bernadette
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5525. The objective of this work is to update and increase the understanding of the geological history of this area of the north-central Slave craton, Northwest Territories. This work will be conducted mostly on foot with access along the water provided by canoe and zodiac boat. The research team will be walking the lan...

Principal Investigator: Kjarsgaard, Bruce
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992
Summary: This will be the final field season of this bedrock mapping project, which is being done to update geological knowledge in the Lac de Gras area (which was last mapped in the 1940s). Detailed mapping, geochemical and geochronologcical studies will be used to help understand the geological evolution of this area. Mapping will be accomplished by foot and boat traverse with fixed and rotany wing sup...

Principal Investigator: Hrabi, Blair
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: This will be the final summer of field work for this project. The detailed mapping data in combination with geochemistry will enable the researcher to gie a detailed geological history of the area, including timing of certain geological events (age of volcanism and granite plutons) as well as a deformational history....

Principal Investigator: Pehrsson, Sally J
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1995 1994
Summary: This will be the final summer of field work for this project The detailed mapping data in combination with the geochemical sampling will enable the researcher to give a detailed geological history of the area, including the timing of certain geological events (age of volcanism and granite plutons) as well as a deformational history....

Principal Investigator: Henderson, J.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: This year's field work will complete the geological mapping exercise that was started in 1992. The researcher will document, measure and collect various types of rocks found in the area in order to determine the distribution of the various rock types and to under- stand how they originally formed. Most of these rocks are among the oldest known in Canada, with some being over 2.5 billion years ol...

Principal Investigator: Johnstone, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The researcher and his team will traverse throughout the map area examining bedrock exposures and sampling. Observations may help construct a geological map showing lithology, structure and mineral occurences. Rock samples will be collected for geochemical and petrological analysis. The results of the survey will be presented in the form of poster displays, talks, reports and a map for distribu...

Principal Investigator: King, Janet E.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: Mapping of bedrock and surfical geology will be conducted in numerous parts of the geologic Slave Province. Specific studies of the bedrock, such as its stratigraphy, the nature of the granitic rocks, how the rocks deformed and metamorphosed, and isotopic dating will provide insight on the geologic evolution of this part (Slave Province) of the Canadian Sheild....
