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: Kerr, Daniel E.
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher will be conducting geological field work in the region defined by the NTS Winter Lake Map (No. 86A). The work will involve surveying the land features and collecting samples of the rock and sediments in order that this information can be summarized on a geological map....

Principal Investigator: Ward, Brent
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher will survey by helicopter and on foot the areas of Lac de Gras and Aylmer Lake in order to investigate the distribution and nature of surface rocks and sediments. This data will be used to create geological maps of the areas as well as to check the accuracy of a preliminary map that was made based on air photo data. As well, samples of rock will be taken for chemical analyses in a...

Principal Investigator: Johnstone, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The field work involves the inspection of bedrock exposures to document the types, mineralization and structure of the rocks found in this area. Rock samples are taken for microscopic and chemical analyses in the fall....

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: 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....

Principal Investigator: Henderson, John B.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The research will collect information to produce maps which outline the distribution of various rock types, attempting to show their relationship to each other in order to understand their history, how they orignially formed and what has happened to them between then and now. This data will also assist in the search for mineral deposits in the study area....

Principal Investigator: Thompson, Peter H.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992
Summary: Using a combination of regional bedrock mapping, detailed mapping, and special studies in the fields of petrology, structural geology, geochronology, geophysics, metallogeny and surficial geology, the research will determine the origin, evolution and economic potential of part of the Slave Structural Province, Canadian Shield....
