Summary: The vegetation component of the 2002 baseline studies will focus on completion of the vegetation typing surveys. Initially, a reconnaissance flight will be required over Sahtu Private Lands along the study corridor. This flight will be used to identify...

Summary: The researcher will study half a billion year old rocks in the Mackenzie Mountains, chartering a helicopter from Watson Lake to install and move light-weight camps and bring back samples. The strata of interest are exposed on mountain sides in remote are...

Licensed Year(s): 2002 2001 2000
Summary: A researcher team will travel by boats from Deline to Sahyoue Peninsula and spend 4 days collecting baseline information on wildlife and ecosystem units. Twenty sites will be assessed and classified to ecosystem type. For each site, vegetation and wildli...

Summary: The research team proposes to collect information about fish habitat features and use on watercourse crossings located on Crown Land along the tentative pipeline corridor in the Sahtu Settlement Area. The amount of work to be completed at each watercourse crossing will be determined during the reconnaissance level survey and will largely be driven by their size and flow characteristics. Smaller ...

Summary: Transportation to and from sampling sites will be provided by helicopter. Basic camping equipment will be set up for a few days in each sampling location for sleeping and eating during sampling. All fish captured will be tagged with colored tags (floy tags) and some (2-5) with radio-tags to identify fish movement and locate spawning sites. Fish will only be sampled to collect information on dis...

Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: Golder Associates was contracted on behalf of Grey Wolf Exploration to conduct preliminary baseline studies at Grey Wolf's proposed well sites. The objective of this study is to determine the presence or absence of fish and wildlife in the vicinity of the proposed project site. A literature search for registered archaeological sites within the proposed site is also planned. Golder Associates was c...

Principal Investigator: Kah, Linda
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: Our goals will be achieved through a multidisciplinary study integrating depositional, diagenetic, and geochemical information into a single comprehensive framework. Over a single field season we will measure stratigraphic thickness of outcrops in the Dismal Lakes Group, Coppermine homocline, NWT and collect small (hand sized) samples from a wide range of different rock types that represent differ...

Licensed Year(s): 1997
Summary: Main objective is to establish baseline wildlife & fisheries habitat conditions prior to start of Ranger Oil's winter exploration drilling program. All sampling will be done over a 2-3 day period in mid-September. Three well sites are planned for drilling. Well site 1 is near Nota Creek & accessed by the Norman Wells-Tulita winter road plus an existing short cutline. Well site 2 is near Bear Rock ...

Summary: The research is planned to see what happens after the surface of the land was changed by clearing of the trees and trenching of the soil in 1985 and 1986, and the spilling of crude-oil in 1988. Ways to fix or lessen these disturbances are being tested to see which are best. Many studies will be done, including measurement of air and soil temperatures, wind speed, moisture, water movement, permaf...

Principal Investigator: De Groot, Bill
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: Plant samples will be collected in the field by the researcher after they become dormat for treatment in a lab experiment. Burning treatments will be conducted in the lab where environmental growing conditions and the plant physiological state at the time of the treatment can be better controled. This will be done in order to model the effects of fire on two types of shrubs....
