NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Butterfield, Nicholas J
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1994
Summary: Field work will entail the measuring and description of sedimentary sections, and the collection of samples of fossils (perhaps 100 1kg samples). The samples will be processed using various laboratory procedures. All fossils will eventually be deposited in the Geological Survey of Canada catalogued collection. The researchers will be a two-man camp and traveling light (two tents and basic gear...

Principal Investigator: Turner, Elizabeth C
Licensed Year(s): 2001 1999 1998 1996 1994 1992 1991 1989 1988
Summary: Two people will be transported to the field sites via helicopter from Norman Wells. All ground work is done on foot. Data collection involves photography of rock outcrops, measurement of stratigraphic sections using a tape measure, description of outcrops, and selective sampling of about 100 fist-sized rock samples using a geological hammer....

Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Glen M
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1990
Summary: Dr. Glen MacDonald and his team will collect lake sediment core samples from 3 or 4 small lakes in the Mackenzie Mountains, adjacent to the Canol Road for the purpose of fossil pollen and macrofossil analysis. The area will be revisited in July to conduct surveys of vegetation at and around the treeline....
