Neoproterozoic stratigraphy, Mackenzie Mountains
Principal Investigator: Turner, Elizabeth C
Licensed Year(s): 2019 2018 2017
Summary: This continuing research addresses the history of Earth-surface environments between about 1 billion and 700 million years ago. The objective for 2019 is to obtain field measurements and samples. A base-camp of two people will be deployed by helicopter, and all work done on foot. Working on mountainside rock exposures, the research team will collect fist-sized samples for later geochemical anal...

Stratigraphy of the Misty Creek Embayment
Principal Investigator: Turner, Elizabeth C
Licensed Year(s): 2013 2012
Summary: This is a Masters of Science research project aimed at understanding the geological evolution of a deep-marine environment that existed in the northern Mackenzie Mountains between 500 and 450 million years ago. The project team will establish small 2-3 person camps on or near a mountainside where we already know, based on previous work, that the rocks they are interested in will be exposed. Eac...

Geology of the Hornby Bay Basin
Principal Investigator: Rainbird, Robert H
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: This study aims to describe the formation of a very large depression that covered most of north-western Canada 1.7 billion-years ago. This will be helpful to understand the geological evolution of the Canadian Shield, and ultimately, how Earth formed, how it changed through time and how it will evolve in the future. The researchers will be using transportation (helicopter and fixed wing aircr...

Examination and Dating of 4.0-2.9 Billion Year Old Rocks in the Slave and Wopmay Geological Provinces of the Canadian Shield
Principal Investigator: Ketchum, John
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: During the proposed study, transportation of the research team to the field will be by fixed-wing float plane from Yellowknife. From the base camp at Grant Lake, the research team will examine the study area immediately to the east on foot and by inflatable boat. Rock samples up to 20 kg (45 lbs) will be collected for age dating. It is anticipated that only 4-5 samples will be collected for dating...
