Soil Climates of the Mackenzie Valley
Principal Investigator: Tarnocai, Charles
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: Soil (at seven depths) and air temperature data are recorded by data loggers. These loggers are programmed to collect data every 3 hours on the hour. The sites are visited twice a year to reprogram the loggers. In addition, active layer depth and subsidence are also recorded during the fall visit. Researchers will collect this data in order to determine the effect of climate change on the envi...


Contemporary channel characteristics and behaviour along the lower reaches of major tributaries of the Mackenzie River (from Norman Wells to the Mackenzie Delta)
Principal Investigator: Brooks, Greg
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The research will provide basic information on the characteristics of the rivers and valleys that are major tributaries emptying into the Mackenzie River. The tributaries to be studied include the Carcajou, Mountain, Hume, Ramparts, Hare Indian, Ontaratue, Arctic Red and Peel Rivers. Little is known about the lower 5-7 km portion of these rivers. The information collected will include both aeri...


NWT Fieldwork 1992
Principal Investigator: Wielens, Hans
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher will look at several outcropping rock formations that are accessible in the NWT. The potential for hydrocarbon generation and storage of these rocks will be the main focus of the work....


Palsa Evolution in Alpine Tundra (PEAT)
Principal Investigator: Kershaw, G. Peter
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher and his team will determine the current status and contemporary characteristics of palsas (frozen peat mounds), and their environments within this mountainous study area. As well, they will quanititatively describe the processes affecting the evolution of these periglacial features and the potential changes in the status of these and related forms under global change models....


Reconstruction of Holocene Environments
Principal Investigator: Begin, Christian
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The research team will investigate a few localities to determine the best sites to study eolian deposits (sand dunes) and features related to permafrost degradation. Samples of granular and organic deposits will be taken....


Hydrogeologic Investigations of Carbon Dioxide Rich Groundwaters in the Flat River Valley Region, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: Hamilton, Stewart M.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The team will investigate the hydrogeology, hydrogeochemistry and geology of the region and attempt to determine the cause and extent of carbon dioxide rich springs in the Flat River Valley region. They will also determine if a fault exists in the valley and if the springs delineate an active seismic zone....


Paleosol Evolution, Correlation and Associated Mineralization, Thelon and Hornby Bay Basins, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: Gall, Quentin
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The researcher will collect and document rock samples of the paleosol (ancient soil) developed beneath the sedimentary rocks of the 1.7 billion year old Hornby Bay Basin....
