Summary: Objective 1: Build a partnership between government, communities, regulators and researchers to develop a watershed-based cumulative impact study in areas of oil and gas exploration in the Sahtu region. The Sahtu Renewable Resource Board (SRRB) can play an important coordinating role in bringing partners together and working with the communities to determine appropriate engagement in the projec...

Summary: The objective of this project is to identify geophysical anomolies that will warrant additions to exploration activity (seismic surveys). Three helicopters will be required for this project. Two Hughes 500’s will be used as longline helicopters to collect gravity data. The Hughes 500 is ideal for this longline operation as the helicopter is small and maneuverable. The third support helicopte...
