Principal Investigator: Bonny, Sandy
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004
Summary: The Flybye Springs are unique in that they precipitate a mineral called barite and are weakly radioactive. The hydrology of the springs was examined by researchers in 1979, but the deposits of barite were not, nor was the microbiology of the spring flow...

Principal Investigator: Graburn, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2004
Summary: This research is part of an aerial reconnaissance program to study spring breakup at the major watercourse crossings along the proposed pipeline right-of-way from the Deh Cho region in the south to the Inuvialuit Settlement Region in the north. The resea...

Principal Investigator: de Rham, Laurent
Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: It is known that extreme flood levels within the Mackenzie River Basin are caused by ice jamming events. Analysis of open water versus ice influenced water levels at several sites within the Mackenzie River Basin will provide further quantification of th...

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...

Principal Investigator: Nicholson, Barbara
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The Researcher will map the present distribution of boreal and subarctic wetlands in the Mackenzie River Basin. Wetland vegetation and water chemistry will be described for areas immediately surrounding permanent weather stations. The ecological relationships between climate, wetland water chemistry and wetland species distribution will be analyzed. A predictive indicator model will be built to pr...

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....

Principal Investigator: Ford, Derek C.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To study the origin of the landforms developed on the Bear Rock Formation and the modes in which water sinks into and through it to springs....

Principal Investigator: Kershaw, G. Peter
Licensed Year(s): 1989 1988 1987
Summary: To continue the study initiated in 1984 by conducting gemorphological, microclimatological, pedological, hydrological, botanical and small mammal studies on the site....

Principal Investigator: Anderson, John C.
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To conduct hydrologic studies in the Mackenzie Valley....

Principal Investigator: McLeod, Curtis
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To document fish use of shalllow side-channel areas or river margins and to estimate the effect of water level changes on fish habitat. Detailed physical data collection (water levels, velocity and sediment samples) will be undertaken, data will also be collected of fish and small invertebrate use of habitat....
