Summary: The objective of this research project is to further the knowledge of the geology of the Redstone Copperbelt - an area of copper deposits within the Mackenzie Mountains. This will lead to a clearer understanding of the science behind the formation of copper deposits. This information can be utilized by environmental and exploration companies to provide baseline data on the distribution of copper ...

Summary: The objectives of the Great Bear/IOCG geoscience research and mapping project are to: • develop a modern geological, crustal architecture and exploration framework for polymetallic iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) deposit-type mineralizing systems in the Great Bear magmatic zone and new exploration methods for IOCG deposits in glaciated terrains; • validate deposit-type model for known mineral occu...

Summary: Devon Canada’s Sahtu Gravity Survey, 2006 has been designed in an effort to prioritize the seismic data acquisition (seismic lines) for a joint Talisman-Devon seismic program proposed within the project area during the winter of 2006-07. The gravity survey is a reconnaissance tool that allows geophysical data to be acquired over a large area in a short amount of time, and upon processing and inte...

Summary: The goal of this project is to compile updated baseline information/knowledge on the types, regional distribution, and controls (e.g. forests fires, climate change) of landslides. The main objectives of the field reconnaissance at landslide sites are six-fold: 1) to validate previous data collected through air photo interpretation and remote sensing techniques; 2) to carry out detailed mapping at ...

Summary: An Airborne Aeromagnetic Survey will be carried out to improve public knowledge and understanding of the geology of the Colville Lake area, where no publically available magnetic coverage exists. Aircraft equipped with state of the art magnetometer and navigation systems including global positioning systems (GPS) will fly lines at a spacing of 800 m and a 200 m mean terrain clearance (where posssi...

Summary: The researcher will map the configuration of peat deposits and permafrost within them using geophysical surveys (ground penetrating radar and EM-31). This will involve setting out a traverse line on foot using measuring tape and flagging tape, taking measurements along the traverse line with hand-held equipment and measuring the depth of peat using a probe. The researcher will drive or fly out ...

Summary: The researcher and his team will use a special instrument to transfer the channel position at a given location from an aerial photograph to a base map. Repeating this exercise for different aged aerial photographs of the same site reveals the progressive change in the channel position. These maps will show exactly where the channel change is occurring and will allow the rates of movement to be m...

Principal Investigator: Lockhart, W.L.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The researcher and his team will engage in a bathymetric survey to map the contours of the bottom of Lac Belot, as well as determine the distribution of fish in the lake. Several soil samples will be collected to determine the amount of atmospheric dust fallout. As well, tissue samples from 6 lake trout and 6 ground squirrels are to be collected to compare some aspects of their biochemistry with ...
