Principal Investigator: Davison, Julia
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: This licence was issued for the application # 831. The objective of this study is to improve the detail on publicly-available maps and look at unanswered geological questions about Cretaceous rocks in the Sahtu region. Geological tools have changed sufficiently since the previous maps were made to warrant another more detail-focused study. The aim of the field work is to make measurements and c...

Principal Investigator: Rempel, Laura L
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005
Summary: This project will characterize sediment transport processes, including bed scour and fine sediment deposition, in a sub-arctic stream intersected by the proposed Mackenzie Gas Pipeline. The study will meet five objectives: to characterize bed sediment texture; determine bed and suspended sediment transport rates during spring flooding; measure depth of bed scour during spring flooding; measure ne...

Principal Investigator: Pratt, Brian R.
Licensed Year(s): 2012 2002 2000 1998
Summary: The researcher will study half a billion year old rocks in the Mackenzie Mountains, chartering a helicopter from Watson Lake to install and move light-weight camps and bring back samples. The strata of interest are exposed on mountain sides in remote are...

Principal Investigator: Coulombe-Pontbriand, Moise
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: The study will attempt to reconstruct the past 10,000 year geomorphological and hydrological history of the Mackenzie River using sedimentological records of fluvial deposits. The researcher will travel by Zodiac boat from Jean-Marie River to Point Separ...

Principal Investigator: Hoffman, Paul
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The research team will be based out of Norman Wells, and establish a series of fly camps in the research area between 1 July and 10 August. Travel to fly camps will be by helicopter; travel in the field will be on foot. Fly camps will be low impact, and will be occupied for less than 14 days. All human waste will be buried, and all non-burnable garbage will be packed out. Stratigraphic sections...

Principal Investigator: Narbonne, Guy
Licensed Year(s): 2001 1999 1998 1996 1994 1992 1991 1989 1988
Summary: The research team will be flown from Norman Wells to the base camp near Shale Lake by helicopter. The camp will consist of one sleeping tent and one cooking tent. The research team will walk to several rock sections with 3 km of the base camp. Data collection will consist of measuring rocks with a ruler, taking photographs, and collecting up to 50 small (fist-sized) pieces with a hammer. The r...

Principal Investigator: Long, Darrel G.F.
Licensed Year(s): 1997
Summary: During the summer of 1997, the researchers will visit several cliff exposures of sandstone in the Mackenzie Mountains in the Carcajou Canyon (NTS 96D) and Wrigley Lake (NTS 95M) map areas, south of Norman Wells and west of Tulita, in order to obtain information on the shape of structures preserved in sandstones deposited by ancient rivers. By determining the geometry of these sandstone bodies it ...

Principal Investigator: MacNaughton, Robert B.
Licensed Year(s): 1998 1997
Summary: Members of a field party will be transported to base camp by helicopter. Base-camp moves will also be done by helicopter. All ground work will be done on foot. Data collection involves photography of rock outcrops, measurement of stratigraphic sections using a Jacob's staff (measuring pole), and the following of key stratigraphic surfaces. Collection of rock samples is either from free-lying fl...

Principal Investigator: Jette, Helene
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1993 1992
Summary: The Researchers will collect sediment core samples from up to six lakes. They will be taken to a laboratory where palynological and diatom studies will be conducted....

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....
