NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Moser, Katrina
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher will collect samples of sediment and water from small lakes along Highways 5 and 6 between Fort Smith and Hay River. She will be identifying different species of diatoms (small organisms that live in the water) and conducting a number of chemical analyses on the water. Additional data will be collected on the timing of the most recent fire as well as the area's geology and plant c...

Principal Investigator: Johnstone, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The researcher and his team will traverse throughout the map area examining bedrock exposures and sampling. Observations may help construct a geological map showing lithology, structure and mineral occurences. Rock samples will be collected for geochemical and petrological analysis. The results of the survey will be presented in the form of poster displays, talks, reports and a map for distribu...

Principal Investigator: Hanmer, Simon
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The Snowbird tectonic zone is a 3000 km long linear feature fisible in the gravity map of the Canadian Shield. Based on past research the hypothesis that high temperature rocks must plunge to great depths somewhere between Lakes Athabasca and Baker will be tested. tested....

Principal Investigator: Bellow, Jonathan
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researchers will continue analysis of rocks from ancient reefs in the Hay River area....

Principal Investigator: Lemmen, Donald
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researchers will collect small samples of surficial materials for sedimentological, geochemical and paleoecological analysis. They will map, describe and explain the unconsolidated deposits, landforms, permafrost and organic cover and study patterns of glacial dispersal and drift geochemistry....

Principal Investigator: Lambert, R. St. J.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To undertake a field study and reconnaissance of the Canadian Shield in the area. Particular emphasis will be given to age analysis of these rocks. The study has practical application in relation to the origin and distribution of uranium deposits....

Principal Investigator: Hollinshead, G.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To conduct a study of the rates of sedimentaiton in the Liard and Mackenzie rivers. The sedimentation rate will be corelated to the types of vegetation in the study areas....

Principal Investigator: Burwash, R.A.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To conduct a geological mapping program and collect rock specimens for subsequent laboratory analysis....

Principal Investigator: Gill, D.
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: Deltaic geomorphology and fluvial environments will be mapped and studied, sedimentation studies will be done and samples taken for laboratory analysis. Vegetation will be mapped and categorized as to terrestrial, wetland and aquatic. Small mammal trapping, to determine species composition and their use of various vegetation types. Similar field observations will be made on the habitats of delt...

Principal Investigator: Baadsgaard, H.
Licensed Year(s): 1975
Summary: To collect geological specimens and carry out field observations....
