Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5572. The objective of this field season is to gather more information on the depositional history of the Sosan Group. This will be accomplished through field observations, such as noting sedimentary structures and measuring detailed stratigraphic sections. This will help determine what processes deposited the sediment...

Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5541. Objectives: To conduct regional bedrock mapping and supporting analytical work to improve our understanding of the tectonic framework of the Hill Island Lake area in the southeastern Northwest Territories. A total of 7 weeks will be spent in the field, from June 28, 2023 until August 15, 2023, in four different c...

Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5175. The main research objective of this project is to conduct targeted bedrock mapping and supporting analytical work to improve our understanding of the tectonic framework of the East Arm basin. The research team aims to document the timing of crystallization and metamorphism of the basement rocks onto which the East Arm...

Summary: Collect airborne laser scanning data over biomass plots over NWT. Specifically to develop biomass and forest resource models for GNWT multi source inventory, and to assess how the resource is changing through time and in space due to climate and fire influences. Airborne laser data coverage is calibrated by field plot data (most provided by GNWT) and models are created which are then upscaled t...

Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: The mapping team (5-6 researchers) will be flown out by floatplane from Yellowknife in early June and a camp will be established. Island campsites are preferred as a deterrent against bear encounters. With the aid of zodiac-style inflatable boats, the re...

Principal Investigator:
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002
Summary: The purpose of this study (2003 component) is to examine the fossilized types of corals that are found in the regional geological formations. Locally these corals coalesced to form mini-reefs, with interesting ecological characteristics. From the study...
