Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5098. The research team would like to know the age of each formation of the Nonacho sedimentary rocks. Is the oldest formation a lot older than the youngest, or only a bit older? The team would like to know more about the sources of the Nonacho sediments. What types of bedrock were eroded to make those sediments? Did rivers...

Summary: The Researchers will use ground penetrating radar to conduct surveys on the surface of the delta plains. The radar waves are similar to FM radio waves in their frequency. Measurements wll be taken every 1 - 2 meters in the sample area by placing fiberglass boards on the surface....

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: 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....
