Principal Investigator: Uren, Shane
Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: The Expansion Project proposes to supply power to the Snap Lake, Gahcho Kue, Diavik and EKATI mine sites by expanding the existing infrastructure at the facilities on the Taltson River at Twin Gorges and at Nonacho Lake. Studies characterizing baseline e...

Principal Investigator: English, Michael C
Licensed Year(s): 2000 1996 1995
Summary: The field crew will live on the delta for approximately 8-9 weeks at a site established by the principal investigator in 1997 on Steamboat Channel. Transportation will be by boat. Three channels will be studied in detail. At each study site the researchers will measure the speed of the flow using an electronic velocity meter, measure the cross sectional profile of the channel with tape and rod ...

Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1994
Summary: The researchers will collect samples of sediments from the bottom of Great Slave Lake at sites near Fort Resolution and Lutsel K'e. This data will allow a better understanding of how fast sediments are deposited on the lake bottom in various regions. Researchers will also collect invertebrates and fish samples as part of an overall study of contaminants in the lake's ecosystem....

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: Jol, Harry M.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: Surveys will be conducted on the surface of the delta plains. A Pulse Ekko IV ground penetrating radar system will be used to take measurements every 1 to 2 metres using this portable system. These waves due to their frequency (50 to 200 MHz) have no affect on the environment (they are similar to FM radio waves)....

Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The Researchers will collect a series of sediment and water samples. These will be analyzed for plant nutrients, concentration of microscopic plant cells, bacteria, suspended solids, dissolved oxygen and organic contaminants. Microscopic animals will also be netted. They will determine the abundance and composition of the animals and conduct experiments to measure their feeding rates and fat cont...

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: Burwash, R.A.
Licensed Year(s): 1975
Summary: (1) Study of linear belts with respect to uranium and thorium. (2) Study of sedimentary cover and basement contacts....
