Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5547. This research project proposes to examine the geological characteristics of Cretaceous (~78-88 Ma) metal-rich Smoking Hills Formation mudstones (black shale) and understand the mechanisms by which these metal-rich deposits formed, their extents and stratigraphic variability, and the release of dissolved metals into su...

Summary: The Geological Survey of Canada, as part of its on-going research activities, is planning to carry out a geotechnical survey in order to improve certain techniques used in investigating permafrost and ground ice characteristics. The techniques used are shear wave seismic reflection profiling (to determine soil properties) and drilling (to determine the origin of massive ground ice bodies in the v...

Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To complete a three year study concerned with the detailed investigation of ground ice characteristics by mapping ground ice distribution and stratigraphic relations along with collection of sediment and ice samples for grain, size, moisture content, isotope and crystallographic analysis. Field investigation will utilize existing ground ice slumps and permafrost exposures along coastal bluffs in ...
