GEM-GeoNorth Program: Smoking Hills project
Principal Investigator: Smith, Rod
Licensed Year(s): 2023
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...


Possible arctic analogues of Utopia Planitia, Mars
Principal Investigator: Soare, Richard J
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2007 2006 2005 2004
Summary: The objective of this research is to take multiple samples of the active layer of permafrost in areas where patterned ground and thermokarst are present. The data gained will assist in understanding possible cold climate processes in the northern hemisphere of Mars. In recent years, cold-climate landscapes on Earth have come to play an important role in understanding landscapes on Mars. This wo...


Surface Shear Wave Seismic Profiling and Drilling
Principal Investigator: Good, Ron
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1993 1992 1992 1991
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...


Enivronmental Studies of the Ice-Bearing Region in Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Fujino, Kazuo
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and field team will conduct a geological survey and topographic traverse survey around the massive ground ice. They will take samples for ecological study and geochemical analysis....


Licence #8010
Principal Investigator: Mackay, J.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To understand better the origin of permafrost, the ice within permafrost, and the processes that help create the present geocryologic environment....


Ground Ice in the Mackenzie Delta and Yukon Coastal Plain Area
Principal Investigator: Pollard, Wayne H
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 ...
