Objective(s): To continue characterization of three of the larger gas seeps observed and reported by the National Energy Board, GSC and Inuvialuit; and the Identification of additional seeps in the region through aerial surveys, regional studies of geology and gas release on Richards Island and Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula.
Project Description: Field research for 2010 will concentrate on two tasks: 1) Continued characterization of three of the larger gas seeps observed and reported by the National Energy Board, GSC and Inuvialuit; 2) Identification of additional seeps in the region through aerial surveys, regional studies of geology and gas release on Richards Island and Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula. The researcher will characterize water geochemistry, through collection of samples for subsequent laboratory analysis for comparison with previous results. Measurements of gas discharge will be completed using portable/hand-held flow measurement devices for comparison with previous results to evaluate possible changes in gas flow rates. Possible methane anomalies will be identified through direct temperature measurement and/or remote sensing techniques. Local/regional geology will be assessed to identify the geologic origins of these active gas flows. Non-invasi... Show more
