Objective(s): To conduct regional bedrock mapping and supporting analytical work to improve our understanding of the tectonic framework of the Hill Island Lake area in the southeastern Northwest Territories.
Project Description: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5541. Objectives: To conduct regional bedrock mapping and supporting analytical work to improve our understanding of the tectonic framework of the Hill Island Lake area in the southeastern Northwest Territories. A total of 7 weeks will be spent in the field, from June 28, 2023 until August 15, 2023, in four different camps. Float planes will be used for camp moves and inflatable zodiac boats will be used to access areas of interest from camp. For eleven days, we will have a helicopter in camp that will allow us to work at sites that cannot be reached in one workday by boat and walking. The team will examine rocks along shorelines and conduct foot traverses inland. Observations (e.g., rock lithology, structural measurement, alteration type) will be recorded in handheld devices and fist-size samples of rock will be collected for laboratory analys... Show more
