Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: This project has been initiated as a first step in selecting a pipeline route between the M18 gas discovery and Parsons Lake. While construction of a pipeline from M18 to Parsons Lake will not occur for several years, the LiDAR project will allow Devon t...

Principal Investigator: Moore, Steve M
Licensed Year(s): 2002 2001 2000
Summary: A researcher team will travel by boats from Deline to Sahyoue Peninsula and spend 4 days collecting baseline information on wildlife and ecosystem units. Twenty sites will be assessed and classified to ecosystem type. For each site, vegetation and wildli...

Summary: The BC Terrestrial Ecosystem Mapping inventory standard will be used to provide a uniform method of describing vegetation, soil and terrain based on air photo interpretation and field data collection. The sampling sites will be located on Crown Land contained within a 1 km corridor with 'bulges' in areas of special concern such as river crossings. Surveying sites accessed by helicopter, boat, veh...

Summary: The project team will be based in Ft. Liard, and travel in the field by Deh Cho Helicopters. The itinerary of the field is weather dependant. The duration of the proposed field studies will be from 10 August-26 August, 2001. Rock samples (fist sized) will be collected, and returned to the laboratory for detailed chemical analysis. Structural mapping will be traced on aerial photos and transferre...

Licensed Year(s): 1997
Summary: Vegetation communities along the pipeline route and over other parts of the Project area would be provisionally mapped from aerial photographs. A field survey would be undertaken with an emphasis on identifying rare plants. The study area is in the Caribou Hills IBP site 4-9, which was in part proposed because of its rare flora. July is an optimum time for a single survey. Also transect sampling ...

Summary: The researcher and his team will use a special instrument to transfer the channel position at a given location from an aerial photograph to a base map. Repeating this exercise for different aged aerial photographs of the same site reveals the progressive change in the channel position. These maps will show exactly where the channel change is occurring and will allow the rates of movement to be m...
