Environmental change at Duck Hawk Bluffs, SW Banks Island: from a forested to glaciated Arctic
Principal Investigator: England, John H
Licensed Year(s): 2012 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002
Summary: The research team proposes to revisit Duck Hawk Bluffs (DHB), southwest Banks Island, the “type section” for the formerly reported subsurface record. DHB offers an exceptional exposure along the north shore of Thesiger Bay, measuring 8 km long and up to 60 m high. Previous work assumed that the bluffs were composed of an undeformed “layer-cake” stratigraphy recording discrete depositional events ...


Holocene paleoecology of the central Canadian Arctic Islands
Principal Investigator: Gajewski, Konrad
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2004 2001 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: This ongoing project examines how vegetation has changed in response to changes in climate. I am using the history of vegetation, as recorded by the fossilized pollen that is present in lake sediments, to determine how vegetation in the arctic has changed over thousands of years. Fossilized pollen is collected by taking core samples from lake bottoms on Prince of Wales and Bathurst Islands. Pre...


Palynology and Stratigraphy of the Lower Cretaceous MT. Goodenough Formation, Aklavik Range, NWT
Principal Investigator: McIntyre, David J.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1990
Summary: The Researchers will collect rock samples for study of fossil algae (dinoflagellates) and will determine the geological age. They will correlate findings with similar material from wells and will determine climate and environment conditions at the time the rocks were deposited....


Sedimentology diagenesis and economic potential of Devonian sediments, eastern Franklinian Miogeosyncline, Bathurst Island
Principal Investigator: Brand, Uwe
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The Researchers will study sedimentary rocks and fossils that were formed more than 350 million years ago in warm tropical seas. The study helps to interpret the ancient environments and will outline which rock units were most favourable to generating and hosting economic mineral deposits....


(1) Stratigraphy, Sedimentology, Paleontology, Paleomagnetism of the Tertiary Beaufort Formation, Northwest Banks Island (2) Quaternary Stratigraphy and History of Northwesten Banks Island
Principal Investigator: Vincent, Jean-Serge
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: A camp will be set up on morthwestern Bands Island (Ballast Brook). Sections along rivers and the coast will be examined by the various researchers to determine the nature of the various sediments and their fossil content....


Sedimentological facies analysis within the Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous Units of the central northern Richardson Mountains, NWT/Yukon Territories
Principal Investigator: Mattner, Jorg
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To reconstruct the depositional environment in as much detail as possible, of the Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous sediments nowadays outcropping in the central part of the northern Richardson Mountains...


Ordovician-Silurian Stratigraphy of Southampton Island
Principal Investigator: Dewing, Keith
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To determine the ages and depositional environments of the lowermost five formations of Palezoic rocks which crop out on Southampton Island, District of Keewatin....


Licence #5021
Principal Investigator: Burden, Elliott
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: Mapping and systematic collection of strata for sedimentology, paleontology and palynology to determine deposition of environment....
