Année(s) de permis: 1993 1992
Résumé: The research will involve a detailed assessment of the make- up of Devonian rocks found on Bathurst, Helena, Cameron and Byam Martin Islands over a three-year period. The potential for oil, gas and/or mineral deposits in the Devonian strata will be assessed, but the major emphasis of the research will be on investigating the strata's geochemical, paleontological and sedimentological characteristi...

Résumé: A special type of echo sounder will be used to determine the depth of the water and the thickness of the sediments beneath down to bedrock. The instrument also shows the patterns of sediment distribution around the fiord. From these results, an assessment can be made of where the sediment has come from, how much there is and how the patterns of sedimentation have changed during the entire period...

chercheur principal: Hequette, Arnaud
Année(s) de permis: 1993 1992 1991
Résumé: The researcher and his team will survey beach profiles using an electronic level, survey shallow lagoons and nearshore zones, collect nearshore sediment samples and deploy current meters in the nearshore zone and in a shallow lagoon....

chercheur principal: McIntyre, David J.
Année(s) de permis: 1992 1990
Résumé: 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....

chercheur principal: Beauchamp, Benoit
Année(s) de permis: 1994 1992 1991
Résumé: The Research will continue to measure thickness of strata and collect rock samples from various localities on northwestern Ellesmere Island. The purpose of the work is to understand and reconstruct the geography of the area between 325 and 245 million years ago. years ago....

chercheur principal: Gulley, Angela L.
Année(s) de permis: 1992 1991
Résumé: The Researcher will continue a project begun in 1991 which included mapping the local geology adjacent to the hotsprings, conducting a geochemical analysis of the springwaters, monitoring the physical properties, calculating natural discharge rates and conducting a pumping test and monitoring of depositional rates of tufa accumulations....

chercheur principal: Hiscott, Richard
Année(s) de permis: 1991
Résumé: The Researchers will: map the geometry of debris-flow (mudflow) deposits; document bottom slopes and flow paths; relate debris-flow activity to Pleistocene history of the area and sea-bed cores and use this data to quantify the subaqueous (below water) debris-flow process....

chercheur principal: Hills, L.V.
Année(s) de permis: 1993 1992 1991
Résumé: The Researchers will study the Kanguk Formation which is the last major marine transgression into the Sverdrup Basin. They will establish the age and environment in which the sediments were deposited. Organic matter will be analyzed to determine the petroleum generation potential of the formation....

chercheur principal: Dyke, Larry
Année(s) de permis: 1992 1991 1990
Résumé: The coast of the Beaufort Sea is presently undergoing many changes, either due to coastal erosion or sediment deposition. The Researcher and team will measure temperature due to these processes. Using known rates at which these processes take place it will be possible to predict further changes in temperature and distribution of permafrost....

chercheur principal: Brunskill, Gregg
Année(s) de permis: 1991 1990
Résumé: The Researcher and team will obtain live fish for immediate field dissection and dry ice freezing of tissue samples for contaminant, enzyme and protein measurements. Large core samples of deep lake muds are sliced into thin layers in the field for radiochemical estimation of slice age and the measurements for organochlorines, PAHs, metals and other geochemical parameters....
