Principal Investigator: Gruchy, Charles
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1989 1988 1987
Summary: Mr. Gruchy and his research team will continue to map the stumps and logs of the unmineralized fossil forest at Geodetic Hills and will also study the erosion and the impact humans have had on the site. In addition they will take small samples of wood and leaf litter to continue their studies of preservation methods. They will also photograph grave markers at Beechey Island, Franklin site...

Principal Investigator: Watts, Stephen
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Dr. Watts will be collecting samples of rocks while he is investigating how weather and glaciers cause bedrock to erode....

Principal Investigator: Lewkowicz, Antoni G
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 1988 1987
Summary: Over time, hillsides slowly collapse for various reasons. Dr. Lewkowicz and his assistants are looking for a certain type of slope failure called skinflows. They want to know map the locations of skinflows in this area and they are going to measure them and determine their age by extracting some soil samples....
