Principal Investigator: Melchin, Michael J.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990 1988
Summary: The Researcher and his assistants will carry out fieldwork which involves the collection of fossils (most of which are microscopic), rock samples, photographs and notes on the outcrops on northeastern Cornwallis Island. The work is to lead to a better understanding of the environmental changes brought about by changing climate....

Principal Investigator: Sharpe, David R.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: Mr. Sharpe, along with other geologists and students, are continuing to investigate the way the glaciers shaped the landscape on southern Victoria Island. They will be collecting samples of rock, soil, and fossils in order to determine the source and age of different landforms. This information will be used to produce a map of the glacial geology of this area....
