1996
Résumé:
Study 800 million year old fossil reefs near Wynniatt Bay on Victoria Island. Will fly to the site using Polar Shelf Twin-Otter aircraft. Measurements and pictures will be taken of the rocks and about 100 kg of rock samples will be collected with a hammer. The rock samples will be studied back at the university....

Résumé:
The researchers will take and analyse duplicate peat cores collected at each of their sites. A modified Macaulay peat corer (inside diameter 5 cm) for the non frozen peat and a small diameter permafrost probe for the perennially frozen peat will be used. Analysis of the peat cores for macrofossils stratigraphy, vegitation stratigraphy and peat chemistry will be completed....

1990 Résumé:
The researchers will collect specimens of fossil molluscs exposed in critical areas. This involves simply breaking rocks loose from their location. No excavation deeper than 1 foot is contemplated. Localities will be marked on topographic maps and measurements of sections exposed in river banks will be made. Analysis will be completed in California. Significant specimens will be returned to t...

1993 Résumé:
The researcher will study trilobite fossil communities that exsisted in the Cambrian Period. Study of these fossils will help in more precisely dating the rocks laid down by this sea. The researcher will also prepare a biostratigraphic zonation....

1991 Résumé:
The research team will search parts of Cornwallis and Ellesmere Islands for fossils of ancient sea and land creatures that lived more than 400 million years ago. Of special interest are remains of eurypterids (sea scorpions), giant armoured fishes, jawless fishes, molluscs and early land animals. The fossils will be used for new exhibits and educational programs at the Royal Tyrrell Museum and t...

1994
Résumé:
The researcher will examine the following geological localities and units: Sabine Bay (Permian) and Heiberg (Triassic) formations, northern Axel Heiberg Island and Blind Fiord, Blaa Mountain, and Heiberg and Sabine Bay and Svartevaeg formations, east- central Ellesmere Island. At each fossil site the researcher will record relevant stratigraphic and sedimentological information and collect repres...

19921991 Résumé:
Rock samples will be collected for processing in the lab. Some of these rocks will be processed for fossils (primarily silicified trilobites) which will be photographed and described for classification purposes. The data gathered will then be used for understanding the ancient (350-450 million years ago) ecology and the correlation of these rocks. Levels where there are extinctions followed by e...

199319921991199019891988 Résumé:
The researchers will collect samples of shales and limestone at regular intervals (usually about every 1 metre or less). Samples of rock of up to 1-2 kg are collected from each horizon. Samples will be bagged and shipped back to the university for further study. This study will help researchers better understand the geological history of the Arctic....

19931992 Résumé:
The researcher will carefully trowel and wet screan a peaty deposit to gather remains of Tertiary vertebrates, plant, and invertebrates remains in the beaver-pond site near Strathcona Fiord. This will be done in an effort to better understand the paleoenviornment and the geological age of the deposit....
chercheur principal:LePage, Ben A. Année(s) de permis:
1994
Résumé:
The researcher will begin a preliminary paleontological investigation of Permain age (about 250 million years old) sediments of the Sabine Bay Formation and the fossil plants contained within these deposits. The plants recovered will be identified and compared to Permain floras from Russia, Greenland, and Europe. Localities yielding interesting or well-preserved specimens will provide a basis for...
