Summary: The purpose of the study is to examine the rocks near Blachford lake lodge to gain a better understanding of how they formed and why there are there. Initial mapping has shown that they are unusual with more iron and nickel in them than would be normally expected and we would like to look at them to better understand their history. There have been exploration companies interested in these rocks an...

Summary: This is a multidisciplinary project involving communities, governments and academic researchers. The goals are to : 1) inventory and track broad scale changes in landscape disturbances; 2) determine the impacts of natural and anthropogenic disturbances on the physical and chemical characteristics and ecology of streams and rivers; 3) determine disturbance thresholds relevant to the health of strea...

Principal Investigator: Hrabi, Blair
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: This will be the final summer of field work for this project. The detailed mapping data in combination with geochemistry will enable the researcher to gie a detailed geological history of the area, including timing of certain geological events (age of volcanism and granite plutons) as well as a deformational history....

Summary: This will be the final summer of field work for this project The detailed mapping data in combination with the geochemical sampling will enable the researcher to give a detailed geological history of the area, including the timing of certain geological events (age of volcanism and granite plutons) as well as a deformational history....

Principal Investigator: Henderson, J.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: The research team will walk the boundaries of different kinds of rocks. The boundaries are drawn on aerial photographs and transfered to topographical map bases. A geological map will be produced and published by the Geological Survey of Canada....

Principal Investigator: Ward, Brent
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher will survey by helicopter and on foot the areas of Lac de Gras and Aylmer Lake in order to investigate the distribution and nature of surface rocks and sediments. This data will be used to create geological maps of the areas as well as to check the accuracy of a preliminary map that was made based on air photo data. As well, samples of rock will be taken for chemical analyses in a...

Principal Investigator: Johnstone, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The researcher and his team will traverse throughout the map area examining bedrock exposures and sampling. Observations may help construct a geological map showing lithology, structure and mineral occurences. Rock samples will be collected for geochemical and petrological analysis. The results of the survey will be presented in the form of poster displays, talks, reports and a map for distribu...

Principal Investigator: Gulley, Angela L.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: 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....

Principal Investigator: Falck, Hendrik
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his assistant will visit all known gold and mineral resource occurances in the Yellowknife area. The area immediately around the showing will be mapped as to rock types, structures and mineral resources. Samples are returned to town and analyzed for chemcials and minerals....
