Prairie Creek
chercheur principal: Reynolds, Merilie A
Année(s) de permis: 2024 2023
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5922. This research project will investigate the geological processes that formed the Prairie Creek zinc-lead-silver(-germanium) deposit. The goal is to better understand the environment of the ancient ocean where the rocks originally formed, the mountain-building processes that later deformed those rocks, and the nature o...


Mapping for Ground Ice along the ITH
chercheur principal: Alvarez, Alejandro
Année(s) de permis: 2024 2023 2022
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5791. The objectives of this study are to (1) evaluate the geologic setting including geochemistry, and dating of sediments to establish a regional history of the area. (2) investigate the geologic setting of multiple buried, massive ice bodies. And (3) develop a geologic and hazards map along the ITH, highlighting feature...


Tectonic studies of the Rae craton and flanking orogenic systems
chercheur principal: Thiessen, Eric
Année(s) de permis: 2024 2023 2022
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5816. This research will be guided by three objectives: 1) determine the largest possible contribution of mantle-derived heat sources, 2) establish a modern structural and tectono-metamorphic framework, and 3) evaluate evidence for mantle-derived heat input. Studies will involve field observations and targeted small-vo...


Geochemical and isotopic studies of Acasta Gneiss Complex, the oldest terrestrial rock on Earth
chercheur principal: Lee, Seung-Gu
Année(s) de permis: 2017
Résumé: The objective of this project is to collect rock samples from the Acasta Gneiss Complex, the oldest terrestrial rock on Earth, and to find a geochemical proxy which can shed light on the studies of early Earth rare earth element geochemistry and cosmochemistry. The field research will be carried mostly spot to spot based on the published geologic maps of previous researchers. The research team ...


Examining the Acasta Gneiss Complex: A Broader Scope
chercheur principal: Belosevic, Mike
Année(s) de permis: 2016 2015
Résumé: This study is designed to encompass the following goals: 1) Collect samples from the expanded Acasta Gneiss Complex (AGC) study area; 2) Perform field mapping and general exploration of the expanded study area; 3) Perform age dating and isotopic analysis of the collected samples along with whole-rock geochemistry to compare data with those in the extensively studied AGC body adjacent to the Acasta...


Tracking environmental change in the Neoproterozoic Sheepbed and Keele Formations, Mackenzie Mountains, Northwest Territories, Canada
chercheur principal: Sperling, Erik A
Année(s) de permis: 2014
Résumé: The objective is to collect high quality and high resolution stratigraphic and sedimentological data of the Sheepbed and Keele Formations at their type localities, along with accompanying samples for geochemical and petrological analysis. Specifically, the overall goal is to understand how these formations at their type sections relates to their correlatives throughout northwestern Canada, and det...


Reconnaissance Study of Smoking Hills
chercheur principal: Dunfield, Peter F
Année(s) de permis: 2013
Résumé: The objective of this work is to conduct a one day reconnaissance study of the Smoking Hills area. Mineral, rock, water and soil samples will be collected. Geochemical properties and microbial communities will be analysed in the laboratory in order to characterize any potential features unique to this site that would warrant future, more detailed research. The site will be accessed by helicopt...


Mineralogy, Geochemistry, and Fluid Inclusions of the Caribou Lake Layered Mafic-Ultramafic Intrusion
chercheur principal: Neyedley, Kevin
Année(s) de permis: 2013
Résumé: 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...


Petrogenesis of the Acasta Gneiss Complex: Ancient Rocks Revisited
chercheur principal: Reimink, Jesse R
Année(s) de permis: 2014 2013 2012 2011
Résumé: The present study aims to obtain information with the following objectives: 1) further describe, sample, and document field relationships and structures present in areas that were sampled and found to be significantly old (>3.8 billion years); 2) explore and sample other units which based on field relationships and mineralogy are likely to be as old or older than previously documented samples; 3) ...


The Search for Early Fossil Sharks in Lower Devonian rocks of the Mackenzie Mountains, NWT
chercheur principal: Wilson, Mark V.H.
Année(s) de permis: 2013 1998 1996 1990
Résumé: The 2 objectives of this research project are: 1) to recover some of the oldest-known body fossils of sharks and their relatives as well as other associated fossils. The anatomy of the fossil species will be described in detail and published in international journals. These fossils will allow identification of fragments of related species found at other sites worldwide, and will allow the researc...
