Principal Investigator: Phillips, Stephen M.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To continue the study of the detailed geological history of Caledonian Bay and the region near Schei Summit of central Ellesmere Island. Geological mapping will be carried out on an approx. scale of 1:50,000, using aereal photographs as a base. More detailed studies (on a meter scale) will be undertaken where structures and outcrop permit. Some rock samples will be collected for laboratory anal...

Principal Investigator: Francis, Don
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To study the marginal rocks of the Muskox Layered Intrusion by mapping and collecting 100 fist-sized rock samples for chemical analysis along the eastern margin of the intrusion from Stanbridge Lake to the Coppermine River; determine the composition of the parental magma of the intrusion and to characterize the process of magma crystallization along the walls of the intrusion; undertake a reconnai...

Principal Investigator: St. Seymour, Karen
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: (a) by employing petrochemical methods to delineate the chemostratigraphy of the Point Lake greenstone belt in the Slave structural Province and demonstrate its relationship with the Yellowknife volcanics; (b) chemically characterize and document the stratigraphy and tectonic style of the Redrock Lake volcanic belt....

Principal Investigator: Dixon, O.A.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To carry out a study of Lower Paleozoic stratigraphy and geological history of the Somerset-Cornwallis-Devon Islands region. This would include geological mapping, measurement of stratigraphic sections, and collection of rock and fossil samples for subsequent laboratory study....

Principal Investigator: Cavell, Patricia A.
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To undertake a long-term (3-4 year) study of a particular series of alkaline rocks. Samples and photographs will be taken and maps made of the area as part of the study....

Principal Investigator: Evans, L.J.
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To study the rock and time sequences of soils in northern Canada to assess the extent of chemical change during the formation of the soils and relate these changes to the structural features of the soil....
