chercheur principal: Kershaw, G. Peter
Année(s) de permis: 1992
Résumé: The researcher and his team will determine the current status and contemporary characteristics of palsas (frozen peat mounds), and their environments within this mountainous study area. As well, they will quanititatively describe the processes affecting the evolution of these periglacial features and the potential changes in the status of these and related forms under global change models....

chercheur principal: King, Janet E.
Année(s) de permis: 1992
Résumé: Mapping of bedrock and surfical geology will be conducted in numerous parts of the geologic Slave Province. Specific studies of the bedrock, such as its stratigraphy, the nature of the granitic rocks, how the rocks deformed and metamorphosed, and isotopic dating will provide insight on the geologic evolution of this part (Slave Province) of the Canadian Sheild....

chercheur principal: Thompson, Peter H.
Année(s) de permis: 1994 1992
Résumé: Using a combination of regional bedrock mapping, detailed mapping, and special studies in the fields of petrology, structural geology, geochronology, geophysics, metallogeny and surficial geology, the research will determine the origin, evolution and economic potential of part of the Slave Structural Province, Canadian Shield....

chercheur principal: Long, Darrel G.F.
Année(s) de permis: 1993 1992
Résumé: This research represents a continuation of work carried out in 1985 on northern Ellesmere Island. The 1992 fieldwork will examine Lower Cambrian to Middle Ordovician strata in easter Devon Island....

chercheur principal: Burden, Elliott
Année(s) de permis: 1991 1990 1988 1987
Résumé: The Researcher and associate will collect samples of shale and sandstone from cliffs. They will be taken to Memorial University to be analysed for their remnant magnetization. This research applies in regional correlation studies of marine and terrestrial strata and in site specific studies of the geologic development of this part of the Arctic....

chercheur principal: Washburn, A.L.
Année(s) de permis: 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 1988 1987
Résumé: Dr. Washburn and his assistant will continue the investigation into how the landscape has changed since the glaciers left 10,000 years ago. In particular, he is looking at how the effects of frost and permafrost have influenced the changes....

chercheur principal: Muecke, Gunter K.
Année(s) de permis: 1992 1990 1989
Résumé: The Researcher and assistants will investigate the field relations, petrology, mineralogy, geochemistry, and geochronology of magmatic rocks of the northern Canadian Arctic Islands....

chercheur principal: Bell, Trevor
Année(s) de permis: 1993 1990 1988
Résumé: This research is an extension of previous fieldwork completed in 1988 and 1989. Mapping surficial deposits and reconstructing former ice limits and sea level adjustments, investigations of landforms and associated sediments, collection and dating of organic material pertaining to terrestrial and raised marine deposits, and mapping distributions of glacial erratics will be undertaken....

chercheur principal: Neilsen, Peter A.
Année(s) de permis: 1980
Résumé: To undertake a study of the geologic formations of the area. The purpose of the study is to obtain a better understanding of the evolution of the rocks of the area....

chercheur principal: Lenz, Alfred C.
Année(s) de permis: 1978
Résumé: To collect samples of graptolites in the rocks from the Cape Phillips Formation and from the Road River Formation to establish better dates for these rocks and obtain further understanding of their formation....
