Taxonomic and Biostratigraphic Studies of Silurian (about 400,000,000 years ago) Graptolites (extinct organisms) and Radiolaria (micro-organisms) of Central Arctic Islands.
Principal Investigator: Lenz, Alfred C.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 1989 1988
Summary: 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....

The Dubawnt Super Group
Principal Investigator: Peterson, Tony D.
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: Collection of rock samples and subsequent study by examination of thin sections, geochemical analyses, and geological mapping. Work in the field is conducted by boat and foot traversing with some support by aircraft. This will be done in order to determine the geological history of Archean crystalline rocks....

Detailed Bedrock Mapping in the Winter Lake Supracrustal Belt
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....

Carbonate precipitation in the Mesproterozoic Society Cliffs Formation, Bylot Supergroup, on northern Baffin Island
Principal Investigator: Kah, Linda
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993
Summary: Characteristics of ancient sediments reveal information about the chemical, biological and physical environment within which these sediments were formed. By studying the patterns of rocks found in the north Baffin area, I hope to discover how much of the formation of these rocks was due to the algae that lived in ancient oceans, and how much was due to the chemical makeup of the water. The resea...

Thermal and tectonic history of the Sverdrup Basin and Franklinian Mobile Belt, Canadian Arctic Archipelago
Principal Investigator: Arne, Dennis C.
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: Rock samples will be collected in order to examine their structure and composition. Tests conducted on these samples will provide information about how these rocks were formed and the maximum temperatures to which these rocks were heated. These tests, conducted at Dalhousie University, will help to determine the geological history of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago....

Marine geological and geophysical studies in Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay during 1993
Principal Investigator: MacLean, Brian
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1990
Summary: This survey will take place from a ship travelling through the Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay region. The researchers will collect information on the history and characteristics of the seabed. Some samples of sediments on the seafloor will be taken for further analyses. Transfer of a few of the ship's crew may take place at Cape Dorset but all other activities will take place in locations remote ...

Stratigraphy and sedimentology of Carboniferous to Triassic strata.
Principal Investigator: Dixon, James
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1994 1993 1992 1991
Summary: This ongoing study involves identifying, measuring and sampling the different types of rock found at selected sites. Most of the work will be conducted using a helicopter based out of Inuvik, with visits made to the sites on a daily basis. Temporary camps for 1-2 nights will be set up if sites require more than one day of work. The data collected will be used to develop a history of the area's ...

Upper Silurian reef mounds at the Douro-Devon Island formational boundary, Devon and southwestern Ellesmere Islands
Principal Investigator: Dixon, O.A.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1990 1988
Summary: In the Arctic Islands, we are studying rocks and the fossils found within these rocks that were formed more than 400 million years ago in warm tropical seas. This study is expected to help in describing the temperatures, climate and water depths of these ancient seas. We are also studying the types of fossil corals and sponge-like animals that are not present in our seas today....

Precambrian Shield of the Boothia Uplift
Principal Investigator: Frisch, Thomas
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: Large scale faults and folds are exposed on the shores of Prince of Wales Island. The rocks and structures in this region will be examined to help resolve the geological history of the uplift....

Geology of the Wijinnedi Lake Map Area, District of Mackenzie
Principal Investigator: Henderson, John B.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The research will collect information to produce maps which outline the distribution of various rock types, attempting to show their relationship to each other in order to understand their history, how they orignially formed and what has happened to them between then and now. This data will also assist in the search for mineral deposits in the study area....
