NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Baragar, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researchers will survey and samples exposures of suspected carbonatites discovered after field work in 1985....

Principal Investigator: Fyles, John G.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: On Melville and Bathurst Islands, the Researchers will locate and describe the occurrence of high-level gravels and sands, record evidence of the flow-direction of the rivers in which they originated and search for plant and insect fossils that may provide clues about the age of these deposits and about the climate and environment at that time....

Principal Investigator: White, Gary
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher will use simplified geological maps, diagrams, colour photgraphs and text to illustrate the geology and geological history along the highway. Emphasis will be on points of interest travellers can visit and photograph....

Principal Investigator: Bednarski, Jan
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1988 1987
Summary: Dr. Bednarski will be collecting rock samples and mapping the locations of various landforms that were made by glaciers. He will also be looking at raised beaches, all in an effort to understand how the landscape was formed....

Principal Investigator: Jung, Arthur
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To study the structural geometry and history of the Sverdrup Basin strata exposed within this area. To study the mechanism by which the vergence of the thrust fault changes along the strike of the Blue Mountain Thrust. To measure stratigraphic sections within this field area....

Principal Investigator: Pearce, Cheryl M.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To investigate the spatial and temporal relationships between plant species distribution and beach age on Truelove Lowland, Devon Island. To measure plant composition and spatial variability on different sites on a raised beach and on raised beaches of different ages from the most recent to the oldest and (2) to correlate vegetation parameters with site factors such as soil texture, macro-nutrien...

Principal Investigator: Dixon, O.A.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To study Lower Paleozoic stratigraphy, sedimentology and geological history in the Canadian Arctic Islands. The specific project planned to begin in 1987 concerns Silurian shelf-margin facies on NW Devon and Ellesmere Islands. The field work planned for 1987 would include measurement of stratigraphic sections and collection of rock and fossil samples for subsequent laboratory study....

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....

Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: A continuation of studies relating to geology, permafrost and Quaternary research....

Principal Investigator: Young, G.M.
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To study the glacial sediments of Precambrian rocks....
