Inuvialuit Energy Security Project – Geotechnical Research Project
Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Alan R
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5217. The objective of the fieldwork is to collect geotechnical and geophysical data to further advance the Inuvialuit Energy Security Project (IESP). The engineering design for the IESP Energy Facility has advanced to the point of identifying two preferred locations for the Energy Facility. Both locations are within the pr...


Reclamation Research and Closure Plan for Pine Point
Principal Investigator: Robinson, Cindy
Licensed Year(s): 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4645. In accordance with the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board (MVWLB) Guidelines, the overarching closure goal for former mine sites is to return the site and affected areas to viable, and wherever practicable, self-sustaining ecosystems that are compatible with a healthy environment and with human activities. To meet ...


Environmental Studies for EL470 - 5yr
Principal Investigator: Belland, Darlene
Licensed Year(s): 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012
Summary: The objective of this project is to conduct ongoing monitoring and assessment programs, including areas in the Mackenzie River Special Management Zone (SMZ), for surface water. Surface water samples will be collected from selected lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams. Selected water bodies in EL470 have already undergone bathymetric assessment and sampling. ConocoPhillips will communicate, in ...


Geotechnical and Hydrotechnical Field Investigation, Norman Wells to Canyon Creek
Principal Investigator: McGregor, Robyn
Licensed Year(s): 2015
Summary: The objective of the 2015 hydrotechnical assessment is to assess the known and potential watercourses along the proposed access road alignment. The 2015 geotechnical assessment will assess the terrain along the proposed access road alignment and the potential material sources within the project area. Observing the known and potential crossings along the alignment. During the field work the fo...


2013 - 2014 Inuvik Tuktoyaktuk Highway Geotechnical Program
Principal Investigator: Purcka, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 2014
Summary: The Government of the Northwest Territories – Department of Transportation (DOT) proposed to conduct geotechnical investigations in the winter of 2014. The 2014 Program will be conducted to: • confirm the volume, quality and extent of material at Borrow Sources 174 and 309; and • prove the volume, quality and extent of material at Borrow Sources 312 West and PW19A available for use as suppl...


Mackenzie Valley Landslides Geotechnical Investigations
Principal Investigator: Wang, Baolin
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008 2007 2006
Summary: The objective of this field work is to better understand the movement behaviour of the landslides in the region. The Geological Survey of Canada’s research group lead by Dr. Baolin Wang has been conducting landslide research in the region since 2004. This is the final year of the project. The previous permits have expired. However, there is a need to make a follow up trip to the various landsli...


Surficial geology of Mackenzie Corridor
Principal Investigator: Duk-Rodkin, Alejandra ADR
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006 2005 2004
Summary: Project objectives are to map, identify, describe characteristics (geotechnical aspects) and date surficial deposits in the vicinity of the proposed pipeline corridor. This knowledge will assess: 1. granular resources. 2. slope instability, landslide occurrence and potential due mainly to instability of the active layer, forest fires and erosion. 3. geochemical analysis on a regional basis of till...


Shell Canada Limited Niglintgak 2006/2007 Winter Field Program
Principal Investigator: Seligman, Ben
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006
Summary: The proposed fieldwork is an expansion of previous years' fieldwork to develop a suitable knowledge base for planning and development. In addition, some routine maintenance at Camp Farewell will be conducted. The majority of the proposed work is planned for the Niglintgak area and is focused around the Gas Conditioning Facility (GCF) and the Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) crossing site, as ...


Active layer moisture and carbon dynamics in the wetland-dominated zone of discontinuous permafrost
Principal Investigator: Schincariol, Robert A
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: An improved understanding of the thaw and drainage processes, and exchanges of energy and moisture that control the flow of water in the vast wetland region of Canada is needed to improve weather and climate change predictions. Large-scale experiments on soils of the Central Mackenzie River basin will be used to elucidate moisture and carbon transport processes in the active layer. Laboratory base...


Enhancement of Permafrost Monitoring Network and Collection of Baseline Terrain Information in the Mackenzie Valley Corridor - Gwich'in Settlement Area
Principal Investigator: Smith, Sharon S
Licensed Year(s): 2006
Summary: Gaps exist in the Mackenzie monitoring network in the permafrost zones north of Norman Wells, the Mackenzie Delta region and shorelines and coastlines. Enhancement of the network is essential to provide baseline information for developments such as pipelines, highways and power lines, and to assess the impact of such development and/or climate change on the environment. In this project, temperatur...
