Inuvik – Tuktoyaktuk Highway 2013-2014 Geotechnical Investigations Program
chercheur principal: Patrie, Wayne
Année(s) de permis: 2013
Résumé: The Government of the Northwest Territories – Department of Transportation (DOT) proposes to conduct geotechnical investigations in the winters of 2013 and 2014. Geotechnical investigations will include drilling of boreholes, sampling and analysis of granular material collected, and installation of thermistor (temperature) cables. The geotechnical investigations are conducted to support design and...


Proposed Aklavik West Road and Bridge - Hydrotechnical and Geotechnical Field Investigations
chercheur principal: Kors-Olthof, Rita I
Année(s) de permis: 2014 2011
Résumé: The goals of the hydrotechnical research are to: - learn if there are possible problem areas due to water or ice along the proposed road; - choose the best proposed bridge location so that a new bridge won't wash out like the temporary one does; and - decide on length of bridge so that abutment locations can be chosen for later geotechnical drilling sites. The goals of the geotechnical resea...


Mackenzie Valley Landslide Geotechnical Investigations
chercheur principal: Wang, Baolin
Année(s) de permis: 2009 2008 2007 2006
Résumé: The main objective of this project is to improve the understanding of triggering factors and slope failure mechanisms of landslides in the Mackenzie Valley. This knowledge will enable better environmental impact assessments of new infrastructure projects proposed in the region. Investigations carried out in 2006 will continue with detailed mapping of landslides. Soil sampling will also be condu...

Enhancement of Permafrost Monitoring Network and collection of baseline terrain information in Mackenzie Valley Corridor - Deh Cho Region
chercheur principal: Smith, Sharon S
Année(s) de permis: 2006
Résumé: The Geological Survey of Canada maintains a network of active layer and permafrost temperature monitoring sites in the Mackenzie region in order to document the response of permafrost conditions to climate change. Gaps exist in the network in the permafrost zones north of Norman Wells, the Mackenzie Delta region, and on shorelines and coastlines. Enhancement of the network is essential to provide ...


Regional Geoscience Studies and Petroleum Potential of the Peel Plateau and Plain, Northwest Territories and Yukon
chercheur principal: Jones, Adrienne
Année(s) de permis: 2007 2006 2005
Résumé: Peel Plateau and Plain is an area with hydrocarbon potential spanning the NWT-Yukon border. A primary objective of this project is to expand geoscience knowledge to stimulate petroleum exploration, industry investment, and economic development for the benefit of Northerners. This is year one of a four year project. Three geologists will be flying by helicopter out of Inuvik on a daily basis t...


Mapping and Modeling Carbon Flux in Northern Canada Related to Land Use Change
chercheur principal: Chen, Wenjun
Année(s) de permis: 2005 2004
Résumé: The research team is working to become familiar with the impact of human disturbances on vegetation in northern Canada for their carbon studies. The objective of this study is to collect vegetation and biophysical data for use as verification of ground cover type and disturbance for use in satellite imagery classification and biomass and soil sampling for carbon modeling along the Ingraham Trail....


Integrated Geoscience Studies of the Mackenzie Delta and Nearby Coastal Environments
chercheur principal: Wright, Fred J
Année(s) de permis: 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2004
Résumé: This pilot study will address identified gaps in knowledge critical for assessing the impacts of regional oil and gas development in the vicinity of the Mackenzie Delta and Richards Island, with respect to exploration and drilling activities, well-head a...


Non-renewable Resource Assessment, Gwich'in Conservation Zones
chercheur principal: Lariviere, James
Année(s) de permis: 2003
Résumé: The objective of this fieldwork is to assess the non-renewable resources of the Richardson Mountains study area using geochemical sampling and analysis. This work is a requirement for the approval of the Gwich'in Land Use Plan by the federal government....


Surface Shear Wave Seismic Profiling and Drilling
chercheur principal: Good, Ron
Année(s) de permis: 1994 1993 1993 1992 1992 1991
Résumé: The Geological Survey of Canada, as part of its on-going research activities, is planning to carry out a geotechnical survey in order to improve certain techniques used in investigating permafrost and ground ice characteristics. The techniques used are shear wave seismic reflection profiling (to determine soil properties) and drilling (to determine the origin of massive ground ice bodies in the v...
