NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Vincent, Jean-Serge
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The researcher and his team will complete a detailed paleomagnetic sampling of the glacial and nonglacial sediments in the Morgan Bluffs of eastern Banks Island, and collect samples of boulders for Chlorine 36 dating. The data will allow the team to confirm or disconfirm previously proposed correlations and establish on a firmer basis the chronological framework for one of the longest sequences o...

Principal Investigator: Bouchard, Michel A.
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researchers will study the ejecta which is material formed as a result of the explosive impacting and throw out of rocks at the moment of meteorite impact. They will also investigate the pollen content of the glacial sediments trapped within the crater rim....

Principal Investigator: Shilts, William W.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The Researchers will investigate the nature of the basal debris load of Aktineq Glacier. The area around Aktineq Glacier as well as glaciers and glaciated terrain within 30 km of Pond Inlet will be visited to plan for future university-based research....

Principal Investigator: Bouchard, Michel A.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his assistant will sample and study the modern glacial debris from the snout of two glaciers on the south side of Bylot Island. This study has no biological component and will not involve sampling the fauna or the flora....

Principal Investigator: Pollard, Wayne H
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991 1990 1988
Summary: The study will involve the mapping of the terminal moraine system of the White and Thompson Glaciers, the sampling and analyses of sediment, ice and water and the monitoring of a series of study sites....

Principal Investigator: Sloan, Valerie
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Valerie Sloan is mapping the gravel and rock deposits made by the glaciers to determine where the last glaciers where. Since the weight of the glaciers caused the land to sink, she is also investigating how much the land has risen since the glaciers melted....

Principal Investigator: King, Lorenz
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: to study marginal processes at ice edges using terrestrial survey photogrammetry, geomorphological mapping, and geophysical soundings; to investigate glacier fluctuations by comparing aerial photographs; to produce geomorphological and topographical maps of areas studied...

Principal Investigator: Kerr, Daniel E.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To collect data for PhD thesis; to investigate the nature of the Late Quaternary stratigraphic record of marine and glaciomarine deposits exposed by rivers along the mainland coast of the NWT; to define ice-front positions during ice retreat; to describe the succession of depositional environments during deglaciation; to evaluate the extent of isostatic uplift....

Principal Investigator: Shaw, John
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To study landforms made by glaciers, and in particular what happens beneath very large ice sheets. The shape and internal structure of drumlins and eskers (related landforms) will be sampled and measured in order to assess the theory that these have been formed by catastrophic floods of melt water....

Principal Investigator: Semmel, Arno
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To obtain more information about periglacial process and environments in a formerly unglaciated area with regard to slope denundation and fluvial process. To show the differences between areas of continuous and discontinuous permafrost. To investigate along the Dempster Highway different valley-profiles by mapping the geomorphological features and to take soil samples....
