Principal Investigator:Brown, Malcolm P. Licensed Year(s):
1984
Summary:
A study of lake quaternary glacio-lacustrine sediments and abandoned lake shorelines on northeast Ellesmere Island, including surveying and mapping the uppermost lake shorelines to establish the nature of isostatic uplift in the area. Studying the exposed lake sediments and collecting organic material for dating purposes....
Principal Investigator:Laymon, Charles A. Licensed Year(s):
1984
Summary:
Mapping moraines and other glacial features, collecting samples of till and noting minerology of erratics encountered on the surface, measuring the orientation of striae and other ice directional features, measuring the elevation of raised marine deposits and sampling these deposits for shells which will be radiocarbon dated and used for amino acid geochronolgy....
Principal Investigator:Stravers, Jay A. Licensed Year(s):
1982
Summary:
To study the timing and extent of glaciation in Frobisher Bay. Field mapping and sample collection will be undertaken for future study and age dating....
Principal Investigator:Clark, Peter Licensed Year(s):
1982
Summary:
Measuring elevations of marine deposits (old beaches and ocean bottoms), shell fossil and pollen sampling measuring ice gauging directions and studying weathering characteristics of the rock....
Principal Investigator:Davis, P. Thompson Licensed Year(s):
1981
Summary:
To undertake a study of recent climatic change associated with glacial history of the area. Ancient pollen samples will be collected and studied as well....
Principal Investigator:Washburn, A.L. Licensed Year(s):
1981
Summary:
To undertake a long-term study of Quaternary (recent) geology and periglacial processes (e.g. erosional processes adjacent to a glacier). One of the principal functions this will be to establish the base camp in the Resolute area....
Principal Investigator:England, John H Licensed Year(s):
1981
Summary:
To conduct a contained study into the late glacial history, seal level changes and climatic changes. Involved is mapping of glacial marine deposits and fossil and driftwood collection for radiocarbon dating....
Principal Investigator:Ball, George E. Licensed Year(s):
1981
Summary:
To undertake a continued study of the carabid beetle of the area as examples of preglacial insects....
Principal Investigator:Ohmura, Atsumu Licensed Year(s):
1981
Summary:
To continue the long term studies related to glaciation. The whole project will also be reviewed and inventories taken for possible transfer of the project to another agency....
Principal Investigator:Miller, Gifford H. Licensed Year(s):
1981
Summary:
To document the glacial history of the area paying particular attention to past changes in relative sea level. Samples of fossilized mollusc shells will be collected for dating purposes....
