Glacial Geomorphological Field Mapping on Akpatok Island, Resolution Island and Button Islands.
Principal Investigator: Gray, James T.
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: The research team will land by helicopter from the coastguard vessel at a number of sites along the coasts of Resolution Island, Button Islands and Akpatok Island. Researchers will measure with a compass the directions of glacial scratches made by former ice sheet on bedrock and the altitude of old raised beaches, which have been uplifted after glaciers left. Researchers will identify the geolog...

Quaternary studies on the northern Quebec coast and offshore islands in the Hudson Strait, Northeastern Canada
Principal Investigator: Gray, James T.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: In previous years research, we have been able to prove the existence of an early opening of the Hudson Strait at the end of the last Ice Age, and to establish 4 important source areas for ice flows into Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay. Our 1992 work will permit us to expand and complete the work on several offshore islands, as well as sample from an exposure of old marine sediments in the Deception ...

INSTAAR Geological Fieldwork 1992, Northwest Territories, Canada
Principal Investigator: Kaufman, Darrell
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: Three field parties will continue investigations related to past glacial activity in the eastern arctic during the last deglaciation (12,000 - 8,000 years ago). They will also research the geologic record of environmental changes preserved in lake sediments....
