Principal Investigator: Gong, Zheng
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5354. The research team aim to conduct a detailed paleomagnetic study of the 2.7-billion-year-old Kam Group at the Giant section, ~ 5 km north of the city of Yellowknife. The intention of the project is to constrain the paleogeographic location of the Slave craton in the Archean and its relationship with other coexisting cr...

Principal Investigator: Child, M.M.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The Researcher will measure the magnetic susceptibility of lake sediments on Truelove Lowland....

Principal Investigator: Olson, John V.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The Norman Wells Observatory has demonstrated to be a very good site to place a remote aurora monitoring observatory to support a scientific experiment called SPIRIT II. For this project, the researchers will continue to investigate the aurora's strength and position, magnetic disturbances etc. The observatory at Norman Wells fills a gap in the internationally collected and shared auroral data se...

Principal Investigator: Burden, Elliott
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990 1988 1987
Summary: The Researcher and associate will collect samples of shale and sandstone from cliffs. They will be taken to Memorial University to be analysed for their remnant magnetization. This research applies in regional correlation studies of marine and terrestrial strata and in site specific studies of the geologic development of this part of the Arctic....

Principal Investigator: Fyles, John G.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his team will investigate the Beaufort Formation. They will measure the sequence of layers of sand and clay visible on hillsides and cut-banks, and collect samples from selected layers for laboratory study of (1) the paleomagnetic character of the formation, (2) plants and insects in the sand, and (3) marine organisms in the clays....

Principal Investigator: Vincent, Jean-Serge
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: A camp will be set up on morthwestern Bands Island (Ballast Brook). Sections along rivers and the coast will be examined by the various researchers to determine the nature of the various sediments and their fossil content....

Principal Investigator: Rode, Andris
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: to study human adaptation to prolonged hard work under extreme environmental conditions; to stimulate public interest in fitness and sport; to study geomagnetic and other physical phenomena; to develop closer scientific and cultural cooperation between Canada and the USSR...

Principal Investigator: Weber, Richard
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To complete a training session in order to test the operation of the equipment for magnetic operations under cold-weather conditions. During March-June 1988 the expedition will investigate the magnetic field across the Arctic Ocean where presently there is little data....

Principal Investigator: Wolfe, Allan
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To install a fluxgate magnetometer and 30MHz riometer to provide new information on hydromagnetic wave and particle precipitation phenomena occurring under varying interplanetary and geomagnetic conditions. This location is slected because it is in the "conjugate" area to the United States station at South Pole, Antarctica....

Principal Investigator: Oguti, Takasi
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: Record and photograph aurora (northern lights), related natural electromagnetic waves and geomagnetic pulsations. Another research on Doppler shift of HF waves (receiving only) may be added....
