NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Durham, J. Wyatt
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1990
Summary: The researchers will collect specimens of fossil molluscs exposed in critical areas. This involves simply breaking rocks loose from their location. No excavation deeper than 1 foot is contemplated. Localities will be marked on topographic maps and measurements of sections exposed in river banks will be made. Analysis will be completed in California. Significant specimens will be returned to t...

Principal Investigator: Harrison, J. Christopher
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The Researcher will continue a project to define the nature of the solid earth that makes up the bedrock beneath the Arctic Islands. This involves the examination of existing maps and air-photographs, the identification of rock types in the field, the measurement of the orientation of rock layers and similar features with a surveyor's hand-held compass and the collection of small samples for addit...

Principal Investigator: Gruchy, Charles
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1989 1988 1987
Summary: Mr. Gruchy and his research team will continue to map the stumps and logs of the unmineralized fossil forest at Geodetic Hills and will also study the erosion and the impact humans have had on the site. In addition they will take small samples of wood and leaf litter to continue their studies of preservation methods. They will also photograph grave markers at Beechey Island, Franklin site...
