Principal Investigator: Dixon, James
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1994 1993 1992 1991
Summary: This ongoing study involves identifying, measuring and sampling the different types of rock found at selected sites. Most of the work will be conducted using a helicopter based out of Inuvik, with visits made to the sites on a daily basis. Temporary camps for 1-2 nights will be set up if sites require more than one day of work. The data collected will be used to develop a history of the area's ...

Principal Investigator: Johnstone, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The researcher and his team will traverse throughout the map area examining bedrock exposures and sampling. Observations may help construct a geological map showing lithology, structure and mineral occurences. Rock samples will be collected for geochemical and petrological analysis. The results of the survey will be presented in the form of poster displays, talks, reports and a map for distribu...

Principal Investigator: Gebert, James
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The researcher and his team will produce a 1:50,000 scale geology map of the Takijuq Lake greenstone belt, and report on the mineral potential of the area....

Principal Investigator: King, Janet E.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: Mapping of bedrock and surfical geology will be conducted in numerous parts of the geologic Slave Province. Specific studies of the bedrock, such as its stratigraphy, the nature of the granitic rocks, how the rocks deformed and metamorphosed, and isotopic dating will provide insight on the geologic evolution of this part (Slave Province) of the Canadian Sheild....

Principal Investigator: Frisch, Thomas
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: Large scale faults and folds are exposed on the shores of Prince of Wales Island. The rocks and structures in this region will be examined to help resolve the geological history of the uplift....

Principal Investigator: Peterson, Tony D.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The research is part of a program focussed on understanding the Proterozoic intraplate tectonics of the Churchill Province. Petrological studies of the strongly potassic volcanic rocks of the Baker Lake Group are intended to assess their potential as diamond source rocks and to investigate the history of their mantle source regions....

Principal Investigator: Henderson, John B.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The research will collect information to produce maps which outline the distribution of various rock types, attempting to show their relationship to each other in order to understand their history, how they orignially formed and what has happened to them between then and now. This data will also assist in the search for mineral deposits in the study area....

Principal Investigator: Kranendonk, Martin J.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The research will consist of bedrock geological mapping and sampling of rocks for laboratory (chemical and petrographic) analysis....

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: Dredge, Lynda
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researchers will be undertaking systematic reconnaissance mapping as part of the national program for the Geological Survey of Canada. They will collect soil and rock samples for analysis in Ottawa....
