NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Thompson, Peter H.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992
Summary: Using a combination of regional bedrock mapping, detailed mapping, and special studies in the fields of petrology, structural geology, geochronology, geophysics, metallogeny and surficial geology, the research will determine the origin, evolution and economic potential of part of the Slave Structural Province, Canadian Shield....

Principal Investigator: Rainbird, Robert H
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: This is the first year of a 3-4 year program designed to up- date the present geological database for the Precambrian geology of northwestern Victoria Island. The study will involve 6-8 weeks of fieldwork. Researchers will collaborate both logistically and scientifically with Noranda Exploration Inc. who plan to be working in the same 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: Davis, P. Thompson
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The Researchers will continue to map and survey glacial abrasion limits, collect, describe and analyze soil samples from the Pangnirtung Pass and Pangnirtung Fiord areas to determine the direction and vertical extent of ice flow....

Principal Investigator: Robinson, Stephen
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: Massive ice is found in exposure in some sections of the Fosheim Peninsula. The exact origin, distribution and characteristics of these ice bodies are largely unknown. Geophysical surveys will be conducted and ice and sediment samples will be taken and analyzed....

Principal Investigator: Gulley, Angela L.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The Researcher will continue a project begun in 1991 which included mapping the local geology adjacent to the hotsprings, conducting a geochemical analysis of the springwaters, monitoring the physical properties, calculating natural discharge rates and conducting a pumping test and monitoring of depositional rates of tufa accumulations....

Principal Investigator: Matthews, Steven
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The project will evaluate airborne RADAR data as well as Landsat TM and SPOT satellite data to distinguish vegetation cover types of the tundra near Baker Lake. Detailed vegetation surveys will be carried out in the field. The data will be used to classify vegetation cover types and in accuracy assessment. Wildlife habitat types will be based on the resultant classification and produced as mapped ...

Principal Investigator: Henry, Gregory
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: In association with the Hunters and Trappers Association in Sanikiluaq, the Researchers will assess the extent and productivity of the range on the Belchers to estimate how many reindeer can be supported before they begin to damage the habitat....

Principal Investigator: Hogarth, D.D.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991
Summary: The Researchers will map the geology at and near the Countess of Sussex mines and investigate the mining methodology used by Martin Frobisher circa 1577. These mines represent the first attempts to mine gold in Canada....

Principal Investigator: Forbes, Donald L
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researchers will use the ARKTOS 5 amphibious vehicle for geophysical surveying in the vicinity of Tuktoyaktuk and the proposed Amauligak pipeline landing site on Richards Island. They will measure nearshore sediment dynamics using wave and current meters at selected locations in the vicinity of the proposed pipeline landing site at North Head....
