NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Topham, David
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher and team will deploy an array to nine ARGOS drift buoys over the period of March to May. A small remote submersible equipped with upward looking sonar will be used in the operation....

Principal Investigator: Hooper, James Matthew
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher will map the surficial geology and glacial landforms of the area using air photographs and field evidence. They will also verify interpretations made from air photos by checking mapped units on the ground and by collecting soil samples for laboratory 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: Lemmen, Donald
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher will map, describe, explain the surficial deposits and geomorphology and study glacial history and relative sea level changes. This will involve mapping and surveying as well as the collection of small samples for sedimentological, geochemical and paleoecological analysis....

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....

Principal Investigator: Jones, Timothy
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Research team will continue work begun in 1990 to carry out a resource evaluation of the Bluenose Lake area. A national park has been proposed for the area. Before land can be set aside as a park reserve an assessment of non-renewable (oil, gas, minerals) resource potential is required....

Principal Investigator: Jetty, Tammy
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher will carry out fieldwork in association with Dr. Cheryl M. Pearce. The study will investigate if the the response of arctic surfaces to climate changes can be detected, monitored and mapped using space imagery....

Principal Investigator: Topham, David
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher and his team will map and measure sea ice in the southern Beaufort Sea. They will use nine ARGOS drift buoys and will operate a small remote submersible equipped with upward looking sonar....

Principal Investigator: Young, G.J.
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: Dr. Young and his research team will remap the White Glacier, calculate volumetric change since 1960 and calibrate the annual mass balance record....

Principal Investigator: Schau, Mikkel
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his assistant will carry out a pilot project using digital computer technology to facilitate geological mapping in an isolated area....
