Principal Investigator: Reford, Stephen
Licensed Year(s): 2011 2010 2008
Summary: This license has been issued for the scientific research application #874. The purpose of this research is to provide Darnley Bay with geophysical data to assist in their interpretation of mineral potential in the Paulatuk area. This study will composed of four different studies: Airborne Gravity Survey, Geological sampling/Prospecting, Airborne Electromagnetic Survey and Bathymetry Survey. ...


2006-2008 JOGMEC-NRCan Mallik Gas Hydrate Research and Development Project
Principal Investigator: Dallimore, Scott R
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2002 1998
Summary: The objectives of the study are to: characterize gas hydrates at Mallik using state-of-the-art well log data; collect high-quality core samples for measurement of gas hydrate production parameters (e.g. hydraulic permeability, thermal conductivity, pore water geochemistry); conduct ground temperature monitoring to depths of greater than 1 km to evaluate gas hydrate stability; integrate data to bet...


Industrial Development and Indigenous Peoples of the Russian and Canadian North: Interaction, Losses, Acquisitions
Principal Investigator: Novikova, Natalya I.
Licensed Year(s): 2006
Summary: The major issues in the interaction of indigenous peoples and industrial corporations are the right of aboriginal peoples to natural resources, and aboriginal participation and co-management of these resources. These issues generate heated discussion on all levels of power, and acquire the character of conflict in everyday life. Lack of understanding about other parties’ intentions precludes engag...


Natural Resource Canada 2D High-Resolution Seismic Surveys at Mallik and Niglintgak
Principal Investigator: Bellefleur, Gilles
Licensed Year(s): 2006
Summary: The Mackenzie River Delta hosts several accumulations of gas hydrates, a possible energy resource present in the form of an ice-like crystalline solid composed of water molecules surrounding natural gas. The Niglintgak and Mallik sites have been the subjects of several research programs, some of which included successful drilling of gas hydrate layers between 900m and 1100m depths. This project is...


The construction of community-based natural resource management: Social perception and cognition in the development of new resource management institutions in Deline, Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Krogman, Naomi T
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005
Summary: The objective of this study is to examine how people perceive natural resource management practices in the Canadian North. Two community-based natural resource management case studies will be used: Great Bear Lake Watershed Management Planning process, and the formal protection process of Sahoy·Ú-?edacho cultural landscapes. Using these case studies, the specific objectives are to: examine the way...


Teleseismic Studies in the Lac de Gras Area
Principal Investigator: Snyder, David B
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2003 2000 1999
Summary: The objective of this ongoing study is to investigate the structure and composition of the Earth's crust and mantle to depths of 0 - 300 km from sites in the Lac de Gras area. Methods are being sought to characterize diamond reservoirs in order to make d...


Alaskan Gas Producers Pipeline Team-Marine Environmental Studies for the Portion of the Proposed Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Route Within the Inuvialuit Settlement Region.
Principal Investigator: Shopik, Tim
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The proposed field research programs will allow the proponent to determine the technical and environmental feasibility and economic viability of a subsea natural gas pipeline from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to the Mackenzie Delta area of Canada. Five field research projects are proposed to provide information needed to make the necessary evaluations. The research is designed to: (1) Assess the feasibil...


Alaskan Gas Producers Pipeline Team- Terrestrial Environmental Studies for the Portion of the Proposed Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Route Within the Inuvialuit Settlement Region.
Principal Investigator: Shopik, Tim
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The proposed field research program will include the following general areas of study: freshwater aquatics (freshwater fish and their habitats, water quality, hydrology), terrestrial wildlife including waterfowl, vegetation and soils, archaeology and noise. For all studies, access will be by helicopter, boat or on foot, as appropriate. Most access will be by helicopter. Methods to be employed i...


Integrated Management Planning in the Husky Lakes Area of the Inuvialuit Settlement Region.
Principal Investigator: Hoyt, Andrea J.
Licensed Year(s): 2001 2000
Summary: The research team will be based out of Tuktoyaktuk, and travel to Tuktoyaktuk from Inuvik will be by scheduled flight. No field camps will be used, and all transport in the field will be on foot or by boat. The study will be done through individual and group interviews, using maps and semi-directed interviews. Interviews will be taped, to facilitate data collection. Participation in the study i...


Developing Sustainable Non-timber Forest Product Business Opportunities in the GSA
Principal Investigator: Boxall, Peter
Licensed Year(s): 2001 2000
Summary: Economic opportunities in traditional forestry (i.e. timber production) in the area are limited due to the slow tree growth rates and distance to markets. The 'Developing Sustainable Non-timber Forest Products' project will provide an initial assessment of local business opportunities in non-timber forest products. This project will identify some potential products, identify their distribution a...
