Petrology and geochemistry of the late Archaean banded iron formation and associated turbidites, western Slave Craton: constraints on palaeoenvironment
Principal Investigator: Haugaard, Rasmus RH
Licensed Year(s): 2013 2012
Summary: The recent discovery of new occurrences of 2.9 - 2.6 Ga old banded iron formations in the NWT have opened an exceptional opportunity to study ocean chemistry directly preceding the Great Oxidation Event (GOE). In this regard, the research group has been engaged with the Northwest Territories Geoscience Office (NTGO) to undertake field and laboratory studies of Achaean Banded Iron Formation (BIF) f...


Paleoclimatic Significance of Laminated Lake Sediments from the Canadian High Arctic
Principal Investigator: Retelle, Michael J.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The researchers will attempt to reconstruct climate and past environmental conditions through recovery and study of sediment cores from lakes at Taconite Inlet, northern Ellesmere Island. They will also monitor conditions under which the lake sediments are presently accumulating....


Long-term Stability of Arctic Island "Oases"
Principal Investigator: Gajewski, Konrad
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2004 2001 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: This study will investigate the long-term stability of the arctic "oases" of Polar Bear Pass and Hot Weather Creek by the pollen analyses of lake sediment cores. The sediment that accumulates in the bottom of lakes provides a history of the conditions in the lake. The pollen incorporated in the sediment can be interpreted to give an idea of the climate and vegetation for the past several thousand ...
