Summary:
The research team will land by helicopter from the coastguard vessel at a number of sites along the coasts of Resolution Island, Button Islands and Akpatok Island. Researchers will measure with a compass the directions of glacial scratches made by former ice sheet on bedrock and the altitude of old raised beaches, which have been uplifted after glaciers left. Researchers will identify the geolog...

1992199119901988 Summary:
Fieldwork consists of a combination of mapping surface materials and landforms and where possible retrieving shells from raised marine deposits to determine the date of emergence and the temperature conditions of the oceans when the shell was formed. Observations of ice and icy sediments will also be made. By collecting this data the researchers will be able to see broad patterns in the landscape...

1987 Summary:
Dr. Beaudet and two students are investigating where the glaciers where long ago. They will also be extracting cores of sediments to see how the climates and plants differed between then and after the glaciers melted....
Principal Investigator:Mallamo, Mark Licensed Year(s):
1987
Summary:
To study the carbonate rocks of the Allen Bay Formation (Ordovician and Silurian in age) on Cornwallis and Griffith Islands by mapping and collecting different rock and fossil types. This will enable the interpretation of the physical setting or environment in which these rocks were deposited, some 450 million years ago....
Principal Investigator:Dawson, Mary R. Licensed Year(s):
1985
Summary:
Paleontological collecting of vertbrate and plants ranging in age from Late Cretaceous to Middle Eocene; also to study the stratigraphic relationships of the fossil-bearing deposits and interpreting both the conditions that these rocks represent and the geologic relationships within the Eureka Sound Formation....

Summary:
To study the stratigraphy, sedimentology, paleoecology, and paleontology of the Upper Devonian Kakisa and Trout River Formations....
