Reconstructing Pliocene Environmental Change and Landscape Dynamics using the Beaufort Formation on Northwest Banks Island, NT
Principal Investigator: Gosse, John C
Licensed Year(s): 2013
Summary: The primary objectives are to i) collect fossils (i.e. peat, bone, wood, and other sedimentary proxies) for paleoenvironmental reconstructions and, ii) document the age of the Beaufort Formation (Fm) at Ballast Brook, northwest Banks Island using a new approach based on the exposure of quartz sand grains to cosmic radiation: terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide (TCN) burial dating. The cosmogenic nuclid...


Environmental change at Duck Hawk Bluffs, SW Banks Island: from a forested to glaciated Arctic
Principal Investigator: England, John H
Licensed Year(s): 2012 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002
Summary: The research team proposes to revisit Duck Hawk Bluffs (DHB), southwest Banks Island, the “type section” for the formerly reported subsurface record. DHB offers an exceptional exposure along the north shore of Thesiger Bay, measuring 8 km long and up to 60 m high. Previous work assumed that the bluffs were composed of an undeformed “layer-cake” stratigraphy recording discrete depositional events ...


Canadian Arctic Archipelago Paleoenvironments: Beaufort Sea Bowhead Whale History Component
Principal Investigator: Dyke, Arthur S.
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: The objective of the work in western Victoria Island is to start establishing a postglacial history for the Beaufort Sea bowhead whale. We have done this very successfully for the Baffin Bay bowhead whale. This is a study of geological fossils, not of living whales, nor of bones at archaeological sites. This information will be used to find out how much sea ice cover has changed through time. A 2 ...


Sedimentology diagenesis and economic potential of Devonian sediments, eastern Franklinian Miogeosyncline, Bathurst Island
Principal Investigator: Brand, Uwe
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The Researchers will study sedimentary rocks and fossils that were formed more than 350 million years ago in warm tropical seas. The study helps to interpret the ancient environments and will outline which rock units were most favourable to generating and hosting economic mineral deposits....


Licence #2571
Principal Investigator: Jones, Brian
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To map and measure stratigraphy (layerd) sections and to collect paleontological (fossil) samples as part of a Phd. program of study....
