Summary: Characteristics of ancient sediments reveal information about the chemical, biological and physical environment within which these sediments were formed. By studying the patterns of rocks found in the north Baffin area, I hope to discover how much of the formation of these rocks was due to the algae that lived in ancient oceans, and how much was due to the chemical makeup of the water. The resea...

Principal Investigator: Taylor, R.B.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1990
Summary: The researcher and his team will search for new evidence pertaining to the recent history of relative sea level so that a Holocene sea level curve can be constructed for the Arctic Island shores....

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....

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: Dixon, James
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1994 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The Researchers will examine, measure and record details of specific rock units in the Northern Richardson Mountains using a helicopter to visit a number of sites....

Principal Investigator: Miller, Gifford H.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1991 1990 1989 1987
Summary: The Researcher and his team will conduct a study which relates to past glacial activity and sea level change in the eastern Canadian Arctic. The studies will concentrate on evidence for the direction and timing of ice movement in Frobisher Bay and on the adjacent Baffin Shelf....

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....

Principal Investigator: Davis, P. Thompson
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To obtain sediment cores, peat samples, lichen growth samples and to map and date glacial land forms. This is part of a study of glacial and ancient climate history....

Principal Investigator: Funston, Bernard W.
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: As part of a mountaineering expedition, to examine the layered sands of the area to determine the natur eof their origin. The study will also look for the record of how the glaciers receded in the area....

Principal Investigator: Brigham, Julie K.
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: As part of a Mastre's degree to study the glacial history of the area. The raised marine terraces will be studied. Glacial and glaciomarine sediments will also be examined....
