Summary: The research team proposes to conduct studies of fish and fish habitat, hydrology, hydrogeology and water quality in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region as part of the baseline studies for the Mackenzie Gas Project. These studies will complete the aquatic...

Principal Investigator: Callow, Lin
Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: The objective of these trials is to evaluate the performance of Low Ground Pressure Vehicles (LGPV) on frozen tundra without surface preparation. The effects of LGPV passage on soil, permafrost, and vegetation will be monitored and the details of each tr...

Principal Investigator: Graburn, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: The geotechnical investigation program involves drilling or excavating to collect soil samples at specific sites and the installation of thermal recording devices. Boreholes or excavations will be drilled at approximatley 30-35 sites (22 borrow sites, 4...

Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: Noise monitoring will be conducted at a potential facility location near Fort Good Hope and near the Blackwater River. These data will provide estimates of current background ambient noise in the project area, prior to construction of the Mackenzie Gas P...

Principal Investigator: Pollard, Wayne H
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005 2004 2003
Summary: This study is an investigation of massive ice in granular deposits in the Mackenzie Delta area and northeastern North Slave region. The presence of massive ice in aggregate deposits results in resource management problems, particularly for the oil indus...

Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: Noise monitoring will be conducted at two potential sites for a compressor station near Travaillant Lake. These data will provide estimates of background ambient noise, which is needed before construction of the Mackenzie Gas Project. The proposed monit...

Principal Investigator: Kokelj, Steven V
Licensed Year(s): 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 2000 1999
Summary: This study investigates the physical and chemical characteristics of permafrost in the Mackenzie Delta region. The thawing of ice-rich permafrost can result in subsidence or terrain instability. Determination of thaw-sensitive terrain is required to pla...

Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002
Summary: Noise monitoring will be conducted in the Taglu lease and in the Swimming Point, Parsons Lake and Jimmy Lake regions. These data will provide estimates of background ambient noise which will be needed before construction of the Mackenzie Gas Project. Pr...

Principal Investigator: Fabijan, Michael F
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: A team consisting of two ice specialists, one locally hired wildlife monitor and one locally hired field technician will be flown by helicopter from Inuvik to perform on-ice field work at Devon's western and eastern offshore drilling locations. No low-l...

Principal Investigator: Melton, Derek
Licensed Year(s): 2002 2000
Summary: The objective of the study is to assess environmental conditions at sites previously developed within the project area, as well as at new development sites proposed for 2002/2003. Information from these surveys will form part of an environmental assessme...
