Summary: The present study aims to obtain information with the following objectives: 1) further describe, sample, and document field relationships and structures present in areas that were sampled and found to be significantly old (>3.8 billion years); 2) explore and sample other units which based on field relationships and mineralogy are likely to be as old or older than previously documented samples; and...

Summary: This is a Masters of Science research project aimed at understanding the geological evolution of a deep-marine environment that existed in the northern Mackenzie Mountains between 500 and 450 million years ago. This project team will establish small 2-3 person camps on or near a mountainside which is already known, based on previous work, that the rocks they are interested in will be exposed. E...

Summary: The objective of this study is to record the succession of rocks and collect some samples for further analysis. The researchers would take pictures of the rocks at the locations in order to support the interpretations made. From these observations, interpretations on the Devonian environment can be made. Rock succession and features within the rocks will be recorded in a notebook and the corres...

Summary: The objective of this research project is to understand how metals might be weathering from rocks, and to understand where they end up and in which chemical form (the speciation). The importance is to differentiate between the metal species that weather from the rocks, the species by which they are transported, and finally, the species by which they are deposited again, if they are in fact deposit...

Summary: A geological map will be made and specimens of both "ores" and surrounding rock will be collected at Kodlunarn Island and Beare Sound. The rocks will be analyzed for normal rock-forming constituents and precious/platinum metals. Minerals will be analyzed by microprobe. The researcher will do this in order to detrmine if the Beare Sound ores belong to the same suite of metals as the Kodlunarn Is...

Principal Investigator: Johnstone, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The researcher and his team will traverse throughout the map area examining bedrock exposures and sampling. Observations may help construct a geological map showing lithology, structure and mineral occurences. Rock samples will be collected for geochemical and petrological analysis. The results of the survey will be presented in the form of poster displays, talks, reports and a map for distribu...

Principal Investigator: Muecke, Gunter K.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1990 1989
Summary: The researcher and his team will define the connection between the opening of the Arctic Ocean during the Cretaceous period, development of a continental margin, major crustal extension and rapid subsidence in the Sverdrup Basin, and voluminous basaltic magmatism. To achieve this, they will be investigating the field relations, petrology, mineralogy, geochemistry, and geochronology of magmatic ro...

Principal Investigator: Kranendonk, Martin J.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The research will consist of bedrock geological mapping and sampling of rocks for laboratory (chemical and petrographic) analysis....
