Principal Investigator: Hong, Tom
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: A pre-construction biophysical site assessment will focus on wildlife and vegetation. The proposed well-sites will be examined on foot, and the flowlines walked to document vegetation types, including rare species if present. Main vegetation types will b...

Principal Investigator: Good, Ron
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: This research is part of an ongoing program to develop geophysical standards for pipeline route surveying. This line has been chosen because past shallow drilling programs on this line have provided us with a great deal of ground truth, geology, temperat...

Principal Investigator: Bush, Dana
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The BC Terrestrial Ecosystem Mapping inventory standard will be used to provide a uniform method of describing vegetation, soil and terrain based on air photo interpretation and field data collection. The sampling sites will be located on Crown Land contained within a 1 km corridor with 'bulges' in areas of special concern such as river crossings. Surveying sites accessed by helicopter, boat, veh...

Principal Investigator: Shopik, Tim
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The proposed field research programs will allow the proponent to determine the technical and environmental feasibility and economic viability of a subsea natural gas pipeline from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to the Mackenzie Delta area of Canada. Five field research projects are proposed to provide information needed to make the necessary evaluations. The research is designed to: (1) Assess the feasibil...

Principal Investigator: Shopik, Tim
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The proposed field research program will include the following general areas of study: freshwater aquatics (freshwater fish and their habitats, water quality, hydrology), terrestrial wildlife including waterfowl, vegetation and soils, archaeology and noise. For all studies, access will be by helicopter, boat or on foot, as appropriate. Most access will be by helicopter. Methods to be employed i...

Principal Investigator: Forbes, Donald L
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researchers will use the ARKTOS 5 amphibious vehicle for geophysical surveying in the vicinity of Tuktoyaktuk and the proposed Amauligak pipeline landing site on Richards Island. They will measure nearshore sediment dynamics using wave and current meters at selected locations in the vicinity of the proposed pipeline landing site at North Head....

Principal Investigator: Boyes, Donald M.
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1994 1990
Summary: The Researcher and team propose to provide a better understanding of the present fluvial regime in the area and a method of assessing the effects of uncontrollable influences such as global warming and controllable factores such as hydro-electric and pipeline development....

Principal Investigator: Fairbarns, Matt
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To choose study sites for work to be done next Spring on investigation of vegetation-permafrost-microclimate relationships associated with subarctic pipeline disturbances....

Principal Investigator: Harry, David
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: A project directed toward the prediction and monitoring of geomorphic and geologic conditions along the route of the Norman Wells-Zama pipeline. Fieldwork will focus on observations of terrain performance along the pipeline ROW following the 1983/84 winter construction season....
