Principal Investigator: MacNaughton, Robert B.
Licensed Year(s): 2012 2011 2010 2009
Summary: The objectives of this study are: • To increase the geoscience knowledge of the NWT, particularly around Norman Wells and Tulita, and in the surrounding mountains. • To provide public geoscience information to all stakeholders through the production of bedrock geology maps and related reports on petroleum potential. • To encourage new and more effective exploration for oil and gas that will l...

Principal Investigator: Davison, Julia
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: This licence was issued for the application # 831. The objective of this study is to improve the detail on publicly-available maps and look at unanswered geological questions about Cretaceous rocks in the Sahtu region. Geological tools have changed sufficiently since the previous maps were made to warrant another more detail-focused study. The aim of the field work is to make measurements and c...

Principal Investigator: Henderson, J.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: The research team will walk the boundaries of different kinds of rocks. The boundaries are drawn on aerial photographs and transfered to topographical map bases. A geological map will be produced and published by the Geological Survey of Canada....

Principal Investigator: Kerr, Daniel E.
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher will be conducting geological field work in the region defined by the NTS Winter Lake Map (No. 86A). The work will involve surveying the land features and collecting samples of the rock and sediments in order that this information can be summarized on a geological map....

Principal Investigator: Lane, Larry S
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1991 1987
Summary: The field component of this project consists of examination of exposures of bedrock during ground surveys (on foot) at selected sites. This work will produce a geological map showing rock types, ages and positions as well as the degree to which the layers of rock have been folded or faulted during times in which mountains were formed. Licence issued for purposes of using the Inuvik Research Cent...

Principal Investigator: Stubley, Michael
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The research team will examine, document and take samples of the surface outcrops (rocks) in the study area. This information will be recorded on a map which will summarize the geological rock types and mineral resources of the area....

Principal Investigator: Ward, Brent
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher will survey by helicopter and on foot the areas of Lac de Gras and Aylmer Lake in order to investigate the distribution and nature of surface rocks and sediments. This data will be used to create geological maps of the areas as well as to check the accuracy of a preliminary map that was made based on air photo data. As well, samples of rock will be taken for chemical analyses in a...

Principal Investigator: Aspler, L.B.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: A field crew of four people will map (by foot and boat) the rocks deposited in ancient (2,500 to 1,900 million year old) basins. These rocks will also be assessed for their economic potential. The field work will also involve the collection of water, moss and lichen to determine levels of contaminants as part of the northern contaminants study funded by the Arctic Environmental Strategy....

Principal Investigator: Relf, Carolyn
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: In this ongoing study, the researcher will examine the nature of rocks found in the volcanic belt of the Avialik River area. This work will help to determine the amount of base metals and precious metals found in this belt of rocks. In addition, the movement of rocks (in the past) along a fault line will be examined. Geological mapping (field work) will be done in the summer while analyses of t...

Principal Investigator: Harrison, J. Christopher
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The field program is intended to provide data in order to better understand the bedrock of the Canadian landmass as well as to provide basic information that can be used in land use studies, education, environmental impact analysis and resource evaluation. Data, measurements and samples will be collected on the different types of rocks found in the Vendom and Strathcona Fiord areas. The results w...
