Principal Investigator: Melchin, Michael J.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990 1988
Summary: The Researcher and his assistants will carry out fieldwork which involves the collection of fossils (most of which are microscopic), rock samples, photographs and notes on the outcrops on northeastern Cornwallis Island. The work is to lead to a better understanding of the environmental changes brought about by changing climate....

Principal Investigator: Dredge, Linda
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and her assistant will map the terrain and take soil and rock samples for laboratory studies....

Principal Investigator: Bell, Trevor
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1990 1988
Summary: This research is an extension of previous fieldwork completed in 1988 and 1989. Mapping surficial deposits and reconstructing former ice limits and sea level adjustments, investigations of landforms and associated sediments, collection and dating of organic material pertaining to terrestrial and raised marine deposits, and mapping distributions of glacial erratics will be undertaken....

Principal Investigator: Falck, Hendrik
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his assistant will visit all known gold and mineral resource occurances in the Yellowknife area. The area immediately around the showing will be mapped as to rock types, structures and mineral resources. Samples are returned to town and analyzed for chemcials and minerals....

Principal Investigator: Dixon, O.A.
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To conduct geological mapping, measurement of stratigraphic sections (rock layering) and collection of rock and fossil samples for future lab analysis and cataloguing....

Principal Investigator: Mitchell, Roger H.
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: Geological studies, specifically an examination of two special features: Kimberlite diatremes and recent volcanic rocks....

Principal Investigator: Jones, Brian
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To measure, sample and identify stratigraphic sections (rock layering) through selected formations and to collect fossils (Silurian and Devonian brachiopods)....

Principal Investigator: Neilsen, Peter A.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To undertake a study of the geologic formations of the area. The purpose of the study is to obtain a better understanding of the evolution of the rocks of the area....

Principal Investigator: Lambert, R. St. J.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To undertake a field study and reconnaissance of the Canadian Shield in the area. Particular emphasis will be given to age analysis of these rocks. The study has practical application in relation to the origin and distribution of uranium deposits....

Principal Investigator: Deutsch, Ernst R.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To undertake a study of the magnetism of very old rocks. This project will assist in identifying how far Greenland has drifted from continental Canada over the past 100 million years....
