Stratigraphic and paleontological reconnaissance of Devonian geology, Hay River area, NWT
Principal Investigator: Schneider, Christie L
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: This year, the research purpose is to investigate potential geological localities for work next year, so direct involvement with local communities and guides will be minimal. The researcher intends to identify and talk with people who have outfitting and guide businesses, and those who have knowledge of potential research areas for next summer’s research. The objectives of the proposed researc...


National Museum of the American Indian Cardinal Direction Markers Project
Principal Investigator: Pepper Henry, James
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: The goal of this project is to collect a sample of the Acasta Gneiss from the Slave Craton to be used to represent the peoples and indigenous communities of Canada on the grounds of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian in...


Collaborative Research: A Sequence, Chemo- and Biostratigraphic Study of Late Early Cambrian Rocks, Southern Selwyn Basin, Mackenzie Mountains, NWT
Principal Investigator: Pope, Michael
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002 2001
Summary: The Early Cambrian is an important time in Earth history for it records the widespread radiation of animals during significant climatic, sea level, and tectonic changes. This project will be a stratigraphic, geochemical, and paleontological study of high...


Biostratigraphy and sedimentology of Middle Cambrian deep-water deposits (Rockslide Formation), Mackenzie Mountains
Principal Investigator: Pratt, Brian R.
Licensed Year(s): 2012 2002 2000 1998
Summary: The researcher will study half a billion year old rocks in the Mackenzie Mountains, chartering a helicopter from Watson Lake to install and move light-weight camps and bring back samples. The strata of interest are exposed on mountain sides in remote are...


Distribution of Late (Frasnian) Devonian Crinoids in the Hay River and Mackenzie River Regions of the Northwest Territories, Canada
Principal Investigator: McIntosh, George
Licensed Year(s): 2000
Summary: This research involves how groups of marine invertebrate fossils, crinoids evolved over a 6 million year interval designated as the Frasnian Stage. The researcher will study the rock exposures along the Mackenzie Highway between Hay River/Enterprise and Fort Simpson. The fossils to be collected rarely exceed 3 cm and collecting will be restricted to weathered surfaces composed of loose material. ...


Investigation of Late Devonian faunal extinction's in the ancient tropical ocean in western Canada: Hay River area-southern Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Day, James E.
Licensed Year(s): 1997
Summary: The Hay River region features a complete well preserved Upper Devonian deposits that accumulated over a span of time when known or suspected major species extinctions, sea level & climate changes have been detected in other sites in North America, Europe & Asia. Goals of the project are to: 1) collect new detailed fossil data to allow for more accurate age estimates of Upper Devonian deposits in ...


Paleontology and sedimentology of Late Proterozoic Little Dal Reefs, Mackenzie Mountains, NWT.
Principal Investigator: Turner, Elizabeth C
Licensed Year(s): 2001 1999 1998 1996 1994 1992 1991 1989 1988
Summary: Two people will be transported to the field sites via helicopter from Norman Wells. All ground work is done on foot. Data collection involves photography of rock outcrops, measurement of stratigraphic sections using a tape measure, description of outcrops, and selective sampling of about 100 fist-sized rock samples using a geological hammer....


Brachiopod Stratigraphy and Sedimentology of Upper Devonian Strat in Hay River, Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Stanton, Linda
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher will study outcrops and collect rock samples to clarify existing information on Hay River area biostratigraphy and paleontology. A comparison of Hay River brachiopods (fossils) will be made with other regional, North American and global collections....
