I. Hydrologic and hydraulic aspects of northern hydrocarbon development; II. Sediment-related aspects of northern hydrocarbon development.
Principal Investigator: Jasper, Jesse
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researchers will work in collaboration with other scientists to study water and sediment characteristics at certain Inland Water Directorate sites in the Mackenzie Delta. This study will be useful for evaluating impacts of hydrocarbon development as well as delta flooding on water flow, wildlife and vegetation in the delta. In addition, contaminants in water and sediments will be measured....


Wager Bay Basin Overview
Principal Investigator: Swyripa, Murray
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The Water Resources Division, along with the Inland Waters Directorate and Canadian Parks Service, are planning a cooperative water quality program for the Wager Bay area. This program will involve measuring stream flow rates and sampling for water quality at a number of sites on rivers that flow into Wager Bay within the proposed Wager Bay National Park area. As well, water and sediment samples...


Implications of climate change for slope stability in the Mackenzie Valley
Principal Investigator: Dyke, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: In this ongoing study, the frequency and characteristics of landslides occurring in the Mackenzie Valley area are examined. I am trying to determine the roles that forest fires, climate changes and water flow in rivers play in the location and number of landslides. The field work will involve taking measurements on past landslides that include measuring permafrost features and taking core samples...


Mackenzie Delta Hydrology and Ecosystem Interactions
Principal Investigator: Marsh, Philip
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: This long-term, ongoing study is aimed at understanding the factors controlling water levels and the availability of nutrients in a variety of lakes in the Mackenzie Delta. This work will allow us to better understand the natural Mackenzie Delta ecosystem, and to make better predictions of the effect of environmental change on the Delta. Cores of sediment will be collected from lake bottoms to d...


East Channel (Mackenzie Delta) Scour Hole Investigations
Principal Investigator: Fassnacht, Steven
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: At both the East Channel (Mackenzie Delta) and at Cabin Creek the elevation at various cross-sections will be measured so that a detailed contour map may be plotted. River bed material will be sampled to determine the size distribution of the bed material....


Emplacement of Debris Flows on Continental Slopes, Baffin Bay and Labrador Sea
Principal Investigator: Hiscott, Richard
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researchers will: map the geometry of debris-flow (mudflow) deposits; document bottom slopes and flow paths; relate debris-flow activity to Pleistocene history of the area and sea-bed cores and use this data to quantify the subaqueous (below water) debris-flow process....


Licence #2284
Principal Investigator: Grey, Bryan J.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: 1. To obtain relative sediment loadings in the Liard River and the Mackenzie River above and below its junction with the Liard. 2. To measure spring and summer flow patterns in the Liard River at several sites along the propsoed Liard higway....
