Quaternary Geology of the Winter Lake Map Area
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....


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....


Palynology, stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Christopher, the Hassel Bastion Ridge Strand Fiord and the Kanguk formations on Amund Ringnes and Axel Heiberg Islands
Principal Investigator: Hills, L.V.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The purpose of this research is to examine the fossil spores, pollen and dinoflagellates found in the sediments of Amund Ringnes and western Axel Heiberg Islands. Additional data will be collected on the rock formations and mineral content of the areas. This research provides information on the past life history of the region as well as information about the petroleum potential....


Coastal retreat and shoreface dynamics on the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula
Principal Investigator: Hequette, Arnaud
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The research will involve the survey of cliffs and beaches located along the shoreline of the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula near Atkinson Point. This information will assist in determining if the shoreline has changed. Measurements will also be taken for water depth in the nearby lagoons and bays. Sediments will be collected from all sites visited for further laboratory analyses....


Impact of fire and climate change on a boreal lake
Principal Investigator: Moser, Katrina
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher will collect samples of sediment and water from small lakes along Highways 5 and 6 between Fort Smith and Hay River. She will be identifying different species of diatoms (small organisms that live in the water) and conducting a number of chemical analyses on the water. Additional data will be collected on the timing of the most recent fire as well as the area's geology and plant c...


Congener Patterns of Contaminants in Fish and Sediments of the Mackenzie River Basin
Principal Investigator: Fisk, Aaron
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher plans to take samples of sediments and fish from sites near the three settlements in order to determine the types of contaminants that are present in the environment as well as those that collect or accumulate in the tissues of fish. This study will benefit other studies that have examined contaminants in NWT wildlife as fish are preyed upon by a variety of wildlife species. The r...


Marine geological and geophysical studies in Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay during 1993
Principal Investigator: MacLean, Brian
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1990
Summary: This survey will take place from a ship travelling through the Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay region. The researchers will collect information on the history and characteristics of the seabed. Some samples of sediments on the seafloor will be taken for further analyses. Transfer of a few of the ship's crew may take place at Cape Dorset but all other activities will take place in locations remote ...


Quaternary geology of the Lac de Gras and Aylmer Lake areas
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...


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...


Investigations of presence and concentration of chlorinated organic industrial compounds and pesticides in lake sediment and fish from lakes of the Belcher Islands
Principal Investigator: Hermanson, Mark
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1990
Summary: We will collect and analyze sediments and fish collected from Imitavik, Annak and Kasegalik Lakes in order to assess the type and levels of contaminants present. Kasegalik Lake contains fish that are considerably different in size that those from other lakes and, since the accumulation of contaminants in fish are related to both the size and the age of the fish, it is possible that fish collected...
