NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Gilbert, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991 1990 1988
Summary: The researcher and his team will: measure the water flowing into the fiord and the water in the fiord; examine the sediments using an echo sounder that shows that water depths and the layers of sediment down to bedrock; photograph the sea floor; collect samples of the sea floor. Small animals (shells, worms etc) will be preserved for later study. Sediment samples will be studied in detail....

Principal Investigator: Sharpe, David R.
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: Mr. Sharpe, along with other geologists and students, are continuing to investigate the way the glaciers shaped the landscape on southern Victoria Island. They will be collecting samples of rock, soil, and fossils in order to determine the source and age of different landforms. This information will be used to produce a map of the glacial geology of this area....

Principal Investigator: Falck, Hendrik
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Mr. Falck will be investigating the gold-bearing rock formations around Yellowknife....

Principal Investigator: Hollinshead, G.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To conduct a study of the rates of sedimentaiton in the Liard and Mackenzie rivers. The sedimentation rate will be corelated to the types of vegetation in the study areas....

Principal Investigator: Gilbert, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To undertake a survey of the nearshore environment, including collection of sediment samples, measuring sediment and rock layers, taking sea bottom soundings and water current measurements; to obtain a number of deep water cores from the fiord sea floor....

Principal Investigator: Brigham, Julie K.
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: As part of a Mastre's degree to study the glacial history of the area. The raised marine terraces will be studied. Glacial and glaciomarine sediments will also be examined....

Principal Investigator: Bradley, Raymond S.
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To study the recent geological history of the area and to core lake bottoms in an attempt to ascertain the nature of past climates. The core samples will be analysed for the presence of pollen and small organisms (diatoms and foraminifera)....

Principal Investigator: Ritchie, J.C.
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To examine and sample unconsolidated sediments of small unnamed lake for future laboratory analysis and dating. The ultimate objective is to reconstruct the past vegetation and climate of the area....

Principal Investigator: Brigham, Julie K.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: To study glacial and glaciomarine sedimentary rock sequences and to establish data links among four different locations....

Principal Investigator: Shaw, John
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: An investigation of the mechanics of sedimentation in the Pangnirtung Fiord and a study of glacial sediments....
