Principal Investigator: King, Roger H.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991 1990 1988
Summary: Dr. King and his team will continue their study of the record of past environmental changes preserved in the sediments of the Truelove Lowland. Once again the focus of their field work will be the sediments that have accumulated in the larger, deeper lakes and the soils in the areas surrounding these lakes....

Principal Investigator: Retelle, Michael J.
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The field school introduces students to the processes operating in the modern physical environment in a glaciated terrain....

Principal Investigator: Smol, John P
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researchers will collect water samples from lakes and ponds to assess the present water quality. Lake and pond mud samples will also be taken to identify algal indications of lake quality....

Principal Investigator: Peddle, Juanetta
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researchers will establish an overview of background levels of contaminants in the Mackenzie River Delta. The study includes collection of large volume water, suspended sediment and grab samples at both inflow and outflow sites of the Mackenzie River Delta. Large volume samples will be extracted at the Inuvik Research Centre, and concentrated before being shipped out for analysis....

Principal Investigator: d'Entremont, Andre
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: Fifty (50) sediment samples will be collected from 6 stations in Inner and Outer Sun Bay, Contwoyto Lake. The samples will be analyzed to determine whether or not there have been changes in contaminant levels since the mine became operational. Fifty (50) additional samples will be taken to look at the benthic organisms which live in the sediments....

Principal Investigator: Morgan, Alan
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researchers will collect sediment samples. Insect fossils will be extracted and analysed. The insect communities recovered will provide an indication of the climatic conditions in the area at the time the sediments were deposited. The age of the sediments will be determined with radiocarbon or other dating methods....

Principal Investigator: Hills, L.V.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The Researchers will study the Kanguk Formation which is the last major marine transgression into the Sverdrup Basin. They will establish the age and environment in which the sediments were deposited. Organic matter will be analyzed to determine the petroleum generation potential of the formation....

Principal Investigator: Burden, Elliott
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990 1988 1987
Summary: The Researcher and associate will collect samples of shale and sandstone from cliffs. They will be taken to Memorial University to be analysed for their remnant magnetization. This research applies in regional correlation studies of marine and terrestrial strata and in site specific studies of the geologic development of this part of the Arctic....

Principal Investigator: Gajewski, Konrad
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2004 2001 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher will collect lake sediment cores from Somerset Island and northwest Cornwallis Island. The pollen and sediment characteristics will be analyzed in a laboratory to reconstruct the vegetation and climate history of the past 8000-9000 years of these regions....

Principal Investigator: Forbes, Donald L
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: The Researchers will use the ARKTOS 5 amphibious vehicle for geophysical surveying in the vicinity of Tuktoyaktuk and the proposed Amauligak pipeline landing site on Richards Island. They will measure nearshore sediment dynamics using wave and current meters at selected locations in the vicinity of the proposed pipeline landing site at North Head....
