Summary: The goal of this study is to use advanced passive telesiesmic equipment to map the geological feature known as the Great Slave Lake shear zone. The planned geophysical survey will use between 9 and 15 instrument sites spaced 10 km apart and situated close to Hwy 5 between Hay River and the northern part of Wood Buffalo National Park. Each site will consist of solar panels, a buried seismometer, an...

Summary: This "Deep Probe" seismic refraction experiment will record energy that is as deep as the Asthenosphere (may be as deep as 200 km below the earth's surface). The experiment makes use of very large explosions that will generate seismic waves of sufficient power at low frequency to tranverse these great distances....

Summary: The Geological Survey of Canada, as part of its on-going research activities, is planning to carry out a geotechnical survey in order to improve certain techniques used in investigating permafrost and ground ice characteristics. The techniques used are shear wave seismic reflection profiling (to determine soil properties) and drilling (to determine the origin of massive ground ice bodies in the v...

Summary: A winter track survey will be undertaken on and nearby various-age seismic lines to determine the utilization of seismic lines by fur-bearers and other wildlife. To determine if and how the distribution and movements of wildlife are affected by seismic lines....
