NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Lane, Larry S
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The research team proposes three activities. Geological mapping at a 1:50,000 scale, carried out by the Geological Survey of Canada, will provide an updated and detailed geological map of the Aklavik Range, which was previously mapped at reconnaissance scale in the 1960's and 70's. Stratigraphic studies will consist of detailed measurement and description of specific rock units of Jurassic and Cr...

Principal Investigator: Wilson, Mark V.H.
Licensed Year(s): 2013 1998 1996 1990
Summary: The objectives of the research are 1) to collect remains of Silurian and Devonian fishes, and 2) to collect remains of Silurian trilobites. Activities are limited to travel, residence at camp locations and collection of fossils. Helicopters will be used to access camp sites. We plan to land at Avalanche Lake on July 15, spending 6 days collecting fossils at Avalanche Lake, followed by one day of t...

Principal Investigator: Fyles, John G.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: On Melville and Bathurst Islands, the Researchers will locate and describe the occurrence of high-level gravels and sands, record evidence of the flow-direction of the rivers in which they originated and search for plant and insect fossils that may provide clues about the age of these deposits and about the climate and environment at that time....

Principal Investigator: Jung, Arthur
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To study the structural geometry and history of the Sverdrup Basin strata exposed within this area. To study the mechanism by which the vergence of the thrust fault changes along the strike of the Blue Mountain Thrust. To measure stratigraphic sections within this field area....

Principal Investigator: Dixon, O.A.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To study Lower Paleozoic stratigraphy, sedimentology and geological history in the Canadian Arctic Islands. The specific project planned to begin in 1987 concerns Silurian shelf-margin facies on NW Devon and Ellesmere Islands. The field work planned for 1987 would include measurement of stratigraphic sections and collection of rock and fossil samples for subsequent laboratory study....

Principal Investigator: Dixon, O.A.
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To carry out a study of Lower Paleozoic stratigraphy and geological history of the Somerset-Cornwallis-Devon Islands region. This would include geological mapping, measurement of stratigraphic sections, and collection of rock and fossil samples for subsequent laboratory study....

Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To carry out a study of Lower Paleozoic stratigraphy and geological history of the Somerset-Cornwallis- Devon Islands region. This would include geological mapping, measurement of stratigraphic sections, and collection of rock and fossil samples of subsequent laboratory study....

Principal Investigator: Jones, Brian
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: As part of continuing study of certain rock types to collect fossil & rock samples and measure stratigraphic (rock layering) sections for future lab. analysis and dating....

Principal Investigator: Dixon, O.A.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: To obtain further understanding of the geological history of the Somerset-Cornwallis Islands region. Field work includes limited geological mapping, measurement of stratigraphic sections and the collection of rock and fossil specimens for further laboratory and analysis....
