Principal Investigator: Colpron, Maurice
Licensed Year(s): 1997
Summary: The project will be conducted from 10-12 tent fly-camps within the study area. Each camp will be set-out by helicopter (out of Norman Wells) and will be of a duration of approximately 5-7 days. Our work will consist of daily hikes from our camps, during which our observations of the rock types and mineral occurrences will be noted on 1:50,000-scale topographic maps and air photos. Data collectio...

Principal Investigator: Corcoran, Patricia
Licensed Year(s): 1997
Summary: Research involves mapping and sampling of rocks for geological study. Equipment and all crew members will be transported to and removed from base camps by float plane (twin or turbine otter). A zodiac with 10-20 hsp motors will be used to travel within the study area. Rock samples (5-15 lbs) will be collected, small and large-scale maps will be compiled. The study will provide information about...

Principal Investigator: Pehrsson, Sally J
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1995 1994
Summary: This will be the final summer of work for this phase of mapping in Indin Lake. The mapping data (including structural, petrological, geochemical &geochronological) will enable a detailed geological history of the project area to be constructed. This will include timing of major events, including volcanism, plutonism and sedimentation, and subsequent deformation. The results will be presented in...

Principal Investigator: Pollard, Wayne H
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991 1990 1988
Summary: Fieldwork consists of a combination of mapping surface materials and landforms and where possible retrieving shells from raised marine deposits to determine the date of emergence and the temperature conditions of the oceans when the shell was formed. Observations of ice and icy sediments will also be made. By collecting this data the researchers will be able to see broad patterns in the landscape...

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: Butterfield, Nicholas J
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To conduct two to three detailed geological traverses through the late Proterozic sedimentary deposits of the Borden Basin (Society Cliffs, Victory Bay, Athole Point, Strathcona Sound and Elwin Formations) mapping and collecting samples for micropaleontological, geochemical and sedimentary analyses....

Principal Investigator: Bednarski, Jan
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1988 1987
Summary: An investigation of the Quaternary history of Nansen Sound by mapping surficial deposits, logging stratigraphic sections, and surveying raised marine shorelines....

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: Rainbird, Robert H
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To carry out stratigraphic section measurement, geological mapping and sampling of rocks for laboratory analysis....

Principal Investigator: Mattner, Jorg
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To reconstruct the depositional environment in as much detail as possible, of the Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous sediments nowadays outcropping in the central part of the Northern Richardson Mountains....
