NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Long, Darrel G.F.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The 1993 field work represents a continuation of field work carried out in northern Ellesmere Island in 1985 and Devon Island in 1992. The research involves the examination of the Lower Cambrian strata located on Ellesmere Island....

Principal Investigator: Bursey, Terry Lee
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher and his team will study several well-exposed areas of sedimentary stata of Archean age within the Slave Province, Northwest Territories, in order to evaluate criteria for correlation and depositional environments....

Principal Investigator: Harrison, J. Christopher
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher and his team will engage in bedrock mapping and related geological studies in order to produce 1:250 000 scale geological maps of Bathurst, Prince Patrick and Eglinton Islands....

Principal Investigator: Fyles, John G.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The researcher will revisit the "beaver peat" locality and will measure, describe, photograph and sample the exposed peaty material in greater detail than before. A detailed search will be made for fossil bones and beaver-gnawed sticks, as well as for additional fossils. Other sites where similar substrates containing fossil wood or other plant materials will also be visited (or revisited)....

Principal Investigator: King, Janet E.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: Mapping of bedrock and surfical geology will be conducted in numerous parts of the geologic Slave Province. Specific studies of the bedrock, such as its stratigraphy, the nature of the granitic rocks, how the rocks deformed and metamorphosed, and isotopic dating will provide insight on the geologic evolution of this part (Slave Province) of the Canadian Sheild....

Principal Investigator: McIntyre, David J.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1990
Summary: The Researchers will collect rock samples for study of fossil algae (dinoflagellates) and will determine the geological age. They will correlate findings with similar material from wells and will determine climate and environment conditions at the time the rocks were deposited....

Principal Investigator: Beauchamp, Benoit
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991
Summary: The Research will continue to measure thickness of strata and collect rock samples from various localities on northwestern Ellesmere Island. The purpose of the work is to understand and reconstruct the geography of the area between 325 and 245 million years ago. years ago....

Principal Investigator: Burn, Chris R
Licensed Year(s): 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The Research will continue to examine the hydrology of frost heave in the ideal environment of a lake-bottom. In addition some experimental trials of frost heave in equipment of various sizes will be conducted in winter time. Summer activities are planned in the outer Delta to examine the distribution of ice in the upper layers of permafrost and to investigate permafrost conditions beneath shallow...

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: Vincent, Jean-Serge
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: 1. Sections along rivers and the coast will be examined to determine the nature of the sediments and their fossil content. 2. Sites on the mainland, sections on northwestern Banks Island, Sachs Harbour (Duck Hawk Bluffs) and Worth Point area will be visited and similar investigations undertaken....
