NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Hoffman, Paul
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The research team will be based out of Norman Wells, and establish a series of fly camps in the research area between 1 July and 10 August. Travel to fly camps will be by helicopter; travel in the field will be on foot. Fly camps will be low impact, and will be occupied for less than 14 days. All human waste will be buried, and all non-burnable garbage will be packed out. Stratigraphic sections...

Summary: The research team will be transported from Yellowknife to Eyeburry Lake by fixed wing aircraft. From here, the research team will travel approximately 120 km down the Thelon River by canoe, and study the stratigraphy of sediments on the shoreline. Field camps will be located along the river, and will be for one night only. All human waste will be buried, and all non-burnable garbage will be pack...

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: Smith, Roger F.
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: The researchers will conduct a variety of research activities at the study site. Projects include surveys of insects and plants, monitoring glacier movements, collecting data about the area's rocks and soils, assessing changes in the area's climate and environment (using fossils of microscopic marine organisms, chironomids, as indicators), and investigating radio-wave propagation....
