Summary: The objective of the program is to collect information regarding the surficial geology of the Great Bear River at the location of the proposed pipeline watercourse crossing. This information will be used to determine the depth to bedrock as part of the information for a river crossing design, and for use in the design of a proposed horizontal directional drill (HDD) crossing at this location. S...

Summary: To study the development of Devonian reefs, as exposed in areas and roadcuts between Hay River and Fort Simpson. This is to better understand the different types of reefs that grew in the area 370 million years ago, and how they formed large bodies of li...

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...

Summary: Two people will be transported to the field sites via helicopter from Norman Wells. All ground work is done on foot. Data collection involves photography of rock outcrops, measurement of stratigraphic sections using a tape measure, description of outcrops, and selective sampling of about 100 fist-sized rock samples using a geological hammer....

Principal Investigator: Beauchamp, Benoit
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991
Summary: Field work consists of measuring stratigraphic sections on Northwestern Ellesmere Island, using a 1.5 m Jacob's Staff. Samples for lithology, paleontology and geochemistry will be taken at interval. This will be done to gain an understanding of the stratigraphic relationships of the Carboniferous & Permian strata in the Sverdrup basin and to evaluate the resource potential (oil, gas, minerals) of...

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....
