Summary: Sedimentary rocks of Cambrian age (~500 million years old) are the oldest Phanerozoic strata in the Mackenzie River valley region and record the spread of a shallow sea over much older strata. The approximate age of these rocks is known via trilobite fossils based on reconnaissance collections made in the 1960s and 2010s. The purpose of the project is to make more closely spaced fossil collections...

Principal Investigator: Schneider, Christie L
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: This year, the research purpose is to investigate potential geological localities for work next year, so direct involvement with local communities and guides will be minimal. The researcher intends to identify and talk with people who have outfitting and guide businesses, and those who have knowledge of potential research areas for next summer’s research. The objectives of the proposed researc...

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: Stanton, Linda
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher will study outcrops and collect rock samples to clarify existing information on Hay River area biostratigraphy and paleontology. A comparison of Hay River brachiopods (fossils) will be made with other regional, North American and global collections....

Principal Investigator: Dixon, O.A.
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To conduct geological mapping, measurement of stratigraphic sections (rock layering) and collection of rock and fossil samples for future lab analysis and cataloguing....

Principal Investigator: Jones, Brian
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To measure, sample and identify stratigraphic sections (rock layering) through selected formations and to collect fossils (Silurian and Devonian brachiopods)....
