20001998 Summary:
The researcher will study half a billion year old rocks in the Mackenzie Mountains, chartering a helicopter from Watson Lake to install and move light-weight camps and bring back samples. The strata of interest are exposed on mountain sides in remote are...

19961990 Summary:
The objectives of the research are 1) to collect remains of Silurian and Devonian fishes, and 2) to collect remains of Silurian trilobites. Activities are limited to travel, residence at camp locations and collection of fossils. Helicopters will be used to access camp sites. We plan to land at Avalanche Lake on July 15, spending 6 days collecting fossils at Avalanche Lake, followed by one day of t...

Summary:
The collect on the field of paleontological sample is done like geographical sampling by breaking rock with a hammer. Once collect, the micro-remains of vertebrate fossils are extracted with acid preparation in laboratories. Carbonate rocks processed with acetic (vinegar) or formic acid. Rocks with siliceous matrix are generally processed by dissolution of the bone with chloridric acid. Biostrat...

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....

Summary:
The Cambrian period is an interval of geologic time that is poorly known in arctic Canada. Previous studies have been very basic and almost no fossils have been recovered. Sections of sedimentary rock will be measured in detail, with attention focused on the structure of the sediments as well as the presence of fossils. A map will then be constructed showing the layers in which fossils occur. ...

199019881987 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....

1990
Summary:
The Researcher and team will collect and examine fossil materials which will then be deposited with the National Museum of Canada and the Geological Survey of Canada. This is a continuation of a study begun in 1973 by R. West and M. Dawson involving the biostratigraphy and paleontology of the Eureka Sound Formation....

1976
Summary:
To carry out quaternary marine biostratigraphy research. Wave cut cliffs between Broughton and Nairpang Fiord will be surveyed and samples collected for analysis of benthic foraminifera. This work will aid in clarifying the relationships between glacial and marine deposits near Broughton and Clyde River....

Summary:
Continuing biostratigraphic study of the Eureka Sound formation, looking for fossil vertebrates and all geologically significant data....
