Résumé: The Canadian Beaufort Sea coast undergoes rapid changes in formation, including the formation and changes of spits and barrier islands. Climatic change, combined with a rise in sea levels, could result in longer ice-free periods, increased wave action and higher rates of coastal retreat and erosion. By measuring spits and barrier islands, analyzing the make-up of the coastal sediments, and measu...

chercheur principal: Long, Darrel G.F.
Année(s) de permis: 1993 1992
Résumé: 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....

chercheur principal: Bursey, Terry Lee
Année(s) de permis: 1992
Résumé: 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....

chercheur principal: Harrison, J. Christopher
Année(s) de permis: 1992
Résumé: 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....

chercheur principal: Fyles, John G.
Année(s) de permis: 1992 1991 1990
Résumé: 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)....

chercheur principal: Jol, Harry M.
Année(s) de permis: 1992 1991 1990
Résumé: Surveys will be conducted on the surface of the delta plains. A Pulse Ekko IV ground penetrating radar system will be used to take measurements every 1 to 2 metres using this portable system. These waves due to their frequency (50 to 200 MHz) have no affect on the environment (they are similar to FM radio waves)....

chercheur principal: King, Janet E.
Année(s) de permis: 1992
Résumé: 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....

chercheur principal: Melchin, Michael J.
Année(s) de permis: 1992 1991 1990 1988
Résumé: The researcher will study the distribution of graptolite and what it reveals about the timing of geologic events and ancient geographic distributions. Study will also be continued on the geographic and ecological distribution of particular graptolite species between the deeper-water sediments of the Hazen Formation and the shallower-water strata of the Cape Phillips Formation....

chercheur principal: McIntyre, David J.
Année(s) de permis: 1992 1990
Résumé: 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....

chercheur principal: Hill, Philip R.
Année(s) de permis: 1994 1993 1992
Résumé: The purpose of this project is to understand how the Mackenzie Delta and adjacent coastal regions have developed over the last 18,000 years, since the last glaciation affected the region. The project will includes investigating the sub-surface development of the delta and studying the processes by which sediment supplied by the river is transported to the continental shelf and coastal waters....
