New ischnacanthid acanthodians from the Lower Devonian of the Mackenzie Mountains, NT, Canada
Principal Investigator: Hermus, Chelsea
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: The main objective of the project is to collect fossils of two specific groups of early fishes (acanthodians and heterostracans) to supplement specimens already collected for research projects at the University of Alberta. The field party plans to journe...


Biostratigraphy and sedimentology of Middle Cambrian deep-water deposits (Rockslide Formation), Mackenzie Mountains
Principal Investigator: Pratt, Brian R.
Licensed Year(s): 2012 2002 2000 1998
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...


The Evolution and Interrelationships of Lungfish
Principal Investigator: Cumbaa, Stephen L
Licensed Year(s): 2010 2008 1997 1995
Summary: The researchers will collect samples of Devonian-age rocks in which evidence of fossil fish (primarily lungfish) are present and take them back to the museum laboratory for preparation, study and comparison with other samples in the Museum's collection. All work to be done by hand tools in the field (hammers and chisels)....


Trilobite Systematics and Event Stratigraphy of the Paleozoic.
Principal Investigator: Chatterton, Brian D.E.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991
Summary: Rock samples will be collected for processing in the lab. Some of these rocks will be processed for fossils (primarily silicified trilobites) which will be photographed and described for classification purposes. The data gathered will then be used for understanding the ancient (350-450 million years ago) ecology and the correlation of these rocks. Levels where there are extinctions followed by e...


Palynology, stratigraphy, sedimentology of the Hassel, Bastion Ridge, Strand Fiord, Kanguk and basal Eureka Sound Group. Sverdrup Basin, Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
Principal Investigator: Hills, L.V.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The Researchers will determine the timing and depositional environments for the Hassel, Bastion Ridge, Strand Fiord and Kanguk formations....


Paleolimnology and sedimentology of lakes on the unglaciated terrain of Fosheim Peninsula, Ellesmere Island
Principal Investigator: Wolfe, Alexander P.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The Researcher will continue to investigate lakes on the unglaciated terrain of Fosheim Peninsula to determine the former environments of high and low arctic lakes. By analyzing the physical and chemical properties of the sediments, as well as the preserved biological remains within them, the nature and timing of rapid environmental changes at the close of the last glaciation may be explained....


Devonian Carbonates and Reef Development
Principal Investigator: Pedder, Alan E.H.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher will collect 1/2 to 2 kilogram samples of limestone. These are sent to a lab for processing which leaves small fossils of calcium phosphate. These are studied to determine their age and the conditions of the life of the fossils....
