Principal Investigator: Sibbald, Carey
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008
Summary: This licence is issued for the scientific research application #912. The objective of this research is to provide baseline information on the terrain in and around the Thor Lake area. Filed observations will allow the researchers to produce a terrain map of the Thor lake area. To do this, the land must be categorized based on landforms, mineral deposits, drainage, slopes and geohazards (fo...

Summary: A new 156 km winter road is proposed, extending from the end of the Ingraham Trail to Lockhart Lake, following a route similar to that of the existing winter road. The objective is to acquire airborne digital imagery (including LiDAR and digital video) data to produce maps; to determine fish presence/absence in streams around the route and fish utilization of habitat, to determine potential fish h...

Summary: The goal of this project is to compile updated baseline information/knowledge on the types, regional distribution, and controls (e.g. forests fires, climate change) of landslides. The main objectives of the field reconnaissance at landslide sites are six-fold: 1) to validate previous data collected through air photo interpretation and remote sensing techniques; 2) to carry out detailed mapping at ...

Summary: The Beaufort Seabed Mapping Project is designed to assess the environmental impact of offshore hydrocarbon exploration and transportation on the renewable resources of the Beaufort Sea. This project has 2 objectives: 1) seabed sampling using grab sampler...

Principal Investigator: Graburn, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 2004 2003
Summary: The objective of this program is to carry out aerial reconnaissance and preliminary site investigations, topographical aerial mapping, and surface reconnaissance in the general vicinity of the proposed route for the Mackenzie Gas Project. Information fro...

Principal Investigator: Durham, J. Wyatt
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1990
Summary: The researchers will collect specimens of fossil molluscs exposed in critical areas. This involves simply breaking rocks loose from their location. No excavation deeper than 1 foot is contemplated. Localities will be marked on topographic maps and measurements of sections exposed in river banks will be made. Analysis will be completed in California. Significant specimens will be returned to t...

Principal Investigator: Kerr, Daniel E.
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher will be conducting geological field work in the region defined by the NTS Winter Lake Map (No. 86A). The work will involve surveying the land features and collecting samples of the rock and sediments in order that this information can be summarized on a geological map....

Principal Investigator: Cumbaa, Stephen L
Licensed Year(s): 1990 1989 1988 1987
Summary: To assess extent of any impact on Geodetic Hills locality by last year's major research and exploration effort; to produce a topographic map of the locality; to sample outlying parts of the forest exposure; to search for vertebrate remains; to survey, map and collect material from sites farther up Fossil Forest River at Strathcona Fjord and to produce topographic map of area sampled last year by N...

Principal Investigator: Locke III, William W.
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To study the glacial chronolgoy and research moraine deposits in the area. Landforms and glacial topography will be mapped and samples taken for laboratory analysis and dating purposes....
