NWT RESEARCH DATABASE

Principal Investigator: Bryant, Wayne
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1995
Summary: The researchers will be involved in a mult-disciplined, integrated and focused series of investigation regarding water quality, hydrology and climatology, fisheries, aquatic, wildlife, vegetation, soils and terrain, and heritage resources. Taken with complementary socio-economic, traditional knowledge and environmental management investigations, this data will be used to prepare an environmental ...

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: Gray, James T.
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: The research team will land by helicopter from the coastguard vessel at a number of sites along the coasts of Resolution Island, Button Islands and Akpatok Island. Researchers will measure with a compass the directions of glacial scratches made by former ice sheet on bedrock and the altitude of old raised beaches, which have been uplifted after glaciers left. Researchers will identify the geolog...

Principal Investigator: Pearce, Cheryl M.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The researcher will continue her long-term study on the physical features of the Mackenzie Delta. Hydrocarbon development, water volume and course changes, and climate change could have major effects on the water and sedimentation patterns of the delta. This study will increase knowledge of sedimentation patterns, shoreline erosion and their relationships with vegetation....

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: Fassnacht, Steven
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: At both the East Channel (Mackenzie Delta) and at Cabin Creek the elevation at various cross-sections will be measured so that a detailed contour map may be plotted. River bed material will be sampled to determine the size distribution of the bed material....

Principal Investigator: Fujino, Kazuo
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and field team will conduct a geological survey and topographic traverse survey around the massive ground ice. They will take samples for ecological study and geochemical analysis....

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....

Principal Investigator: Kershaw, G. Peter
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To evaluate the impacts of the Canol Project (1942-45) upon the topography and plant communities and to determine the natural rehabilitation of disturbed sites....
