Principal Investigator: Knox, Bernadette
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5565. The purpose of this project is designed to understand the environment in which the volcanic rocks were formed. The styles of mineralization will be looked at to understand if they formed at the same time as the volcanoes or much later. This work will be done by analyzing rock chemistry, and looking at very thin piec...

Principal Investigator: Cobbett, Rose
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4696. The objective is to use geochemistry (composition of rocks) and geochronology (dating of rocks) to characterize volcanic rocks in order to better understand the environment that they were formed in and in turn learn about the tectonic history of western North America through Paleozoic time (~541 - 252 Million years). ...

Summary: The objective is to use geochemistry (composition of rocks) and geochronology (dating of rocks) to characterize volcanic rocks in order to better understand the environment that they were formed in and in turn learn about the tectonic history of western North America through Paleozoic time (~541 - 252 Million years). Results will be published in a series of Yukon Geological Survey publications, se...

Principal Investigator: DeWolfe, Michelle
Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: This research is focused on increasing the understanding of the geological history of the Sunset Lake area through a detailed examination of ancient volcanic rocks exposed in this area. This work will be conducted mostly by hiking on foot. Zodiac boat with 25hp outboard motor or canoe will be used to reach the start of the hike each day. The hikes will be no more than 2 km from the lakeshore. D...

Principal Investigator: Williams, Benjamin P
Licensed Year(s): 2014
Summary: Through detailed mapping, select transects, and comprehensive sampling, a geochemical comparison of three Archean volcanic belts in the Slave craton (Northwest Territories) will help advance the knowledge of stratigraphy, and magmatic evolution within each belt. Detailed Mapping: traversing (walking) over bedrock outcrops, examining lithology’s, notes and picture taking, and sample collecting....

Principal Investigator: Bleeker, Wouter
Licensed Year(s): 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994
Summary: The researchers will preform daily geological traverses by foot and by boat with occassional fixed wing support. Proposed products of this project includes geological compilation maps, a collection of geochemical, geochronological, petrological and structural rock samples and computerized data....

Principal Investigator: Lambert, M.B.
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: The researcher will conduct detailed mapping of the area. The researcher will traverse by foot and a small boat on the river systems. In the laboratory, the chemistry and radiometric age of the volcanic rocks units will be examined in order to determine the relationship of the mineral deposits to this volcano....

Principal Investigator: Relf, Carolyn
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: In this ongoing study, the researcher will examine the nature of rocks found in the volcanic belt of the Avialik River area. This work will help to determine the amount of base metals and precious metals found in this belt of rocks. In addition, the movement of rocks (in the past) along a fault line will be examined. Geological mapping (field work) will be done in the summer while analyses of t...

Principal Investigator: Peterson, Tony D.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The research is part of a program focussed on understanding the Proterozoic intraplate tectonics of the Churchill Province. Petrological studies of the strongly potassic volcanic rocks of the Baker Lake Group are intended to assess their potential as diamond source rocks and to investigate the history of their mantle source regions....

Principal Investigator: Gebert, James
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The Researchers will carry out geological bedrock mapping of a portion of an ancient volcanic belt. The purpose of the project is to produce a 1:15,000 scale geology map of the study area....
