Principal Investigator: Francis, Don
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his team will carry out fieldwork which includes geological mapping and the collection of approximately 200 fist-sized rock samples for chemical analysis at McGill University. This work is a part of a three year research project which is designed to evaluate the meteoritic origin of the Hudson Bay Arc....

Principal Investigator: Cavell, Patricia A.
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: to determine ages of igneous rock types in the Kaminak Lake region; to determine the Nd, Sr and Pb isotopic composition of the mantle source of the carbonatite intrusion; to deduce a source region and degree of crustal contamination of volcanic (extrusive) and granodioritic (intrusive) host rocks....

Principal Investigator: Hankinson, Flt. LT. K.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1988
Summary: to classify breeding and feeding habitats of snow buntings, wading birds and Arctic hares; use pitfall traps to collect insects; study growth, reproduction and diet of Arctic char; collect bryophytes; map igneous rocks of Esayoo formation; record and map any archaeological sites; record weather observations; collect animal and plant material for carbon isotope ratio analysis and assessment of food...

Principal Investigator: Francis, Don
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To study the marginal rocks of the Muskox Layered Intrusion by mapping and collecting 100 fist-sized rock samples for chemical analysis along the eastern margin of the intrusion from Stanbridge Lake to the Coppermine River; determine the composition of the parental magma of the intrusion and to characterize the process of magma crystallization along the walls of the intrusion; undertake a reconnai...

Principal Investigator: St. Seymour, Karen
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: (a) by employing petrochemical methods to delineate the chemostratigraphy of the Point Lake greenstone belt in the Slave structural Province and demonstrate its relationship with the Yellowknife volcanics; (b) chemically characterize and document the stratigraphy and tectonic style of the Redrock Lake volcanic belt....

Principal Investigator: Mitchell, Roger H.
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: Geological studies, specifically an examination of two special features: Kimberlite diatremes and recent volcanic rocks....
