Fall 2010
The Great Bear magmatic zone, Northwest Territories, hosts numerous giant quartz veins and stockwork zones. These zones can be up to 100m wide and up to 10km long, with two or more generations of quartz. A few of the giant quartz vein zones host base-metal ± uranium mineralization, and some are...

Ice surface temperature, albedo, and surface elevation change of glaciers and ice caps of the Queen Elizabeth Islands, Nunavut, Canada, 1995-2015.
DownloadFall 2017
Inter-annual variability in glacier and ice cap surface mass balance in the Queen Elizabeth Islands (QEI), Arctic Canada, is driven primarily by variability in summer melt. Mean summer (June-August) QEI glacier surface temperatures (LSTs) and shortwave broadband black-sky surface albedo (BSA) are...

Fall 2011
Time lapse imagery, an audio recorder and geophones were used to detect iceberg calving events on the Belcher Glacier, Devon Island, in the Canadian High Arctic, in order to identify the major controls on the rate and style of calving. Eleven calving events were identified between June 4th and...

Kimberlite Indicator Minerals from the Central Mackenzie Valley, Northwest Territories, Canada: A Reconnaissance Geochemistry Survey
DownloadFall 2018
The Central Mackenzie Valley (CMV) area of Northwest Territories is underlain by Precambrian basement belonging to the North American Craton. The potential of this area to host kimberlitic diamond deposits is relatively high judging from the seismologically-defined lithospheric thickness, the age...

Sequence Stratigraphy, Porosity, and Primary Producers of the Middle to Late Devonian Canol Formation, Northwest Territories, Canada
DownloadFall 2022
The Devonian Canol Formation of the Northwest Territories (NWT) is an organic-rich mudstone interval deposited in a tropical marine setting along the west coast of Ancestral North America. This unit preserves a record of local marine conditions in the Middle to Late Devonian, a time characterized...

Subsurface Analysis and Correlation of Cambrian Formations Beneath the Colville Hills, Northern Mainland, Northwest Territories
DownloadSpring 2018
The Lower and Middle Cambrian succession in the Colville Hills region, Northwest Territories consists of the Mount Clark, Mount Cap and Saline River Formations, which were deposited in an epicontinental basin. Significant research had been conducted over the last hundred years to better...

Fall 2010
Land ice is losing mass to the world’s oceans at an accelerated rate. The world’s glaciers contain much less ice than the ice sheets but contribute equally to eustatic sea level rise and are expected to continue to do so over the coming centuries if global temperatures continue to rise. It is...

Spring 2014
The mapping and dating of surficial glacial landforms and sediments across southern Banks Island document glaciation by the northwest Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) during the last glacial maximum. Geomorphic landforms confirm the operation of an ice stream at least 1000 m thick in Amundsen Gulf that...

The genesis of the Gayna River carbonate-hosted Zn-Pb deposit
Fall 2009
Geochemical analyses on samples from the Mississippi Valley Type Gayna River deposit, Northwest Territories, Canada, have resulted in the definition of three ore stages and a deposit genesis model. Pb/Pb and Re/Os isotopic analyses indicate that the mineralization at Gayna River was emplaced...

Spring 2014
Tidewater outlet glaciers drain approximately 47% of the ~105,000 km^2 covered by ice caps in the Queen Elizabeth Islands of Nunavut, Canada, suggesting that iceberg discharge may be an important process in the mass balance of these ice caps. Seasonal and inter-annual velocity changes of...
