This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5403.
This research will be guided by three objectives: 1) determine the largest possible contribution of mantle-derived heat sources; 2) establish a modern structural and tectono-metamorphic framework; and 3) evaluate evidence for mantle-derived heat input.
Studies will involve field observations and targeted small-vol...

This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5409.
This proposal aims to investigate three of the most intriguing questions of the Neoproterozoic Era (1000-541 million years ago, Ma) by performing a field-based examination of sedimentary rocks in the Mackenzie Mountains of Northwest Territories. These questions include: 1) what are the stratigraphic expressions and si...
