Significant is defined as a depth and breadth of experience normally acquired with having performed a broad range of related activities in the field for a period of at least three years. Field Health and Safety Plan PCSP advises that every field party member has a valid first aid certificate at the appropriate level for the risks involved with the planned field work. It is also recommended that several field party members have valid wilderness first aid training given the remote locations of many Arctic field studies. Please describe your field health and safety plan, including your employer’s requirement, insurance, training and the use field equipment, as applicable. http://132.156.119.25/pcsp/(S(kjbkiaqri1nyvw4512cu3wn1))/Secure/Arctic/PrtLogistics... 2016-10-26 Step 1 Page 4 of 19 Prior to fieldwork, it is standard procedure that NRCan Field Party Leaders complete the required Earth Science Sector (ESS) Field Safety Checklist. This form involves (1) discussion with each member of the field party on potentially hazardous situations that might arise during fieldwork, (2) an assessment of necessary equipment and clothing in order to meet any foreseen dangerous situations and (3) a summary of required training for each member of the field party and documentation of the completion of said training. The Checklist must be signed off by the Field Party Leader's Director. TRAINING: ESS has very specific rules regarding mandatory field training for field participants. Training is by the GSC Division which houses the employees. For fieldwork in remote locations in the Arctic these include: First Aid training (standard and/or wilderness), Possession and Acquisition License (Firearms), Hands-on Shooting, Bear/Predator Awareness & Helicopter Awareness. All field participants must also obtain medical assessments confirming that they are fit for remote fieldwork. INSURANCE: All NRCan employees have insurance. Students and non-government employees will obtain private travel insurance.

The PCSP requests detailed logistics requirements but having some flexibility in your plans may increase your project’s feasibility. In the box below, please discuss your flexibility regarding field dates, aircraft type and aircraft sharing. You may also use this space to discuss any details regarding special requirements for your requested aircraft support (e.g., mounting a camera under an aircraft, tracking wildlife). Fuel drum positioning: Dates are highly flexible as long as fuel is positioned at cache by late June, prior to the start of fieldwork. The proposed fuel cache, Head of Paquet Bay, has been selected because it appears to be a flat area conveniently located for our purposes. We will confirm this with interpretation of airphotos. Prior to fuel caching, its suitability may need to be confirmed by pilots. Daily helicopter-support: Helicopter required is Bell 407 with basket. No floats are required. Calculations are based on an average of 3 hours of helicopter travel per day. The field team consists of 3 teams of 2 geologists, 6 people total, and therefore request a helicopter with such seating capacity. We have some flexibility in terms of field dates, +/- 1-2 days at either end of the field season, so long as fieldwork consists of 42 consecutive days (6 weeks).

The Proceedings may include research recommendations, uncertainties, and the rationale for decisions made during the meeting. Proceedings may also document when data, analyses or interpretations were reviewed and rejected on scientific grounds, including the reason(s) for rejection. As such, interpretations and opinions presented in this report individually may be factually incorrect or misleading, but are included to record as faithfully as possible what was considered at the meeting. No statements are to be taken as reflecting the conclusions of the meeting unless they are clearly identified as such. Moreover, further review may result in a change of conclusions where additional information was identified as relevant to the topics being considered, but not available in the timeframe of the meeting.

  • JA LOWDON, JG FYLES, and W. BLAKE, JR.* Both the 2-L Counter
    FRAUi0CARuoN, A'oi . 9, 1967, P. 156-197] GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA RADIOCARBON DATES VI J. A. LOWDON, J. G. FYLES, and W. BLAKE, JR.* Geological Survey of Canada, Ottawa, Canada INTRODUCTION Both the 2-L counter, described in GSC I, and the 5-L counter (GSC IV) were operated routinely during the past year. Approximately half of the determinations reported here were obtained from each coun- ter. The 5-L counter was operated mainly at 1 atm. Again all age calculations have been carried out monthly by an I.B.M. 1620 computer, and are based on a C14 half-life of 5568 ± 30 yr and 0.95 of the activity of the NBS oxalic-acid standard. Ages are quoted in years before 1950. Age errors include: counting errors of sample, background, and standard; error in the half-life of C14; and an error term to account for the average variation of ± 1.5% in the C14 concen- tration of the biosphere during the past 1100 yr. Finite ages are based on the 2 r criterion and "Infinite" ages on the 4Q criterion (GSC II).. No changes have been made in the preparation and purification techniques described in GSC IV. Average background and standard counting rates over the past 12 months are listed in Tables 1 and 2. The monthly average background count is made up of 4 individual daily counts. During the 12-month period, 12 different background preparations were counted in the 2-L counter, and 10 in the 5-L counter.
