A Search for Neutral Carbon towards two z=4.05 Submillimetre Galaxies, GN20 and GN20.2
(2009-08-26)Using the IRAM Plateau-de-Bure Interferometer (PdBI) we have searched for the upper fine structure line of neutral carbon (CI(2->1), nu_rest = 809 GHz) and 12CO(J=7->6) (nu_rest=806GHz) towards the submillimetre galaxies ... -
A search for the submillimetre counterparts to Lyman break galaxies
(2002-04-04)We have carried out targetted sub-mm observations as part of a programme to explore the connection between the rest-frame UV and far-IR properties of star-forming galaxies at high redshift, which is currently poorly ... -
Search For Trapped Antihydrogen
(2011-1/201)We present the results of an experiment to search for trapped antihydrogen atoms with the ALPHA antihydrogen trap at the CERN Antiproton Decelerator. Sensitive diagnostics of the temperatures, sizes, and densities of the ... -
Seasonal and Age-Dependent Dietary Partitioning between the Great Black-Backed and Herring Gulls
(2011-11)Studies of seabird diets may reveal subtle ways in which sympatric species partition resources to facilitate co-existence. We studied the variability and partitioning of diets between the Herring (Larus argentatus) and ... -
Seasonal and spatial variations in methyl chloride in NW Atlantic waters
(2007-05)[1] Methyl chloride concentrations were measured in the upper 200 m of the water column of the NW Atlantic during three cruises along the same track in spring, summer and fall of 2003. Distinct seasonality was apparent, ... -
Seasonal changes in buoyancy and diving behaviour of adult grey seals
(2000-08)Phocid seals go through dramatic seasonal changes in body mass and composition as a result of the spatial and temporal separation of foraging, reproduction and moulting. These changes in body fat content and body mass ... -
Seasonal cycles of O-3, CO, and convective outflow at the tropical tropopause
(2006-08)No abstract available. -
A seasonal study of methyl bromide concentrations in the North Atlantic (35 degrees-60 degrees N)
(2006-04)Methyl bromide concentrations in and over the North Atlantic were examined during spring, summer, and fall 2003. The results demonstrate that seasonality plays a great role in controlling methyl bromide fluxes from and ... -
Seasonal variability of the inorganic carbon system in the Amundsen Gulf region of the southeastern Beaufort Sea
(2011-01)During a year-round occupation of Amundsen Gulf in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago dissolved inorganic and organic carbon (DIC, DOC), total alkalinity (TA), partial pressure of CO(2) (pCO(2)) and related parameters were ... -
Sediment Consolidation and Permeability at the Central Oregon Margin, Ocean Drilling Program Sites 891 and 892
(1994-03-15)Sediment hydraulic conductivity is a critical and highly variable control on the consolidation of accretionary prism materials. The consolidation state and pore pressure conditions within an accretionary prism ultimately ... -
Sediment Quality Analysis and Related Management Approaches in Halifax Harbour [graduate project].
(2015-11-23)Halifax Harbour is one of the world’s deepest harbours (AMEC Earth & Environmental, 2011). It is sheltered, spacious, and has minimal currents and tides (Robinson, Hui, Soo, & Hellou, 2009). The ice free port leaves the ... -
Sediment-water column fluxes of carbon, oxygen and nutrients in Bedford Basin, Nova Scotia, inferred from Ra-224 measurements
(2013)Exchanges between sediment pore waters and the overlying water column play a significant role in the chemical budgets of many important chemical constituents. Direct quantification of such benthic fluxes requires explicit ... -
The Sedimentary Environment of the Late Cretaceous St. Mary River Formation, Southwestern Alrerta
(1985-04-15)It is the purpose of this study to interpret the sedimentary environment which produced the St. Mary River Formation (SMRF) . This study attempts to expand on the preliminary sedimentological work of previous authors py ... -
Sedimentation of the Barrow Group, Exmouth Plateau, Northwestern Australia
(1989-04-15)The Exmouth Plateau is a major promontory of the north western Australian continental shelf and ranges from longitude 111oE to 117oE throughout southern latitudes 16o to 21o. This plateau has an aerial extent of approximately ... -
Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of Canso and Riversdale Fluvial Strata at Broad Cove, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
(1986-04-15)The cliff section located on the northeast shore of Broad Cove, Cape Breton, contain fluvial strata of both the Canso and Riversdale Group. The Canso strata are composed of two facies assemblages. The Coarse Member facies ... -
Sedimentology and Tectonic Activities in Rawdon Hills, Nova Scotia
(1986-04-15)The general Geology and Sedimentology of the Horton sedimentary deposits of Rawdon Hills were studied by using two drill cores and a few outcrops available in the area. Vitrinite reflectance and fission track method ... -
Sedimentology of Fluvial Red Beds at Waddens Cove, Cape Breton County, Nova Scotia.
(1985-04-15)A red bed unit in the Late Pennsylvanian Morien Group at Waddens Cove, Cape Breton County, Nova Scotia, occurs stratigraphically between the fine upper Morien Group and the coarse lower Morien Group. A succession of sandstone ... -
The Sedimentology of Glaciofluvial Deposits Near Upper Nine Mile River, Nova Scotia
(1984-04-15)Four sand and gravel pits east of Upper Nine Mile River expose parts of a 25 km long ridge of unconsolidated glaciofluvial sediment. Twenty five (25) stratigraphic sections were measured along fresh exposures in the ...
