Canine Scent Detection of an Invasive Wood-Boring Insect, the Brown Spruce Longhorn Beetle, Tetropium fuscum, in Laboratory Conditions
(2014-03)The brown spruce longhorn beetle (BSLB), Tetropium fuscum, native to Europe and Asia, is an alien wood-boring insect of quarantine significance with established populations in Atlantic Canada. In their non-native range, ... -
The carbon budget of the North Sea
(2005)A carbon budget has been established for the North Sea, a shelf sea on the NW European continental shelf. The carbon exchange fluxes with the North Atlantic Ocean dominate the gross carbon budget. The net carbon budget ... -
Carbon cycle research after Kyoto
(1999-04)Recent progress in research of the global carbon cycle is reviewed and research needs for the immediate future are discussed, in light of the challenge posed to society to come to grips with the problem of man-made climate ... -
Carbon cycling in the Arctic Archipelago: the export of Pacific carbon to the North Atlantic
(European Geosciences Union, 2009-01)The Arctic Ocean is expected to be disproportionately sensitive to climatic changes, and is thought to be an area where such changes might be detected. The Arctic hydrological cycle is influenced by: runoff and precipitation, ... -
Carbon disulfide in the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans
(American Geophysical Union, Washington, DC, 1999-03)No abstract available. -
Carbon Storage in the Acadian Forest: Estimating carbon storage and associated dynamics of a privately owned small woodlot in the Acadian Forest Region.
(2009-03)Restoring carbon sinks in the Acadian Forest Region of Canada has the potential to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, subsequently mitigating the effects of anthropogenic climate change and increasing acidification ... -
Carbonate Petrography and Stratigraphy of Holes 96, 100 and 106, Gays River, Nova Scotia: Implications for Depositional Environment
(1977-03-15)The lead-zinc deposit at Gays River, N. S. has been interpreted by previous studies as a Mississippi Valley type deposit hosted by an ecologic reef complex. Evidence now indicates that the host carbonate complex developed ... -
Carboniferous Fluvial Strata of the Inverness Formation at Finlay Point, Southwest Cape Breton Island.
(1986-04-15)A red bed unit of Westphalian C age at Finlay Point, Mabou Mines, Inverness County, Nova Scotia occurs stratigraphically near the base of the Inverness Formation and is correlated with offshore coal seams in the St. Lawrence ... -
Caregiver accuracy in detecting deception in facial expressions of pain in children
(Elsevier, 2013)Facial expressions provide a primary source of inference about a child’s pain. Although facial expressions typically appear spontaneous, children have some capacity to fake or suppress displays of pain, thereby potentially ... -
Case Study: An examination of agricultural surface water use for crop irrigation in Kings County, Nova Scotia
(2008-04)In 2007, the primary body for managing and protecting our water resources, Nova Scotia Environment (NSE), was directed to develop a comprehensive water resource management strategy for the province. This strategy ... -
Catch It If You Can: Determining the Appropriate Areas for Tree and Shrub Plantings on Dalhousie University’s Four Campuses
(2023-04)In an era of increasingly extreme weather events exacerbated by the climate crisis, cities could benefit greatly from increasing the density of trees and shrubs in their urban landscapes. With three locations in Halifax ... -
Cavity ringdown spectroscopy measurements of the infrared water vapor continuum
(American Institute of Physics Inc, 2002)The measurements of the water vapor continuum were analyzed using infrared cavity ringdown spectroscopy (CRDS) at frequencies of 931.002, 944.195 and 969.104 cm-1. The experiments uses a continuous-wave CO2 laser and an ... -

CENTRAL SCOTIAN SLOPE STABILITY: THE POSSIBLE ROLE OF GAS HYDRATES
(2002-04-15)Gas hydrates are ice-like solids in which large quantities of methane are trapped in a solid phase as a result of suitable pressure and temperature conditions in the presence of an excess supply of methane gas. They are a ... -
Certifications and traceability in the Nunavut seal market: Implications for Inuit rights
(2019-12)As recognized in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), to which Canada is a signatory, Inuit have the right to food, culture, and economic opportunities. Seal hunting is a long-standing ... -
Cetacean Conservation in the Age of Oil and Gas: Minimizing Acoustic Disturbance to the Northern Bottlenose Whale (Hyperoodon ampullatus) through Spatio-temporal Mitigation
(2015-04-22)Offshore oil and gas exploration activities are becoming increasingly common within Canadian waters. As cetacean species rely on sound for a variety of critical life functions, it is poorly understood how sound generated ... -
