Establishing an Appropriate Regulatory Framework and Harmonized Security Measures for the Protection of Mixed-Use Marine Facilities within Canadian Ports
(2014-12-12)The significance of maritime transport security is a factor of the highly vulnerable and variable mode of maritime transportation and the resulting security threats from the various sources of cargo. There is an urgent ... -
Estimating behavioral parameters in animal movement models using a state-augmented particle filter
(2011-03)Data on fine-scale animal movement are being collected worldwide, with the number of species being tagged and the resolution of data rapidly increasing. In this study, a general methodology is proposed to understand the ... -
Estimating fertilization success in marine benthic invertebrates: A case study with the tropical sea star Oreaster reticulatus
(2002-01)Several factors can influence fertilization success, and for marine broadcast spawners, the main constraint is rapid dilution of gametes. Because the measurement of fertilization success in the field is logistically ... -
Estimating ground-level PM2.5 using aerosol optical depth determined from satellite remote sensing
(2006-11)No abstract available. -
Estimating mixed layer nitrate in the North Atlantic Ocean
(2010)Here we present an equation for the estimation of nitrate in surface waters of the North Atlantic Ocean (40 degrees N to 52 degrees N, 10 degrees W to 60 degrees W). The equation was derived by multiple linear regression ... -
Estimating the contribution of bromoform to stratospheric bromine and its relation to dehydration in the tropical tropopause layer
(2006-10)No abstract available. -
Estimating the monthly pCO(2) distribution in the North Atlantic using a self-organizing neural network
(2009)Here we present monthly, basin-wide maps of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO(2)) for the North Atlantic on a 1 degrees latitude by 1 degrees longitude grid for years 2004 through 2006 inclusive. The maps have ... -
Estimation of growth rate, production and age of the marine angiosperm Thalassia testudinum König
(University of Puerto Rico, 1973)There is a linear relation between average growth rate and the average maximum leaf length of Thalassia stands. The ratio production-to-standing crop (wet weight including epiphytes) tends to be constant. New foliage leaves ... -
Estimation of Low-Frequency Wind Stress Fluctuations Over the Open Ocean
(1983)No abstract available. -
Estimation of Temporal Variability in Populations
(1995-10)A common measure of the temporal variability of a population is the standard deviation of the logarithms of successive estimated population sizes, In(D-t). This measure overestimates true temporal variability (the standard ... -
Estimation of total body water in pinnipeds using hydrogen-isotope dilution
(1998-05)No abstract available. -
Ethical and Sustainable Coffee Consumption on Studley Campus, Dalhousie University
(2020-04)This research investigates the prevalence of ethical coffee consumption among Dalhousie University’s undergraduate student population. We analyse how individual perspectives on the impacts of coffee production influence ... -

Evaluating Canada's single-use plastic (SUP) mitigation policies via brand audit and beach cleanup data
(2021-12)Single-use plastics (SUPs) represent a major threat to marine environments and require proactive policies to reduce consumption and improper disposal. A range of SUP mitigation strategies are available to deter SUP use and ... -
EVALUATING PRESCHOOL CHIDLREN’S ENVIRONMENTAL KNOWLEDGE AND CONNECTION TO NATURE USING A GAMES TESTING TOOL
(2022-04)Establishing a connection to nature as a child is a necessity as it is crucial to enhancing children’s cognitive, attitudinal, emotional, and physical development (Driessnack 2009; Giusti et al. 2014; Bratman et al. 2015; ... -
Evaluating Spawning Aggregation Management as a Strategy for Conserving Bonefish (Albula Vulpes) in Cuba
(2021-12)Animals that congregate in large numbers to reproduce in spatially and temporally distinct locations are susceptible to overexploitation. Many fishes form spawning aggregations that are intentionally targeted given high ... -
Evaluating the current aquatic invasive species (AIS) treatment methods and exploring different restoration tools that could aid in ecosystem recovery in freshwater ecosystems of Nova Scotia
(2023-05-30)Invasive fish species in Atlantic Canada present threats to freshwater ecosystems by outcompeting and predating native organisms, resulting in a biodiversity shift. This could also lead to social impacts, especially for ... -
Evaluating the effects of North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) fishery closures on entanglement risk of other large whales from the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) fishery
(2023-12)Since 2018, time-area closures have been implemented in Atlantic Canada to reduce entanglements of North Atlantic right whales (NARW) in fixed-gear fisheries, particularly the Gulf of St. Lawrence (GoSL) snow crab fishery. ...
