THE INFLUENCE OF WEATHER AND ICE ON FERRY OPERATIONS: MODELLING PRESENT-DAY EFFECTS TO PREDICT FUTURE TRENDS
(2016-08-24)Ferry performance is influenced to a great degree by environmental factors. Adverse weather and ice conditions can severely restrict the ability to conduct operations in a safe, efficient, and financially viable manner. ... -
THE INFLUENCES OF QUATERNARY PROCESSES ON NATIVE FRESHWATER DIVERSITY IN PATAGONIA: MOLECULAR INSIGHTS FROM THE GALAXIID FISHES
(2011-06-15)Using GIS-based tools and a review of the relevant geological and climatic literature, I attempt to identify the key implications of Quaternary glacial cycles for drainage evolution in eastern Patagonia. In doing so, the ... -
Information Literacy in Nova Scotia: Systematic Mapping of Learning Outcomes
(2021-08-18)Information literacy has never been more important for the functioning of the democratic process, and for autonomy over one’s decisions. The Association for College and Research Libraries (ACRL) created a framework for ... -
INFORMATION PATHWAYS TO POLICY DEVELOPMENT: THE EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF KNOWLEDGE IN PUBLIC HEALTH DECISION MAKING
(2013-08-27)Is public health policy based on scholarly evidence? With the manifold variables that policy makers must consider, is evidence-based policy even realistic? While strategies exist to translate research into policy, a need ... -
