Eulerian and Lagrangian Studies of Circulation on the Scotian Shelf and Adjacent Deep Waters of the North Atlantic with Biological Implications
(2016-08-30)A thorough understanding of circulation and hydrography over the eastern Canadian Shelf remains a major challenge within the field of physical oceanography. Reliable predictions of physical oceanic conditions are of great ... -
Hydrogen supersaturations in the North and South Atlantic - a possible indicator of nitrogen fixation.
(2012-10-30)It has been demonstrated that nitrogen fixation is a source of hydrogen (H2) to the ocean and therefore measurements of H2 concentrations may be used as a possible indicator of nitrogen fixation (Moore, Punshon, Mahaffey, ... -
Mapping and understanding the mean surface circulation of the North Atlantic: Insights from new geodetic and oceanographic measurements
(2012-05-23)The mean dynamic topography (MDT) of the ocean is closely related to the mean surface circulation. The objective of this thesis is to produce estimates of the MDT for the North Atlantic using newly available data from ... -
NORTHERN BOTTLENOSE WHALES IN CANADA: THE STORY OF EXPLOITATION, CONSERVATION, AND RECOVERY
(2021-08-10)Many populations of cetaceans are still recovering from the impacts of whaling and face ongoing, and sometimes increasing, human stressors. However, due to their slow reproductive life history, monitoring trends and responses ... -
VARIABILITY OF CIRCULATION AND SEA ICE OVER THE EASTERN CANADIAN SHELF AND IN THE ADJACENT NORTHERN NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN
(2021-07-14)A significant gap remains in our understanding regarding the temporal-spatial variability of hydrodynamics over the eastern Canadian shelf (ECS) and in the adjacent northern North Atlantic Ocean (nNA). This thesis is a ...
