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, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Change Movers & Shakers, & Music Makers: Assessing the Feasibility of Introducing a Course on Music, the Environment, and Changemaking at Dalhousie University
(2018-04)Music, the environment, and changemaking are intrinsically linked. With anthropogenic climate change posing one of society’s most pressing issues, can this connection be used to inspire and inform a new generation of ... -

(2008-04)As a leading Canadian university in research and educational experience, the Greening the Campus Movement presents Dalhousie University with the opportunity to make new name for itself. Dalhousie has embarked on some ... -
Characteristics of Metamorphic Textures of the Loch Eil Group of the Moine Highlands
(2022-04)Recent studies on the Moine supergroup suggests that ages over a large extent have been poorly constrained, and lack of research conducted is a result of structural complexity and mineralogical monotony. The purpose of ... -
Characterization of Calcite Amygdules in Devonian Basalts, in the McArras Brook Formation, Nova Scotia
(2024-04)Along the North Shore of Nova Scotia, Canada vesicular basalts in the McArras Brook Formation are host to carbonate amygdules and veins. These basalts are interbedded within a well characterized Devonian strata but have ... -
