Exploring the feasibility and desirability of in-house diversion programs for disposable hot beverage cups at the store level in Halifax Regional Municipality
(2014-03)Disposable hot cups are associated with various environmental problems including increased pressure on landfills caused by their disposal. The objective of this study is to support decision-making for improved waste ... -
Fate of Heavy Metals in Passive Wastewater Treatment Systems of the Northwest Territories
(2020-04)Due to unique climatic, geologic, and biologic conditions of northern Canadian landscapes, wastewater management in this region is complex and geographically distinctive. Many regions of the Northwest Territories (NWT) ... -
A Field Geological Study and Analysis of Joint Patterns Related to the Francoeur-Arntfield (Gold Mines) Shear Zone, Beauchastel Township, Temiscamingue County, Abitibi Greenstone Belt, Quebec.
(1980-03-15)Field mapping (1:5000) and study of joints in an area of 7.3 square kilometres centered around the Arntfield Gold Mines, during the summer of 1979, forms the basis for this study. East-striking, north-dipping rocks of ... -
A First-Approximation Windthrow Risk Index for Street Trees on the Halifax Peninsula
(2012-03)Trees in the Halifax Regional Municipality are at particular risk to windthrow because of their proximity to the coast, and the risk of increasing storminess in the future. This study aimed to create a vulnerability index ... -
FIXATION OF SULPHUR DURING FRAMBOIDAL PYRITE DEVELOPMENT IN A PETROLEUM RESERVOIR IN CRETACEOUS VOLCANICS IN THE ANDES: IMPLICATIONS FOR CU METALLOGENESIS
(2002-04-15)El Soldado, Chile, is a giant strata-bound copper deposit hosted in Lower Cretaceous basalt and rhyodacite. Previous work suggested that copper was concentrated preferentially where hydrothermal copper-rich solutions ... -
Fluid Inclusion Geothermometry in Fluorite from Gays River, Nova Scotia and Boat Harbour, Newfoundland
(1980-03-15)Fluid inclusions in post-ore fluorite from the base metal deposit in Carboniferous carbonates at Gays River, Nova Scotia, homogenize at a mean temperature of 142 + 8oC. Calcite in the deposit crystallized earlier, at a ... -
Fluid inclusions and microstructure of flexural-slip bedding-concordant veins within the Ovens Anticline, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia
(1996-04-15)Fluid inclusions and microstructure of flexural-slip bedding-concordant quartz veins (FSBCVs) from the Ovens Anticline of the Meguma Group, were assessed and provide data on conditions and mechanisms of flexural-slip ... -
Fluvial Sedimentation in the Lower Member of the Cheverie Formation at Blue Beach, Nova Scotia
(1987-04-15)The lower member of the non-marine Cheverie Formation that is exposed at Blue Beach, Nova Scotia, represents fluvial strata that were deposited during the late Tournaisian. The Blue Beach strata are composed of a coarse-grained ... -
Foraging Ecology of Great Black-backed and Herring Gulls on Kent Island in the Bay of Fundy
(2010-04)I studied the foraging ecology of the generalist predators Great Black-backed (Larusmarinus) and Herring (Larusargentatus) Gulls on Kent Island, in the Bay of Fundy. To study diet, I collected pellets casted in and around ... -
Foraminifera of the Minas Basin and their Distributions
(1977-08-31)One hundred and twenty-one samples of surficial sediments from all parts of the Minas Basin are analysed for foraminiferal content. Thirty-nine species are identified and described and maps of distribution are presented. This ... -
Foraminiferal Assemblages From a Sediment Core From the Inner Scotian Shelf: Implications for Till-Tongue Stratigraphy and Paleoceanography
(1995-04-15)The inner Scotian Shelf juxtaposes the Nova Scotia coastline, ending at the 100 m bathymetric contour, and consists of several zones based on seismic sequences and sea-bottom morphology. At the maximum extent of the last ... -
Forestry Management in Cuba: An Environmental History of the 20th Century
(2008-04)Environmental history explores the relationships and interactions that humans have –and have had- with the environment. These relationships and interactions were researched in the context of the ecological history of ...
