"Pock Marks" in Nearshore Sands: Observations During Sandyduck97.
(2000-04-15)Previous bedform research has described different ripple types forming in varying hydrodynamic conditions and used ripple geometry within sedimentary rocks to infer the paleoenvironmental conditions during the ripple ... -
A Pollen-Stratigraphic Study of Late-Quaternary Vegetational Change at Porter's Lake, Nova Scotia, with Reference to Marine Intrusion
(1986-04-15)Late-Quaternary sea level rise has caused two marine intrusions into Porter's Lake, Nova Scotia (Smith 1984), resulting in an interesting ecological history. Stratigraphic studies of the lake include work on diatoms and ... -
Post-Pleistocene Sea Level Changes in the Baie Verte Estuary (Northumberland Strait) as Revealed by Foraminiferal Studies
(1980-03-15)Two cores were obtained from the Baie Verte estuary of the Northumberland Strait to study relative sea level changes by examination of foraminiferal distributions. The base of the cores contained a layer of salt marsh ... -
Predicting Olive-sided Flycatcher (Contopus cooperi) Breeding Habitats in Southwestern Nova Scotia Using LiDAR Metrics Informed by Drone Data.
(2024-04)The Olive-sided Flycatcher (OSFL) is a migratory species at risk bird, currently listed as “Threatened” in Nova Scotia, and “Special Concern” federally. The strategy to promote the recovery of OSFL population is expected ... -
A PROPOSED METHODOLOGY FOR THE AMBULATORY MEASUREMENT OF PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSE TO NATURAL RESTORATION IN URBAN GREEN
(2013-03)It is known that natural wilderness environments can act as restorative environments for urban stress. However, it is uncertain what effect urban green spaces have on urban stress. In this study, we reviewed methodologies ... -
Provenance and Depositional Environment of Some Lower Mississippian Sediments, Cape George, Nova Scotia
(1983-03-15)The conglomerates of northern Cape George represent a tectonic block, thrusted from the north during the Carboniferous. Previous provenance studies of the Cape George alluvial fan sediments have not been done in great ... -
Provincial Allocations of Canada’s 2030 INDC and a 2-Degree Scenario Target Using a Multi-Criteria Weighted Sum Model
(2018-04)At the 2015 COP21 Paris Agreement, Canada restated its commitment to a 2030 target of a 30% reduction from 2005 level emissions as an Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC). At this agreement, nations in ... -
Pyrrhotite composition and its relationship to acid drainage potential in the Halifax Formation, Meguma Group, Nova Scotia
(1996-04-15)The physical disruption of sulphidic slates of the Halifax Formation of the Meguma Group in Nova Scotia, leads to oxidation of sulphides and the generation of acid rock drainage (ARD). Acid runoff has been a serious problem ... -
QUANTIFYING IMPACTS OF SPATIAL RESOLUTION ON PIXEL AND OBJECT-BASED METHODS OF IMAGE CLASSIFICATION: A CASE STUDY OF IDENTIFYING ESTUARINE MORPHOLOGY IN COBEQUID BAY, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA
(2020-04-15)Image processing methods can be used to classify land cover and phenomena fromsatellite imagery according to their spectral characteristics and identify target features. These methodscanprovide a relatively efficient ...
