The relationship between urban tree canopy cover and socioeconomic status in urban Halifax
(2018-04)Urbanization has highlighted the importance of vegetation in city environments. The influx of people into city centers are concentrating larger populations into smaller areas, and this is having a negative impact on the ... -
The Relationship of Coastal Drumlins to Barrier Beach Formation Along the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia
(1984-04-15)The Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia is experiencing post-glacial rise in relative sea level, resulting in a transgressive coastal environment. Drowned estuaries are fronted by eroding drumlin headlands which provide a sediment ... -
RELATIVE RATES OF SULPHIDE OXIDATION BY CHEMICAL AND MICROBIAL MEANS: THE ROLE OF MINERALOGY AND TEXTURE IN ACID ROCK DRAINAGE (ARD) FROM THE MEGUMA SUPERGROUP, NOV A SCOTIA
(1997-04-15)The Meguma Supergroup in Nova Scotia contains abundant sulphide minerals that potentially can cause acid rock drainage (ARD), which is environmentally damaging and expensive to ameliorate. The problem is most intense in ... -
The Removal of Mandatory Home Economics from Quebec’s Official Education Curriculum
(2009-06)This study examines the Quebec government‟s 1997 decision to remove mandatory home economics from the province‟s secondary school curriculum, on the grounds that home economics has the potential to be a valuable tool in ... -
Riparian Buffer Removal and Associated Land Use in the Sackville River Watershed, Nova Scotia, Canada
(2010-04)“To what extent has riparian area been removed in the Sackville River watershed and what land uses are associated with this riparian area removal?” I investigate this question by assessing the extent of riparian area removal ... -
Running Head: ABORIGINAL PEOPLES, WATER AND HEALTH & WELL-BEING
(2011-03)When water is looked at in the context of health, it is generally in terms of access to safe drinking water (Health Canada, 2002). When considering the health of Aboriginal peoples however, it is necessary to look at ... -
SCALE MODEL EXPERIMENTS WITH THE HORIZONTAL LOOP ELECTROMAGNETIC TECHNIQUE OF GEOPHYSICAL PROSPECTING Postprint
(1982-03-15)This study deals with the construction and application of a scale model horizontal loop electromagnetic system whose function is to quantitatively measure the in-phase portion of the vertical component of an anomalous ... -
SCHLIEREN IN THE SOUTH MOUNTAIN BATHOLITH AND PORT MOUTON PLUTON, MEGUMA ZONE, NOVA SCOTIA
(2001-04-15)Dynamic interactions between crystals and melt can form schlieren as primary features during the various stages of the crystallization of magmas. The restricted conditions necessary for the formation and preservation of ... -
Sediment Consolidation and Permeability at the Central Oregon Margin, Ocean Drilling Program Sites 891 and 892
(1994-03-15)Sediment hydraulic conductivity is a critical and highly variable control on the consolidation of accretionary prism materials. The consolidation state and pore pressure conditions within an accretionary prism ultimately ... -
The Sedimentary Environment of the Late Cretaceous St. Mary River Formation, Southwestern Alrerta
(1985-04-15)It is the purpose of this study to interpret the sedimentary environment which produced the St. Mary River Formation (SMRF) . This study attempts to expand on the preliminary sedimentological work of previous authors py ... -
