Deep-Sea Coral: Their Use As Climate Change Indicators
(2003-04-15)
The need for accurate climate change models is a major issue with the increasing concern of global warming. Recently deep-sea corals have been calibrated for seawater temperatures using isotopic ratios since they record ...
Fossilized Forests of the Lower Carboniferous Horton Blufff Formation, Nova Scotia
(2003-04-15)
The Hurd Creek and Blue Beach members of the Horton Bluff Formation (Tournaisian) at Horton Bluff on the Bay of Fundy contain several forested levels. Evidence for standing trees is found in the form of moulds and casts ...
Seismic Structure of the Ocean Continent Boundary in the Newfoundland Basin from a Multichannel Seismic Line
(2003-04-15)
Detailed wide angle Ocean Bottom Seismometer and vertical incidence multichannel seismic (MCS) data were collected along three main transects across the Newfoundland Shelf as part of the Study of Continental Rifting and ...
Depositional Environment and Provenance of the Dina Formation, Provost Oil Field, East Central Alberta, and a Hydrocarbon Distribution Within
(2003-04-15)
The Dina formation, late Barremian to late Aptian, is the basal unit of the Mannville Group in east central Alberta, and the primary oil producing unit of the Provost oil field. In Section 23, Township 36 6W4 (part of the ...
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 ...
DISTRIBUTION, MINERALOGY, AND POTENTIAL RECOVERY OF RUTILE FROM THE CHUQUICAMATA PORPHYRY COPPER DEPOSIT OF NORTHERN CHILE
(2002-04-15)
Rutile is a common accessory phase in altered porphyry copper ores (up to 1 wt. % of the host rock), yet it is generally lost to tailings, despite its relatively high price. Ti metal (sponge) is about 5 times the price of ...
DISTRIBUTION OF MN IN THE ENVIRONMENT; AN EXAMPLE FROM GEOLOGY, SURFACE WATER, LAKE SEDIMENT AND TILL IN CENTRAL NOVA SCOTIA
(2002-04-15)
This study involves an examination of Mn in the environment in central Nova Scotia. Since Mn has been mined and occurs in many localities, the study was initiated in order to determine whether Mn could possibly pose an ...
ANALYSIS OF AQUIFER TESTS IN TWO FRACTURED ROCK WELLS, HALIFAX AREA, NOVA SCOTIA
(2001-04-15)
Two drilled wells completed in fractured quartzite bedrock at sites in East Dartmouth and Waverley were tested to determine aquifer properties and well yields. Tests were conducted at different rates for various durations ...
LATEST CRETACEOUS-TERTIARY STRATIGRAPHY ON THE LAHAVE PLATFORM, OFFSHORE NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA
(2002-04-15)
The LaHave Platform is a relatively stable segment of the continental margin of Nova Scotia, developed along the flank of the Scotian Basin. The latest Cretaceous through Tertiary part of the succession, designated the ...
MONITORING OIL SPILL BIOREMEDIATION USING MARSH FORAMINIFERA AS INDICATORS
(2001-04-15)
A controlled experiment was conducted in June 2000 to identify the impacts of an artificial oil spill on an Atlantic coastal salt marsh and to evaluate in situ biological remediation techniques to help restore the environment. ...
