Devonian extension in Northwestern Newfoundland: Ar-40/Ar-39 and U-Pb data from the Ming's Bight area, Baie Verte Peninsula
(2001-03)
The Ming's Bight Group of northwestern Newfoundland, an outlier of Humber Zone continental margin rocks, is entirely surrounded by ophiolitic rocks of the Dunnage Zone. Structures in the Ming's Bight Group and adjacent ...
Beating the heat: Development and evaluation of a Canadian hot weather health-response plan
(2001-12)
An increasing number of cities subject to hazardous summer weather in the United States and Canada have began to develop and implement hot weather response plans to prevent heat-related illnesses and deaths. In this study ...
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 ...
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. ...
THE ZEROING PROPERTIES OF QUARTZ WITH RESPECT TO DIFFERENT DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENTS
(2001-04-15)
The zeroing of the luminescence signal in quartz grains by exposure to natural light is a key principle in sediment dating using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating. Determination of the "equivalent dose", De, ...
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 ...
USE OF FORAMINIFERA AND THECAMOEBIANS AS RELIABLE INDICATORS OF MARINE/FRESHWATER TRANSITION ZONES IN SOUTHERN FLORIDA
(2001-04-15)
The mangrove environment of Southern Florida is expansive, dominating the much of the southern coastline, including that of the southwestern Everglades. As such, it is a dynamic environment that is constantly readjusting ...
40Ar/39Ar LASER-PROBE STUDY OF K-FELDSPARS FROM THE NEW ROSS AREA OF THE SOUTH MOUNTAIN BATHOLITH, NOVA SCOTIA
(2001-04-15)
The peraluminous South Mountain Batholith (SMB) intruded the metasedimentary rocks of the Meguma Supergroup in the Late Devonian.
Mineralization of metals in pegmatite, greisen, and vein deposits are found with K-feldspar ...
WHITE MICAS IN THE LAKE LEWIS LEUCOGRANITE, NOVA SCOTIA
(2001-04-15)
The South Mountain Batholith, a peraluminous granitic complex, ranges in composition from biotite granodiorite to muscovite-topaz leucogranite. Leucogranitic rocks form minor and late components of the batholith. The Lake ...
LATE CENOZOIC PALEOCEANOGRAPHIC CHANGES IN THE NORTHWEST PACIFIC USING RADIOLARIAN BIOSTRATIGRAPHY OF ODP SITE 1179 AND OTHERS
(2001-04-15)
The radiolarian zonation of ODP Site 1179 was accessed using core-catcher samples. The data indicate that the soft sediments analyzed range from late Miocene to Recent. The radiolaria biostratigraphy of ODP Site 1179 yielded ...
