The Analysis of High Resolution Shallow Seismic Reflection Data from Sable Island Bank
(1985-04-15)This project involves the analysis of high resolution shallow seismic reflection profiles collected on the south flank of Sable Island Bank. The objective of this study is to gain an understanding of the genesis and sediment ... -
An Analysis of Introductory Environmental Science Textbooks’ Approaches to Commonly Held Climate Change Misconceptions
(2023-04)A climate literate public is becoming increasingly important as the threats of climate change grow (Johnston 2019). Climate literacy is taught across introductory environmental science courses in higher education ... -
An analysis of phosphorus cycling in waste stabilization ponds (WSPs) in Nunavut
(2014-03)This study examined the forms of and amounts of phosphorus (P) present in water and sediment samples taken from two arctic climate waste stabilization ponds (WSPs) located in Kugaaruk, and Pond Inlet, Nunavut. This ... -
Ancient Submarine Canyons. and Fans of the Carson Basin, Grand Banks, Offshore Newfoundland, Canada
(1999-04-15)The Carson Basin lies beneath the Grand Banks, offshore Newfoundland, and is composed of several depocenters, the deepest of which holds over 7 km of Mesozoic and Cenozoic strata. To date only four exploration wells have ... -
Apatite fission track study of tectonics and provenance of sediments in the Sawtooth Range, Sverdrup Basin, Canadian Arctic Archipelago
(1996-04-15)The Sverdrup Basin in the Canadian Arctic is a large intracratonic rift basin initiated during the late Paleozoic. Its sediments were deposited in two sequences: Proterozoic to mid-Paleozoic deformation in the Ellesmerian ... -
The Applicability of the 40Ar/39Ar Stepwise Outgassing Method to the Dating of Slates
(1980-03-15)Four samples ranging in composition from a pure slate to a pure metasiltstone, collected from the same location in the Lower Paleozoic Meguma Group, are age dated by the 40Ar/39Ar stepwise outgassing technique. The discordant ... -
An Application of Pleistocene Geology to Mineral Exploration in Southwestern Nova Scotia
(1978-03-15)An esker complex near Yarmouth, Nova Scotia has been investigated to determine the mode of origin of the eskers and to evaluate their usage in mineral exploration. Field work involved describing sections through eskers, ... -
AR-40/AR-39 AGE STUDIES OF MAFIC VOLCANICS FROM THE SVERDRUP BASIN, ARCTIC CANADA
(1987-04-15)Cretaceous extrusive volcanism in the Sverdrup Basin is widespread and appears to have occurred in four major episodes (Valanginian, late Barremian, late Albian, and late Cenomanian/early Turonian). In addition to these ... -
Arcellaceans in Eastern Canada: Selected Biostratigraphic and Biological Studies
(1984-04-15)Arcellaceans (testate rhizopods) are considered as part of the artificial group known as "thecamoebians". Arcellaceans exist in all modern freshwater environments, and they have been found to have value as indicators of ... -
Arcellaceans in Nova Scotia: Selected Biostratigraphic Studies
(1985-04-15)Surficial sediment samples and cores from both Albro and Penhorn Lakes were examined to determine the biostratigraphy of the lakes, based on arcellaceans. Considerable morphological variation of species is noted and ... -
Arcellaceans of Several Small Lakes in Southwestern New Brunswick; Their Modern Distribution and Stratigraphic Importance
(1983-04-15)Sediment-water interface samples from five small lakes in southwestern New Brunswick (Bonaparte Lake, Bocabec Lake, Gibson Lake, St. Patricks Lake and Big Pond [Deer Island]) were quantitatively examined for the presence ... -
Assessing Eutrophication Vulnerability as an Indicator of Cyanobacteria Presence in Kejimkujik National Park
(2024-04)Kejimkujik National Park (KNP) and National Historic Site (Nova Scotia, Canada) is home to numerous lakes that support a multitude of recreational activities and aquatic habitats. The park is comprised of camp sites, ...
