PETROGRAPHY AND TRACE ELEMENT CHEMISTRY OF CALCITE VEINS IN THE DEEP DRILL 1972 DRILL CORE, BERMUDA ISLANDS
(2022-04)The Deep Drill 1972 drill core of the Bermuda Islands provides a representative sampling of Bermuda’s volcanic basement lithologies. Although there have been studies of the two primary lithologies over the past 50 years, ... -
TRACE ELEMENT GEOCHEMISTRY OF BIOTITE FROM THE SCRAG LAKE AND NEW ROSS PLUTONS OF THE SOUTH MOUNTAIN BATHOLITH, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA: IMPLICATIONS FOR MAGMA DIFFERENTIATION
(2022-04)The South Mountain Batholith (SMB) is a 7300 km2, peraluminous, felsic intrusion occurring in SW Nova Scotia. The batholith consists of 13 plutons emplaced in two different phases between ~385 (Phase 1) and ~368 Ma (Phase ... -
Impacts of Forest Loss on the Global Water Cycle of the Permian-Triassic Extinction
(2022-04)Recent studies have shown profound effects of deforestation on decreased precipitation and evapotranspiration. This can be attributed to the concept of green water, which is the volume of water stored in soils and ... -
Dissolution features on diamonds from hypabyssal kimberlite facies and the effect of melt composition on diamond resorption
(2022-04)Diamonds can preserve features from their time deep in earth’s mantle and their ascent from the mantle to the Earth’s surface in hot kimberlite magma due to their high stability. The record of dissolution textures on ... -
Parental Factors That Affect the Connectedness to Nature of Pre-School Aged Children in Halifax, Nova Scotia
(2022-04)Time spent in nature has been found to promote a connectedness to nature (CTN) in both children and adults (Gifford & Nilsson, 2014; Deville, 2021). However, it has been found that people in North America are spending ... -
