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, ... -
The application of the ecosystem approach and future directions for the international management of migratory sharks in the Northwest Atlantic [graduate project].
(2016)Sharks have existed on Earth for over 400 million years. However, many shark populations have declined and show only slow to no signs of recovery. Many sharks are apex predators and therefore play crucial roles in maintaining ... -
Application of XDM to ionic solids: the importance of dispersion for bulk moduli and crystal geometries
(American Institute of Physics, 2020-08-06) -
Applications of Coral Bio-Optics to Coral Reef Management
(2012-09-20)The unabated decline of coral reefs has led to criticisms of both coral reef monitoring and management: monitoring data provides management with a limited capacity to detect current sources of stress acting on the reef, ... -
Applying Adaptive Management Approaches to Data Limited Fisheries: The Case of Bermuda’s Shallow Water Snapper Species [graduate project].
(2015-11-23)The sustainable management of ecosystems, marine resources, and resource users is essential to ensure ecosystem health and resilience. A vast majority of global fish stocks lack adequate data to determine fish stock health ... -
APPLYING AN ECOSYSTEM-BASED RISK MANAGEMENT APPROACH TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EELGRASS BEDS AND OYSTER AQUACULTURE AT MULTIPLE SPATIAL SCALES IN EASTERN NEW BRUNSWICK, ATLANTIC CANADA.
(2014-02-17)Both eelgrass beds (Zostera marina) and the American Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) are indigenous to Atlantic Canadian coastal waters and are equally recognized as ecological engineers. However, recent eelgrass cover ... -

(2023-12)Regional assessments inform the planning and management of a proposed developments impact to society and nature. They are the broadest tool in the impact assessment process and are designed to consider the impacts of human ... -
Applying the Concept of Sustainable Consumption to Seafood: How Product Loss Through Post-Harvest Seafood Supply Chains Undermines Seafood Sustainability commitments
(2013-10-03)To date, efforts towards seafood sustainability have almost exclusively focused on ‘improvement on the water’, wherein the focus is to make the production systems more eco-efficient. Significant achievements have been made ... -
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 ... -
Are Atlantic Leatherback Turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) at Risk of Plastic Pollution in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean?
(2020-12)The production of plastic has greatly increased since the early 20th century resulting in an overwhelming abundance on land and in the sea. The solid waste pollution found in the ocean poses sublethal to lethal threats to ... -
