AzTEC half square degree survey of the SHADES fields - II. Identifications, redshifts, and evidence for large-scale structure
(2012-05-10)The AzTEC 1.1 mm survey of the SCUBA HAlf Degree Extragalactic Survey (SHADES) fields is the largest (0.7 deg2) blank-field millimetre-wavelength survey undertaken to date at a resolution of ~18" and a depth of ~1 mJy. We ... -
AzTEC Half Square Degree Survey of the SHADES Fields -- I. Maps, Catalogues, and Source Counts
(2009-07-06)We present the first results from the largest deep extragalactic millimetre-wavelength survey undertaken to date. These results are derived from maps covering over 0.7 deg^2, made at 1.1mm, using the AzTEC continuum camera ... -
B1933+503, a dusty radio quasar at z>2: implications for blank field sub-mm surveys?
(1998-10-27)We present a detailed mm-wave and optical study of the gravitational lens system B1933+503, discovered by Sykes et al.(1998) in the radio. This object is probably the most complex lens system known, with 10 lensed components ... -

Barriers to Fish Passage in Nova Scotia: The Evolution of Water Control Barriers in Nova Scotia’s Watershed
(2011-03)Loss of connectivity throughout river systems is one of the most serious effects dams impose on migrating fish species. I examine the extent and dates of aquatic habitat loss due to dam construction in two key salmon regions ... -
Barriers to Implementing a Bottom-Up Management Approach to Coastal MPAs: a Canadian Case Study
(2018-12)Marine protected areas (MPAs) are employed as a conservation strategy across the world, protecting species and habitats and helping to rebuild declining populations. However, proposals for coastal MPAs are often met with ... -
BASEFLOW CONTRIBUTION OF THE UNCONFINED AQUIFER SUPPLYING THE LOWER REACHES OF THE CLYBURN BROOK, CAPE BRETON ISLAND, NOVA SCOTIA
(2002-04-15)The Clyburn Brook, in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, is an important source of freshwater. The brook overlies an unconfined aquifer that supplies potable and irrigation water for the Ingonish area. The Clyburn ... -
Baseline Monitoring for Determining the Effects of Streetscaping on Particulate Matter Concentrations in the Downtown Area of Halifax, Nova Scotia
(2020-04)Anthropogenic sources of air pollution in cities primarily originate from automobile traffic. Understanding the extent of air pollution from traffic is important for how governments plan cities, and for maximizing the ... -
A Bayesian Approach to Locating the Red Giant Branch Tip Magnitude (Part II); Distances to the Satellites of M31
(2012-09-21)In `A Bayesian Approach to Locating the Red Giant Branch Tip Magnitude (PART I),' a new technique was introduced for obtaining distances using the TRGB standard candle. Here we describe a useful complement to the technique ... -
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 ... -

BEDFORM SEDIMENTOLOGY AND MORPHODYNAMICS OF SABLE ISLAND BANK
(2001-04-15)A series of shoreface-connected sand ridges occur on Sable Island Bank adjacent to Sable Island, are best developed to its south and southwest and extend as far as 23 km south of the island in water depths up to 45m. In ... -
BEDFORMS IN WAVE–FORCED NEARSHORE ENVIRONMENTS: OBSERVATIONS WITH A PROTOTYPE HUMAN-POWERED SURFACE VEHICLE
(2017-04-15)Bedforms in nearshore environments are undulatory sedimentary structures formed by wave-forced fluid-sediment interactions at the seabed. Signature characteristics imprinted on the sediment fabric may be used to infer ...
