The Rest-Frame Optical Properties of SCUBA Galaxies
(2004-12-21)We present optical and near-IR photometry of 96 dusty, far-IR luminous galaxies. We have precise spectroscopic redshifts for all these galaxies yielding a median redshift of z=2.2. The majority, 78, are submm-detected ... -
The Rest-frame Optical Spectra of SCUBA Galaxies
(2004-11-20)We present near-infrared spectroscopy and narrow-band imaging at the wavelength of redshifted H-alpha for a sample of 30 high-redshift, far-infrared luminous galaxies. This sample is selected from surveys in the sub-millimeter, ... -
Restframe Optical Spectroscopic Classifications for Submillimeter Galaxies
(2006-11-10)We report the results of a systematic near-infrared spectroscopic survey using the Subaru, VLT and Keck Telescopes of a sample of high redshift Ultra-luminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) mainly composed of submillimeter-selected ... -
Restoring mangrove forests in Indonesia’s Tanjung Panjang area through the use of market-based incentives: Lessons learned from international case studies.
(2013-10-03)Indonesia’s Tanjung Panjang area has experienced an unprecedented loss of mangrove habitat over the past few decades, due largely to illegal aquaculture practices know as tambak farming. This is of particular concern as ... -
Retrieval of phytoplankton biomass from simultaneous inversion of reflectance, the diffuse attenuation coefficient, and Sun-induced fluorescence in coastal waters
(2007-06)[1] A model has been developed to retrieve phytoplankton absorption, a proxy for phytoplankton biomass, from observations of reflectance ( R) and the diffuse attenuation coefficient (K-d) collected by moored radiometers ... -
Retrofitting Showerheads in Dalhousie University Residences: A Cost-Benefit Analysis
(2009-04)With the human population expected to double by 2027, resource depletion has increasingly becoming a cause for concern. Only 2.5 percent of the earth’s water supplies are classified as fresh, and even less is accessible. ... -
Return periods of extreme sea levels from short records
(1986-10/15)Extreme sea levels usually arise from a combination of the tides (assumed here to be deterministic) and storm surges (assumed stochastic). The authors show how tide and surge statistics derived from short (~1 year) records ... -
Reusable mug program: Assessing campus perspectives and use of the pilot program at the Killam Library, Dalhousie University
(2019-04)The main objective of this study is to assess perspectives and use of the reusable mug pilot program at the Killam Library, Dalhousie University. Reduction of solid waste is a widespread environmental and sustainability ... -
Reusable Mugs: Reducing Waste on Dalhousie’s Studley Campus
(2004-04)This project focuses on waste produced at Dalhousie University in Halifax by disposable cups. Thousands of cups of hot beverages are purchased on Dalhousie’s Studley campus everyday creating a large volume of waste. This ... -
Revealing the Seafloor: Exploring Local Knowledge and Interpretations of Benthic Spaces along the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia, Canada
(2023-05-30)Marine ecosystems are increasingly affected by climate change, understanding impacts, how they might change, or the role they will play in system adaptation is key to protecting the overall marine environment and broader ... -
Reversible lithium insertion in catalytically graphitized sugar carbon
(Elsevier, 2015-09-25)Highlights • First report of Li insertion in highly ordered catalytically derived graphite. • Fe catalyst combined with hard carbon precursors enable 1200 °C graphitization. • First report of highly ordered graphite ... -
The Reversible Magnesiation of Pb (Preprint)
(Elsevier Ltd, 2015-03-04)Sputtered Pb films have been found to reversibly alloy electrochemically with magnesium in Grignard based electrolytes. The voltage curve shows a single plateau at about 125 mV vs. Mg, corresponding to the formation of ... -

A review of the planned shipping activity for the Baffinland Mary River Project: assessing the hazards to marine mammals and migratory birds, and identifying gaps in proposed mitigation measures
(2011-11-16)Exploration for minerals, oil, and natural gas, as well as their exploitation and transportation, is heavily reliant on marine transportation. Global demand for these natural resources, as well as a rise in Arctic warming ...
