Contact Relations Between The New Ross Leucomonzogranite and the Falls Lake Mafic Porphyry: Evidence for Magma Interactions in the South Mountain Batholith
(1994-03-15)The South Mountain Batholith is a peraluminous composite batholith that intruded over a short interval of time. The batholith consists of 260 intrusive bodies, thus the possibility of magma-magma interactions is high. The ... -
The Contribution of Forest Fires to PM2.5 Burden in Halifax During the Summer of 2011
(2012-04)Source apportionment was used to identify the contributing sources to the concentration of PM2.5 in Halifax over the summer of 2011. The source modeling of choice was Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) because it does not ... -
Cooler Than Tap Water: A Study of Water Coolers and Tap Water on Dalhousie University Campus
(2011-04)Despite having consistent access to clean drinking water, nearly 100 water coolers exist on Dalhousie campus, as indicated by an audit performed by the Office of Sustainability (personal communications, February 2011). ... -
Cooling and Uplift Pattern of the Liberty Hill Pluton, South Carolina, USA
(1988-04-15)The Liberty Hill pluton is one of a series of post-metamorphic plutons emplaced in the central and eastern Piedmont province of the Appalachians in the late Paleozoic. An investigation of the post-magmatic cooling and ... -
Cooling History of a Rifted Passive Margin - New Insights from (U-Th)/He Thermochronology along the Labrador Passive Margin
(2019-05-15)The Labrador Sea is the result of rifting and breakup between Labrador and Greenland. The asymmetry of magmatism, bathymetric/topography, sediment distribution and crustal structure along both margins suggests a lithospheric ... -
Copper in the North Mountain Basalts, Nova Scotia
(1978-03-15)The North Mountain basalts are quartz-normative tholeiites stretching from Cape Split to Whipple, Nova Scotia. The lavas have been subjected to zeolite facies metamorphism. Native copper occurs in trace quantities associated ... -
Correlation and 40Ar/39Ar Age Dating of the Early Cretaceous Walker Island Member Basalts Axel Heiberg Island - Canadian Arctic
(1991-04-15)Previous studies have documented the presence of magnetic polarity reversals, which could represent the earliest M0 or M1 reversal of the M-Sequence, in the Early Cretaceous (Aptian-Barremian) sedimentary/volcanic stratigraphic ... -
Cost-Benefit Analysis of Fossil Fuel Divestment
(2018-03)Anthropogenic climate change is impacting the lives of people around the world; many institutions have, therefore, committed to reducing their greenhouse gas emissions (Cabusch et al). Fossil fuel investment, the act of ... -
Cost-benefit analysis of outfitting the windows of the Henry Hicks Arts and Administration building with more efficient models to improve Dalhousie University campus sustainability
(2005-04)With its prominent clock tower and classic design, the Henry Hicks Arts and Administration building, which was built in 1955, is probably the university’s most recognizable and symbolic structure. Despite its importance ... -
Cretaceous marginal marine and freshwater rhizopods from central Nova Scotia, Canada
(1996-04-15)This study of rhizopod assemblages, from two cores drilled near Shubenacadie, provides evidence for a marine connection to central Nova Scotia during the early Cretaceous. Five different rhizopod assemblages have been ... -
A Critical Discourse Analysis of the impact of settler colonialism on populist environmental policy
(2018-04)Right-wing western style populism has been increasing in popularity in certain parts of the world (Europe, North America, Australia) recently. However, there has been little research done on the environmental policies of ... -
A Critical Evaluation of Old-Growth Forest Definitions in Canada
(2020-04)Old-growth forests are a precious resource. As critical areas of biodiversity, they provide habitat for many species at risk. They also provide a multitude of ecosystem services and have enormous intrinsic biological ... -
Crooked-line 2D seismic reflection imaging in crystalline terrains: Part 1, data processing
(2003-01)For cost and access reasons, most of the seismic reflection data collected in crystalline terrains have been acquired by 2D crooked-line profiling. When the survey geometry is significantly irregular and the geologic ... -
Crooked-line 2D seismic reflection imaging in crystalline terrains: Part 2, migration
(2003-01)Seismic reflection surveys are frequently conducted over very complicated geological structure, but surveying often must be confined to existing crooked roads or tracks. Typically, data from such 2D crooked-line surveys ... -
Curriculum Audit: How Dalhousie University is integrating sustainability into its non-environmental undergraduate programs
(2020-04)Interdisciplinary education is a trend in post-secondary education across the world (Bear & Skorton, 2019). Climate change, and other issues of social and environmental sustainability are increasingly relevant and pressing ... -
