Land-Use Change and Aquatic Macroinvertebrate Community Structure in the McIntosh Run, Nova Scotia Canada
(2012-04)Land-cover refers to the physical and biological cover of a land’s surface; including water, vegetation, soil, and/or artificial structures (Ellis 2011). This differs from land-use, which is a more complicated term that ... -
Last Gasp of the Grenville Orogeny - Thermochronology of the Grenville Front Tectonic Zone Near Killarney, Ontario
(1993-09)We present U-Pb (titanite, zircon) and Ar-40/Ar-39 (hornblende, mica, K-feldspar) data from a transect across the western part of the Grenville Front Tectonic Zone (GFTZ) near Killarney, Ontario. High-grade metamorphic ... -

LATE CENOZOIC PALEOCEANOGRAPHIC CHANGES IN THE NORTHWEST PACIFIC USING RADIOLARIAN BIOSTRATIGRAPHY OF ODP SITE 1179 AND OTHERS
(2001-04-15)The radiolarian zonation of ODP Site 1179 was accessed using core-catcher samples. The data indicate that the soft sediments analyzed range from late Miocene to Recent. The radiolaria biostratigraphy of ODP Site 1179 yielded ... -
A Late Cretaceous polar forest, Emma Fjord, Northwest Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada: Paleobotany, Paleoecology and Paleoclimatology
(2002-04-15)During the Mesozoic to Early Cenozoic greenhouse climate phase forests grew well within the polar circle. These unique polar forest ecosystems flourished in a warm, high-latitude environment where trees were subjected to ... -
Late Pleistocene - Holocene Benthonic Foraminifera from the Northern Scotian Shelf
(1986-04-15)A micropaleontological study was carried out on a core taken from latitude 45.8oN in St. Annes Basin on the northern Nova Scotian Shelf. Benthonic foraminiferal assemblages were defined in terms of abundance and dominance ... -
Late Pleistocene-Holocene Paleoceanography of the Northeast Newfoundland Shelf; Benthonic Foraminiferal Evidence
(1986-04-15)A micropaleontological study based on benthonic foraminifera was made of seventy-one samples from core 80-030-26 (Gravity and Piston) taken at a water depth of 267 m in outer Notre Dame Bay, northeast Newfoundland Shelf. ... -

LATEST CRETACEOUS-TERTIARY STRATIGRAPHY ON THE LAHAVE PLATFORM, OFFSHORE NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA
(2002-04-15)The LaHave Platform is a relatively stable segment of the continental margin of Nova Scotia, developed along the flank of the Scotian Basin. The latest Cretaceous through Tertiary part of the succession, designated the ... -
Latest Pleistocene-Holocene Paleoceanographic Trends on the Inner Scotian Shelf off the South Shore of Nova Scotia: Benthonic Foraminiferal Evidence
(1988-04-15)Two piston cores, 78-005-112 and 77-002-15, from the Inner Scotian Shelf off the South Shore of Nova Scotia provide the basis for a micropaleontological study of the paleoceanographic trends. The study of benthonic ... -
