SILICATE AND SULPHIDE MINERAL ASSEMBLAGES AND METAMORPHIC FABRICS FROM PELITES IN THE CONTACT AUREOLE OF THE SOUTH MOUNTAIN BATHOLITH, HALIFAX AREA, NOVA SCOTIA
(1998-04-15)Contact metamorphism resulting from intrusion of the South Mountain Batholith (SMB) at 372 Ma produced textural and mineralogical changes in rocks of the Meguma Supergroup. A detailed petrographic study of the contact ... -
Social Factors Leading to Improper Waste Disposal in the Killam Library at Dalhousie University and the Role of Labels and Signs in Improving Waste Diversion
(2012-04)The purpose of this study is to advance the Dalhousie University sustainability initiative by identifying significant avenues for improvement in waste management through conducting research in the Killam Library. The study ... -
The Socio-Economic Factors of Transportation at Dalhousie University
(2017-04)The goal of our research was to increase knowledge and understanding of how Dalhousie University students commute to and from Studley Campus, with a focus on the socio-economic factors that influence their choices. This ... -
Sources of nutrients to windward agricultural systems in pre-contact Hawai'i
(Ecological Society of America, 2009-09)Prior to European contact in 1778, Hawaiians developed intensive irrigated pondfield agricultural systems in windward Kohala, Hawai'i. We evaluated three potential sources of nutrients to windward systems that could have ... -

Spatial and Temporal Mapping of Radiofrequency Fields
(2011-03)The objective of this study was to explore the spatial and temporal distribution of radiofrequency (RF) fields due to wireless device transmissions in areas of maximum human exposure in Halifax, Nova Scotia. These RF fields ... -
Spatial pattern of the shrub layer across the subarctic landscape of Churchill Manitoba
(2014-03)The shrub layer provides important habitat for wildlife throughout the harsh environment of the arctic tundra landscape. Studies have shown that the shrub layer is expanding in tundra landscapes and changing habitat ... -
Sprucing up Dalhousie: Understanding Students’ Knowledge and Values about Biodiversity on Dalhousie University’s Studley Campus
(2020-04)Previous studies about Dalhousie University’s campus biodiversity focused primarily on indoor greenspace and how nature improved students’ productivity and wellbeing. However, little was done to explore outdoor greenspaces ... -
Stable isotopic composition of deep-sea gorgonian corals Primnoa spp.: a new archive of surface processes
(2005)The deep-sea gorgonian coral Primnoa spp. live in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans at depths of 65 to 3200 m. They have an arborescent growth form with a skeletal axis composed of annual rings made from calcite and gorgonin. ... -
Static or shifting: Quantifying the relationship between income and green space in urban Halifax, Nova Scotia (2001-2016)
(2019-04)Urbanization can have damaging effects on many cities by exacerbating existing social and environmental inequalities. Income inequality can have implications on urban environments particularly if it leads to strong ... -
Stratigraphic Analysis and Possible Tidal Influence in the Thorburn Member and Coal Brook Member, Stellarton Formation, Nova Scotia.
(2000-04-15)The Late Carboniferous Stellarton Basin is located in central Nova Scotia. It is bounded by the Cobequid Fault to the north and the Hollow Fault to the south. Dextral movement on these faults during the Carboniferous formed ... -
Stratigraphic model for glacial-eustatic Pennsylvanian cyclothems in highstand nearshore detrital regimes
(1998-07)Lower (distal) positions on gently sloping shelves (ramps) affected by Pennsylvanian glacial-eustatic sea-level fluctuation display classic marine transgressive-regressive cyclothems, which are separated by exposure surfaces ... -
