A Salty Situation: An Environmental and Economic Analysis of Ice-Management on Dalhousie University, Halifax Campuses
(2016-04)Road Salt is a common ice-management strategy, however it can be extremely damaging to the environment. In Halifax, Nova Scotia, Dalhousie University’s only form of de-icing is currently road salt. However, due to its ... -
SCALE MODEL EXPERIMENTS WITH THE HORIZONTAL LOOP ELECTROMAGNETIC TECHNIQUE OF GEOPHYSICAL PROSPECTING Postprint
(1982-03-15)This study deals with the construction and application of a scale model horizontal loop electromagnetic system whose function is to quantitatively measure the in-phase portion of the vertical component of an anomalous ... -
SCHLIEREN IN THE SOUTH MOUNTAIN BATHOLITH AND PORT MOUTON PLUTON, MEGUMA ZONE, NOVA SCOTIA
(2001-04-15)Dynamic interactions between crystals and melt can form schlieren as primary features during the various stages of the crystallization of magmas. The restricted conditions necessary for the formation and preservation of ... -
Sediment Consolidation and Permeability at the Central Oregon Margin, Ocean Drilling Program Sites 891 and 892
(1994-03-15)Sediment hydraulic conductivity is a critical and highly variable control on the consolidation of accretionary prism materials. The consolidation state and pore pressure conditions within an accretionary prism ultimately ... -
The Sedimentary Environment of the Late Cretaceous St. Mary River Formation, Southwestern Alrerta
(1985-04-15)It is the purpose of this study to interpret the sedimentary environment which produced the St. Mary River Formation (SMRF) . This study attempts to expand on the preliminary sedimentological work of previous authors py ... -
Sedimentation of the Barrow Group, Exmouth Plateau, Northwestern Australia
(1989-04-15)The Exmouth Plateau is a major promontory of the north western Australian continental shelf and ranges from longitude 111oE to 117oE throughout southern latitudes 16o to 21o. This plateau has an aerial extent of approximately ... -
Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of Canso and Riversdale Fluvial Strata at Broad Cove, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
(1986-04-15)The cliff section located on the northeast shore of Broad Cove, Cape Breton, contain fluvial strata of both the Canso and Riversdale Group. The Canso strata are composed of two facies assemblages. The Coarse Member facies ... -
Sedimentology and Tectonic Activities in Rawdon Hills, Nova Scotia
(1986-04-15)The general Geology and Sedimentology of the Horton sedimentary deposits of Rawdon Hills were studied by using two drill cores and a few outcrops available in the area. Vitrinite reflectance and fission track method ... -
Sedimentology of Fluvial Red Beds at Waddens Cove, Cape Breton County, Nova Scotia.
(1985-04-15)A red bed unit in the Late Pennsylvanian Morien Group at Waddens Cove, Cape Breton County, Nova Scotia, occurs stratigraphically between the fine upper Morien Group and the coarse lower Morien Group. A succession of sandstone ... -
The Sedimentology of Glaciofluvial Deposits Near Upper Nine Mile River, Nova Scotia
(1984-04-15)Four sand and gravel pits east of Upper Nine Mile River expose parts of a 25 km long ridge of unconsolidated glaciofluvial sediment. Twenty five (25) stratigraphic sections were measured along fresh exposures in the ... -
Sedimentology of the Carboniferous Canso Group at Broad Cove, Nova Scotia
(1986-04-15)Carboniferous Canso Group strata are well exposed on the west coast of Cape Breton Island at Broad Cove, 5 km northeast of Inverness. The study area is a coastal section extending from the mouth of Smith's Brook, which ... -
SEDIMENTOLOGY, FACIES SUCCESSIONS AND CYCLICITY OF A SECTION OF THE JOGGJNS FORMATION, JOGGINS, NOV A SCOTIA
(1998-04-15)The Joggins cliffs near Amherst, Nova Scotia, form one of the world's premiere Carboniferous coal-bearing exposures. A 145 m section was measured in the vicinity of Bell's Brook. The section is classified into three ... -
Seismic Stratigraphy of the Exmouth Plateau
(1991-04-15)The Barrow Group deltaic sediments of the Exmouth Plateau were mapped with forty seismic lines and data from five wells. The mapping shows two deltaic sequences which are separated by a flooding surface. The source areas ... -
Seismic Structure of the Ocean Continent Boundary in the Newfoundland Basin from a Multichannel Seismic Line
(2003-04-15)Detailed wide angle Ocean Bottom Seismometer and vertical incidence multichannel seismic (MCS) data were collected along three main transects across the Newfoundland Shelf as part of the Study of Continental Rifting and ... -
SEISMIC VELOCITIES AND REFLECTION SEQUENCES OF WISCONSINAN GLACIAL DEPOSITS IN EMERALD BASIN (SCOTIAN SHELF)
(2001-04-15)Emerald Basin is a 2430 km2 depression located on the central Scotian Shelf approximately 40 kilometers off the coast of Nova Scotia. Sleeve-gun reflection data collected in 1994 and Ocean Bottom Seismometer data collected ... -
Seismic Velocities of Crustal Samples from the Tomgat Peninsula and Nain: ECSOOT'96
(1998-04-15)The subsurface geology of central and northern Labrador, as well as the Labrador Shelf, is presently being interpreted through the use of various seismic techniques. In the fall of 1996, LITHOPROBE funded a wide-angle ...
