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 ... -
A Seismostratigraphic Analysis of High Resolution Seismic Reflection Data from the Western Grand Banks of Newfoundland
(1985-04-15)A seismostratigraphic analysis of data from the western Grand Banks of Newfoundland has enabled the definition of seven acoustic units. Units were defined on the basis of high resolution, seismic reflection profiles, airgun ... -

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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Stratigraphy and Depositional Environment of the Meaghers Grant Formation of the Musquodoboit Valley, Central Nova Scotia.
(1978-03-15)The Meaghers Grant Formation is a Lower Carboniferous siliclastic sequence in the Musquodoboit Valley of central Nova Scotia. It has been studied in outcrop and mainly in core. It lies wholly within the Lower Windsor Group ... -
STRATIGRAPHY OF THE GOLDENVILLE GROUP-HALIFAX GROUP TRANSITION (GHT) OF THE MEGUMA SUPERGROUP AT CARIBOU GOLD DISTRICT (DRILLCORE LL81-5A), NOV A SCOTIA
(1997-04-15)Drillcore LL81-5A, recovered from Caribou gold district, Halifax County, Nova Scotia, by Sherritt Gordon Mines Ltd. in 1980, is a 625.40 m-long continuous section of the CambroOrdovician Meguma Supergroup, representing ... -
THE STRENGTH EVOLUTION OF A CRUSTAL SCALE SHEAR ZONE
(2020-04-15)The brittle-ductile transition zone, thelocation of greatest strength in the crust,can be determined through the construction of a stress profilewith depth. The profile is constrained from the calculated flow stresses for ... -
Structural Analysis of the George River Group at North Mountain, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
(1978-03-15)Several different explanations of the structure of the George River rocks at North Mountain have been suggested in the past, none of which has proved to be very satisfactory. Milligan has proposed that the structure is ... -
Structural Geology and Deformation Of The Meguma Group At The Northeastern Contact Of The South Mountain Batholith, Halifax Area, Nova Scotia
(1997-04-15)Structural mapping and petrographic analyses were conducted to document the structural geology and deformation of the Meguma Group country rocks adjacent to the Halifax Pluton of the South Mountain Batholith (SMB) near ... -
Structural Geology of the Meguma Group Adjacent to the Eastern Contact of the South Mountain Batholith
(1995-04-15)The purpose of this study is to recognize and evaluate structural features that may be related to the emplacement of the South Mountain Batholith. The Acadian orogeny produced folds within the Meguma Terrane with a north-east ...
