Thermobarometry of Eclogite from the Nordøyane Ultra-High Pressure Domain, Western Gneiss Region, Norway
(2020-04-15)Partial melting of subducted continental crust at ultra-high pressure (UHP) conditions may facilitate the exhumation of large UHP terranes like the Western Gneiss Region (WGR), Norway. During the Scandian phase of the ... -
Thermobarometry of Meta-Sedimentary Enclaves in the Ten Mile Lake Intrusion, Liscomb, Nova Scotia
(1990-04-15)A section of a drill core from the area of the Ten Mile Lake, Liscomb Complex, Nova Scotia, contains many small metasedimentary enclaves in a felsic host. The enclaves investigated are calc-silicate and metapelites and ... -
THICKNESS AND FACIES VARIATION OF THE CARBONIFEROUS SYDNEY MINES FORMATION IN THE MORIEN SYNCLINE, CAPE BRETON ISLAND
(2001-04-15)Thirty-six drill holes from the Morien Syncline, Cape Breton Island have been analyzed to study the thickness and facies variation of the lower Sydney Mines Formation (Westphalian D). Drill holes are of the Cape Breton ... -

(2008-04)The Clean Annapolis River Project (CARP) has identified fecal bacterial contamination as the single greatest threat to water quality in the Annapolis River, located in western Nova Scotia. The intense agriculture and use ... -
TRACE ELEMENT GEOCHEMISTRY OF BIOTITE FROM THE SCRAG LAKE AND NEW ROSS PLUTONS OF THE SOUTH MOUNTAIN BATHOLITH, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA: IMPLICATIONS FOR MAGMA DIFFERENTIATION
(2022-04)The South Mountain Batholith (SMB) is a 7300 km2, peraluminous, felsic intrusion occurring in SW Nova Scotia. The batholith consists of 13 plutons emplaced in two different phases between ~385 (Phase 1) and ~368 Ma (Phase ... -
Understanding Resistance to Flood Risk Mapping: A Test of Climax Thinking in Southwestern Nova Scotia
(2021-04)As a result of climate change, flooding is projected to become more severe and frequent. Flood risk mapping delineates areas of past and potential future flooding, and allows for informed decision-making regarding personal ... -

(1986-04-15)Mabou Mines is located on the northwestern coast of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Steeply dipping sedimentary strata of the Upper Carboniferous Pictou Group (dated as Late Westphalian C) are exposed on the shoreface. ... -
Upper Paleozoic Alluvial Plain Sedimentation in the Morien Group, Eastern Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
(1984-04-15)A section of upper Morien strata located near the western margin of the Sydney Basin was examined. Three sub-assemblages of sedimentary facies were recognized: Thick bedded sandstone characterized by a fining-up ... -
URANIUM, RADIUM, AND RADON IN STREAMS, DOMESTIC WELL WATERS, AND SOILS: A GIS ANALYSIS OF GEOLOGICAL, GEOCHEMICAL, AND GEOPHYSICAL RELATIONSHIPS
(1999-04-15)Elevated levels of 238Uranium (U) and its daughter products 226Radium (Ra) and 222Radon (Rn) in groundwater, surface water, and soils have the potential of posing health risks. In particular, high levels of radioactive ... -
