CENTRAL SCOTIAN SLOPE STABILITY: THE POSSIBLE ROLE OF GAS HYDRATES
(2002-04-15)Gas hydrates are ice-like solids in which large quantities of methane are trapped in a solid phase as a result of suitable pressure and temperature conditions in the presence of an excess supply of methane gas. They are a ... -
Characteristics of Metamorphic Textures of the Loch Eil Group of the Moine Highlands
(2022-04)Recent studies on the Moine supergroup suggests that ages over a large extent have been poorly constrained, and lack of research conducted is a result of structural complexity and mineralogical monotony. The purpose of ... -
Characterization of Calcite Amygdules in Devonian Basalts, in the McArras Brook Formation, Nova Scotia
(2024-04)Along the North Shore of Nova Scotia, Canada vesicular basalts in the McArras Brook Formation are host to carbonate amygdules and veins. These basalts are interbedded within a well characterized Devonian strata but have ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF OUTBURST CHANNEL SANDSTONES IN THE PHALEN COLLIERY, CAPE BRETON, NOV A SCOTIA
(1997-04-15)The Phalen Colliery of New Waterford, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia is currently mining coal from the Phalen Seam of the Sydney Mines Formation, part of the offshore Carboniferous Sydney Basin. Since opening in 1984, the ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF SEISMIC AMPLITUDE ANOMALIES AT HIBERNIA USING 3D SEISMIC DATA
(1998-04-15)The Chevron et al. Hibernia P-15 well penetrated one of many bright spots and encountered gas. Bright spots are one of four 'direct hydrocarbon indicators' and result from the high acoustic impedance contrast from gas ... -
Characterizing acid episode frequency, duration, and severity in Nova Scotia’s acidified streams
(2014-04)Acid episodes are a key factor in determining the state of freshwater ecosystems that have been chronically acidified by acid precipitation. An acid episode can be defined as a rapid drop in freshwater pH to well below ... -
CHARACTERIZING ICI&I TEXTILE WASTE IN HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA
(2018-04)Textile waste is growing problem around the world. Relative to other recyclable materials, textile waste management remains largely unexplored among industrialized countries, particularly for textile waste produced by ... -
Characterizing the Conifer Density Gradient from the Halifax Peninsula to the Hinterlands of the Halifax Regional Municipality
(2023-04)The urban-forest tree-species composition is influenced by the urban environment and thus by daily anthropogenic activity. However, in the naturalized woodlands, species composition is primarily influenced by natural ... -
The Chemical Composition of Granite-Related and Mineralization-Related Tourmaline in Nova Scotia
(1987-04-15)Tourmaline is a common accessory mineral which occurs in a wide variety of mineralogical settings. This mineral is commonly found in sedimentary, metamorphic, and granitoid intrusive rocks and their associated aplites, ... -
Climate change and energy security in transportation fuel, infrastructure and policy: An AHP approach
(2009-04)Transportation is fundamental to all societies. It affords access to a broad range of goods and services that has brought civilization to where it is today. Be it a trans-national flight, the delivery of a package, or a ... -

Coastal Sedimentation at Lawrencetown Beach Eastern Shore, Nova Scotia
(1983-03-15)The Lawrencetown beach ridge plain is located approximately 25 kilometres northeast of Halifax, along the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia. It consists of two beach ridge complexes, one sub-parallel and the other sub-perpendicular ... -
Community environmental noise and the built environment in two Halifax neighbourhoods
(2008-04)A study of two Halifax neighbourhoods was conducted to examine the effect of the built environment and land use on levels of environmental noise during January and February of 2008. The study areas were identified using ... -
A Comparative Petrological Study of Three Nova Scotian Intrusions: the Jeddore Dyke, the Sober Island Dyke, and the Marshdale Intrusive
(1988-04-15)A thorough investigation of three igneous bodies found in Nova Scotia (Jeddore dyke, Sober Island dyke, and Marshdale plug) has brought out a number of important results. The two dykes, located along the Eastern Shore, are ... -
Comparing the Richness of Pathogens around Open-Net Atlantic Salmon Marine Aquaculture Farms to Fallow Farms and Non-Farm Areas in Passamaquoddy Bay, New Brunswick: An Analysis of Methods and Proposal of Future Sampling Considerations
(2020-04)The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada considers Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in the outer Bay of Fundy to be endangered. Despite decreases in fishing pressure since wild Atlantic salmon were ... -
Comparison of Dikes and Screen Units Within the Transition Zone From Extrusives to Sheeted Dikes of the Troodes Ophiolite, Cyprus
(1995-04-15)Petrological and geochemical investigations of a series of interleaved dikes and lava screens from the Transition Constructional Zone of the Troodos ophiolite are studied to determine whether differences in magnetization ...
