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, ... -
