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 ... -
Comparison of Siliceous Volcanics from the Clarno and John Day Formations, Oregon
(1993-03-15)The Tertiary Clarno and John Day Formations occur in the Blue Mountains Region of north-eastern Oregon. The two formations are easily distinguishable overall, because the Clarno consists primarily of andesitic to dacitic ... -
Compartmentalization of Formation Waters, Prince Colliery, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
(1997-04-15)The Prince Colliery is located offshore of Point Aconi, Cape Breton , Nova Scotia. The colliery is presently extracting coal from the Hub seam of the Marien Group, part of the Carboniferous Sydney Basin. Directly overlying ... -
Compound Specific Isotope Analysis of Invertebrate Tissues: Determining Nitrogen Variability in Coastal Nova Scotia
(2020-05-15)Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) loading in coastal marine environments causes eutrophication, alters food web structures, and degrades water quality. In Nova Scotia, anthropogenic N sources are introduced to coastal waters ... -
Connecting Value and Knowledge of Marine Environmental Issues: A Social Survey in Coastal Nova Scotia
(2013-04)The maritime province of Nova Scotia maintains a strong cultural and economic connection to the sea, but is increasingly under threat from various anthropogenic stressors, such as climate change, overfishing, and pollution. ... -
The Contact Metamorphic Effects of a Granitoid Pluton on Zinc-Lead Mineralization in the Manganiferous Metasediments of the Meguma Group, Eastville, Colchester County, Nova Scotia
(1985-04-15)The distribution of mineral resources in the Meguma Zone has been found to be spatially associated with the transition of the Goldenville and Halifax Formations (GHT, Zentilli and MacInnis, 1984). The Eastville deposit ... -
Contact Relations Between The New Ross Leucomonzogranite and the Falls Lake Mafic Porphyry: Evidence for Magma Interactions in the South Mountain Batholith
(1994-03-15)The South Mountain Batholith is a peraluminous composite batholith that intruded over a short interval of time. The batholith consists of 260 intrusive bodies, thus the possibility of magma-magma interactions is high. The ... -
The Contribution of Forest Fires to PM2.5 Burden in Halifax During the Summer of 2011
(2012-04)Source apportionment was used to identify the contributing sources to the concentration of PM2.5 in Halifax over the summer of 2011. The source modeling of choice was Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) because it does not ... -
Cooling and Uplift Pattern of the Liberty Hill Pluton, South Carolina, USA
(1988-04-15)The Liberty Hill pluton is one of a series of post-metamorphic plutons emplaced in the central and eastern Piedmont province of the Appalachians in the late Paleozoic. An investigation of the post-magmatic cooling and ... -
Cooling History of a Rifted Passive Margin - New Insights from (U-Th)/He Thermochronology along the Labrador Passive Margin
(2019-05-15)The Labrador Sea is the result of rifting and breakup between Labrador and Greenland. The asymmetry of magmatism, bathymetric/topography, sediment distribution and crustal structure along both margins suggests a lithospheric ... -
Copper in the North Mountain Basalts, Nova Scotia
(1978-03-15)The North Mountain basalts are quartz-normative tholeiites stretching from Cape Split to Whipple, Nova Scotia. The lavas have been subjected to zeolite facies metamorphism. Native copper occurs in trace quantities associated ... -
Correlation and 40Ar/39Ar Age Dating of the Early Cretaceous Walker Island Member Basalts Axel Heiberg Island - Canadian Arctic
(1991-04-15)Previous studies have documented the presence of magnetic polarity reversals, which could represent the earliest M0 or M1 reversal of the M-Sequence, in the Early Cretaceous (Aptian-Barremian) sedimentary/volcanic stratigraphic ... -
Cretaceous marginal marine and freshwater rhizopods from central Nova Scotia, Canada
(1996-04-15)This study of rhizopod assemblages, from two cores drilled near Shubenacadie, provides evidence for a marine connection to central Nova Scotia during the early Cretaceous. Five different rhizopod assemblages have been ... -
A Critical Discourse Analysis of the impact of settler colonialism on populist environmental policy
(2018-04)Right-wing western style populism has been increasing in popularity in certain parts of the world (Europe, North America, Australia) recently. However, there has been little research done on the environmental policies of ... -
A Critical Evaluation of Old-Growth Forest Definitions in Canada
(2020-04)Old-growth forests are a precious resource. As critical areas of biodiversity, they provide habitat for many species at risk. They also provide a multitude of ecosystem services and have enormous intrinsic biological ...
