Fate of Heavy Metals in Passive Wastewater Treatment Systems of the Northwest Territories
(2020-04)Due to unique climatic, geologic, and biologic conditions of northern Canadian landscapes, wastewater management in this region is complex and geographically distinctive. Many regions of the Northwest Territories (NWT) ... -
A First-Approximation Windthrow Risk Index for Street Trees on the Halifax Peninsula
(2012-03)Trees in the Halifax Regional Municipality are at particular risk to windthrow because of their proximity to the coast, and the risk of increasing storminess in the future. This study aimed to create a vulnerability index ... -
FIXATION OF SULPHUR DURING FRAMBOIDAL PYRITE DEVELOPMENT IN A PETROLEUM RESERVOIR IN CRETACEOUS VOLCANICS IN THE ANDES: IMPLICATIONS FOR CU METALLOGENESIS
(2002-04-15)El Soldado, Chile, is a giant strata-bound copper deposit hosted in Lower Cretaceous basalt and rhyodacite. Previous work suggested that copper was concentrated preferentially where hydrothermal copper-rich solutions ... -
Fluid inclusions and microstructure of flexural-slip bedding-concordant veins within the Ovens Anticline, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia
(1996-04-15)Fluid inclusions and microstructure of flexural-slip bedding-concordant quartz veins (FSBCVs) from the Ovens Anticline of the Meguma Group, were assessed and provide data on conditions and mechanisms of flexural-slip ... -
Foraging Ecology of Great Black-backed and Herring Gulls on Kent Island in the Bay of Fundy
(2010-04)I studied the foraging ecology of the generalist predators Great Black-backed (Larusmarinus) and Herring (Larusargentatus) Gulls on Kent Island, in the Bay of Fundy. To study diet, I collected pellets casted in and around ... -
Foraminiferal Assemblages From a Sediment Core From the Inner Scotian Shelf: Implications for Till-Tongue Stratigraphy and Paleoceanography
(1995-04-15)The inner Scotian Shelf juxtaposes the Nova Scotia coastline, ending at the 100 m bathymetric contour, and consists of several zones based on seismic sequences and sea-bottom morphology. At the maximum extent of the last ... -
