Identification of the Carrier of Magnetization in a Basalt Core from Bermuda
(1987-04-15)Peckenham (1981) attempted to use the magnetic properties of a basalt core from Bermuda to help him define the stratigraphy of basalt flows present in the core. The results of his investigation were not helpful. Magnetic ... -
Identifying and prioritizing barriers to Atlantic salmon habitat connectivity in Napu’saqnuk (St Mary’s River), Mi’kma’ki (Nova Scotia, Canada)
(2024-04)Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) are an anadromous fish species that migrate from headwaters of their home rivers out to the open ocean and back; this ecologically, economically, and culturally significant species requires ... -
The impact of precipitation phase and aquifer type on changing groundwater levels in mountain regions of Canada and the United States
(2024-04)Groundwater in alpine regions plays an essential role in downstream water supply. As the climate warms, mountain water resources are under threat with reduced snowpack, glacier recession, and precipitation phase change ... -
Impacts of Forest Loss on the Global Water Cycle of the Permian-Triassic Extinction
(2022-04)Recent studies have shown profound effects of deforestation on decreased precipitation and evapotranspiration. This can be attributed to the concept of green water, which is the volume of water stored in soils and ... -
The Implications of the Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilus planipennis) on Riparian Canopy Cover in Three Halifax Regional Municipality Parks
