SCHLIEREN IN THE SOUTH MOUNTAIN BATHOLITH AND PORT MOUTON PLUTON, MEGUMA ZONE, NOVA SCOTIA
(2001-04-15)Dynamic interactions between crystals and melt can form schlieren as primary features during the various stages of the crystallization of magmas. The restricted conditions necessary for the formation and preservation of ... -
Sediment Consolidation and Permeability at the Central Oregon Margin, Ocean Drilling Program Sites 891 and 892
(1994-03-15)Sediment hydraulic conductivity is a critical and highly variable control on the consolidation of accretionary prism materials. The consolidation state and pore pressure conditions within an accretionary prism ultimately ... -
Sedimentation of the Barrow Group, Exmouth Plateau, Northwestern Australia
(1989-04-15)The Exmouth Plateau is a major promontory of the north western Australian continental shelf and ranges from longitude 111oE to 117oE throughout southern latitudes 16o to 21o. This plateau has an aerial extent of approximately ... -
SEDIMENTOLOGY, FACIES SUCCESSIONS AND CYCLICITY OF A SECTION OF THE JOGGJNS FORMATION, JOGGINS, NOV A SCOTIA
(1998-04-15)The Joggins cliffs near Amherst, Nova Scotia, form one of the world's premiere Carboniferous coal-bearing exposures. A 145 m section was measured in the vicinity of Bell's Brook. The section is classified into three ... -
Seismic Stratigraphy of the Exmouth Plateau
(1991-04-15)The Barrow Group deltaic sediments of the Exmouth Plateau were mapped with forty seismic lines and data from five wells. The mapping shows two deltaic sequences which are separated by a flooding surface. The source areas ... -
Seismic Structure of the Ocean Continent Boundary in the Newfoundland Basin from a Multichannel Seismic Line
(2003-04-15)Detailed wide angle Ocean Bottom Seismometer and vertical incidence multichannel seismic (MCS) data were collected along three main transects across the Newfoundland Shelf as part of the Study of Continental Rifting and ... -
SEISMIC VELOCITIES AND REFLECTION SEQUENCES OF WISCONSINAN GLACIAL DEPOSITS IN EMERALD BASIN (SCOTIAN SHELF)
(2001-04-15)Emerald Basin is a 2430 km2 depression located on the central Scotian Shelf approximately 40 kilometers off the coast of Nova Scotia. Sleeve-gun reflection data collected in 1994 and Ocean Bottom Seismometer data collected ... -
Seismic Velocities of Crustal Samples from the Tomgat Peninsula and Nain: ECSOOT'96
(1998-04-15)The subsurface geology of central and northern Labrador, as well as the Labrador Shelf, is presently being interpreted through the use of various seismic techniques. In the fall of 1996, LITHOPROBE funded a wide-angle ... -
SHORTENING OF SOUTHERN TIBET

SILICATE AND SULPHIDE MINERAL ASSEMBLAGES AND METAMORPHIC FABRICS FROM PELITES IN THE CONTACT AUREOLE OF THE SOUTH MOUNTAIN BATHOLITH, HALIFAX AREA, NOVA SCOTIA
(1998-04-15)Contact metamorphism resulting from intrusion of the South Mountain Batholith (SMB) at 372 Ma produced textural and mineralogical changes in rocks of the Meguma Supergroup. A detailed petrographic study of the contact ... -
Spatial and Temporal Mapping of Radiofrequency Fields
(2011-03)The objective of this study was to explore the spatial and temporal distribution of radiofrequency (RF) fields due to wireless device transmissions in areas of maximum human exposure in Halifax, Nova Scotia. These RF fields ... -
Spatial pattern of the shrub layer across the subarctic landscape of Churchill Manitoba
(2014-03)The shrub layer provides important habitat for wildlife throughout the harsh environment of the arctic tundra landscape. Studies have shown that the shrub layer is expanding in tundra landscapes and changing habitat ... -
Static or shifting: Quantifying the relationship between income and green space in urban Halifax, Nova Scotia (2001-2016)
(2019-04)Urbanization can have damaging effects on many cities by exacerbating existing social and environmental inequalities. Income inequality can have implications on urban environments particularly if it leads to strong ... -
Stratigraphic Analysis and Possible Tidal Influence in the Thorburn Member and Coal Brook Member, Stellarton Formation, Nova Scotia.
(2000-04-15)The Late Carboniferous Stellarton Basin is located in central Nova Scotia. It is bounded by the Cobequid Fault to the north and the Hollow Fault to the south. Dextral movement on these faults during the Carboniferous formed ...
