Deep-Sea Coral: Their Use As Climate Change Indicators
(2003-04-15)The need for accurate climate change models is a major issue with the increasing concern of global warming. Recently deep-sea corals have been calibrated for seawater temperatures using isotopic ratios since they record ... -
Deformation and metamorphism in the contact aureole of the S. Mt. Batholith, Bedford area
(1996-04-15)This study documents structures related to Halifax Pluton emplacement, in the Bedford area. Intrusion of the Devonian South Mountain Batholith caused both metamorphism and deformation of the Cambrian-Ordovician Meguma ... -
Depositional Analysis of a Section of the Lower Meguma (Lower Paleozoic), Ship Harbour, Nova Scotia
(1978-03-15)A section of the lower Meguma (Lower Paleozoic) near Ship Harbour, Nova Scotia, was examined in detail in terms of bed thickness, sedimentary structures and grain size. Interpretation of depositional processes and ... -
Depositional Analysis of the Upper Meguma (Halifax Formation) at Ovens Park, Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia
(1981-03-15)Two sections of the Halifax Formation, Meguma Group (Lower Paleozoic) at Ovens Park, Nova Scotia, were examined for sedimentary structures, grain size and facies associations. Interpretation of the depositional processes ... -
Depositional and Environmental Interpretation of the Meander River Carbonate Sheet, Avondale, Hants County, Nova Scotia.
(1979-03-15)Detailed investigation of the Lower Carboniferous Meander River carbonate sheet (Limestone 2, Subzone D of the Windsor Group) exposed at Avondale, Hants County, Nova Scotia, reveals a pair of incomplete, asymmetrical, ... -
Depositional Environment and Provenance of the Dina Formation, Provost Oil Field, East Central Alberta, and a Hydrocarbon Distribution Within
(2003-04-15)The Dina formation, late Barremian to late Aptian, is the basal unit of the Mannville Group in east central Alberta, and the primary oil producing unit of the Provost oil field. In Section 23, Township 36 6W4 (part of the ... -
DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE LOWER PALEOZOIC SEDIMENTS ON THE GRAND BANKS OF NEWFOUNDLAND
(1982-03-15)Lower Paleozoic platformal sediments on the Avalon Peninsula continue offshore in the area between the Avalon Peninsula and the Virgin Rocks. Dating of ten drilled cores from the offshore area and continuous seismic profiles ... -
Depositional Environments and Diagenesis of a Section of the Herbert River Limestone Member, Windsor Group, Upper Pleasant Valley, Nova Scotia
(1980-03-15)A stratigraphic section of the Herbert River Limestone Member, Windsor Group, exposed on Pleasant Brook, Upper Pleasant Valley, N.S., consists of ten carbonate lithologies. From base to top of section (with their respective ... -
A Detailed Study of a Submerged Pingo-Like-Feature in the Canadian Beaufort Sea, Arctic, Canada (Postprint)
(1982-03-15)There is controversy as to the origin of the dome shaped hills (pingo-like-features (PLFs)) found on the Canadian Beaufort Sea continental shelf and slope. A detailed study of a PLF was undertaken to define its characteristics ... -
A Detailed Study of Pictou Group Rocks at Cape John, Nova Scotia
(1983-03-15)The Pictou Group of Northern Nova Scotia has to date received relatively little study. Several authors have studied these rocks in context with other groups in the area and as part of regional basinal studies. This study ... -
DETERMINATION OF BULK PERMEABILITY WITHIN THE MORIEN GROUP USING THE FORCING OF OCEAN TIDES IN THE SYDNEY BASIN IN CAPE BRETON, NOVA SCOTIA
(1997-04-15)Since November 1992 the Lingan Colliery in the Sydney coalfield has been steadily filling with water. At the same time the water level in the previously flooded 1B region and the No 26 Colliery has been gradually decreasing. ... -
DETERMINING SUBSURFACE SUSPENDED SEDIMENT MECHANISMS THROUGH SURFICIAL REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUES, SOUTH KOREA
(2019-04-15)Satellite imagery can provide information on the spatial distribution of surficial suspended sediment over broad scales in coastal environments. An outstanding challenge is to determine the extent to which surficial ... -
