Geophysical Analysis of Field and Laboratory Measurements at the Eastville Lead-Zinc Deposit Colchester County, Nova Scotia
(1985-04)A large part of the mineralization of the Meguma Group is associated with the Goldenville - Halifax Transition. This Transition zone produces geophysical anomalies. Horizontal loop E.M. surveys show a strong conductive ... -
Geophysical Modelling of the LaHave Clay and Emerald Silt Formations, Lahave Basin
(1990-04-15)A seismic reflection profile across part of the LaHave Basin shows 4 continuous, strong reflectors. This study relates the observed seismic reflection data to the measured physical properties (velocity, density, porosity, ... -
A Geophysical Study of the Liscomb Satellite Pluton
(1989-04-15)The Liscomb Satellite Pluton is located to the north of the Main Liscomb Complex in central Nova Scotia. Because of the limited amount of outcrop the boundaries of the pluton have yet to be accurately determined through ... -
Glacial Geology and Geochronology of Peggy's Cove Region
(2003-04-15)Peggy's Cove region is ideal for estimating paleo ice margin retreat due to the high density of large (>2m) quartz bearing boulders in the area, for estimating glacial erosion rates, and is strategically situated near the ... -
Gravitational Interpretation and Modelling of the South Mountain Batholith. Southern Nova Scotia.
(1978-03-15)Much controversy surrounds the issue of the geometry of the South Mountain Batholith of southern Nova Scotia. Gravity data released by the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources within the last year has allowed a ... -
Gravity and Magnetic Investigations of the Deep Cove Intrusive, Cape Breton County, Nova Scotia
(1978-03-15)Gravity and magnetic surveys were conducted on the Deep Cove quartz monzonite intrusive to ascertain its subsurface configuration and, in particular, the attitude of its west contact with the surrounding Fourchu volcanic ... -
Gravity Modeling of a Mafic-Ultramafic Association Darvel Bay, Sabah, Northern Borneo.
(1986-04-15)The association of Pre-Tertiary mafic and ultramafic rocks exposed at Darvel Bay, East Sabah, is believed to form an ophiolite suite. These outcrops are believed to provide evidence for a Middle Tertiary island arc-continent ... -
Gravity Modelling of the Liscomb "Satellite" Pluton
(1988-04-15)The Liscomb "Satellite" Pluton is a small granitoid mass located northwest of the main Liscomb Complex in central Nova Scotia. Detailed gravity data has been obtained over the smaller pluton, and from the surrounding area. ... -

Halifax Residential Air Quality: Public Perceptions and PM2.5 Concentrations
(2024-04)Residents of Halifax's North End have raised concerns over air quality in their neighbourhood. Exposure to elevated levels of airborne particulate matter pose serious risks to human health and increases strain on local ... -
Heavy Mineral Provenance Studies on the Wallace River Formation of the Pictou Group between Tatamagouche and River John, Nova Scotia
(1980-03-15)Heavy mineral provenance studies were conducted on sandstones of the Wallace River Formation (Pictou Group) over an area of roughly 200 km2. As well, three major heavy mineral provinces were established. The strata cropping ... -
The Highway 101 Landfill - what have we learned?
(1996-04-15)The Highway 101 Landfill between Upper Sackville and Mount Uniacke, Nova Scotia has been in operation since 1977. Hydrochemical tests were routinely collected on 63 monitoring wells located at various depths in and around ... -
Holocene History of Kings and Hartling Bays, Atlantic Coast of Nova Scotia
(1978-03-15)Kings and Hartling Bays are typical of many exposed inlets with bayhead beaches which are prevalent along the Atlantic Coast of Nova Scotia. The present morphology of these two bays is a result of Pleistocene glaciation ...
