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 ... -
Holocene Relative Sea-Level Change in Nova Scotia
(1993-03-15)Core samples collected around Atlantic Canada, specifically from the West Head salt marsh, Chezzetcook Inlet, enable temporal and spatial examination of benthic foraminiferal assemblages. Benthic foraminiferal zonations, ... -
How moderate agriculture affects the food web of macroinvertebrates in fresh water streams in Kings County,Nova Scotia
(2011-03)Moderate agriculture changes physical and chemical factors in streams resulting in a fertilizing effect by increasing available nutrients to macroinvertebrates through increased detritus breakdown and algal growth (Karr & ... -
How Rocks Affect the Growth of Krummholz in the Mealy Mountains of Labrador
(2009-04)The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how rocks affect the growth of coniferous krummholz of two species: Black Spruce (Picea mariana) and Balsam Fir (Abies balsamea). Specifically, I investigated: 1) whether ... -
