Paleoceanographic Reconstruction of the Inner Scotian Shelf During the Younger Dryas: A Benthic Foramineral Study
(1994-03-15)Examination of foraminifera from piston core 91-018-53P permits a paleoceanographic reconstruction of the Inner Scotian Shelf, with emphasis on the Younger Dryas cold period. A minimum in the total number of foraminifera ... -
Paleoceanographic Trends on the Northern Scotian Shelf
(1986-04-15)Paleoceanographic trends are recorded and reflected in the preservation of benthonic foraminiferal assemblages in ocean floor sediments. This study presents a succession of foraminiferal assemblages from an 8m core taken ... -
Paleoenvironment of Triassic Dinosaurs and Other Tetrapods at Carrs Brook, Nova Scotia.
(2000-04-15)A section of Triassic strata is exposed at Carrs Brook, on the northern margin of the Minas Subbasin, Colchester County, Nova Scotia. A detailed map of the Carrs Brook section was made using a plane table survey. The 200-300 ... -
Paleoenvironmental Analysis of Halifax Harbour: Sedimentology, Paleoclimatology, and Holocene Sea Level
(1994-03-15)Three cores (numbered 2,9,10) collected from Halifax Harbour using new submersible vibracoring equipment permits a reinterpretation of an acoustically distinct seismostratigraphic unit. This unit, never previously sampled, ... -
Paleosols of the Westphalian D Sydney Mines Formation, Sydney Basin, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada
(1992-04-15)Lacustrine-deltaic deposits in the Sydney Mines Formation contain paleosols. Three soil profiles (1 m, 1.2 m, and 0.9 m long) sampled over an 11.8 m interval of drill core taken ca. 200 m offshore Point Aconi, Cape Breton, ... -
Paleotectonic setting of the Takla Group volcano-sedimentary assemblage, Stikine Terrane, McConnell Creek map area, north central British Columbia
(1996-04-15)The Upper Triassic Takla Group volcano-sedimentary assemblage is located within the Stikine Terrane of the Intermontane Belt in the Canadian Cordillera. In the McConnell Creek area, the assemblage consists of clinopyroxene ... -
Palynology and Stratigraphy of an Upper Cretaceous Sedimentary-Volcanic Sequence, Emma Fiord, Northwest Ellesmere Island, N.W.T, Canada.
(1989-04-15)Terrestrial sedimentary units (lignite and siliclastics) are interbedded with bimodal volcanic units (alkali basalts, silicic volcanics and pyroclastics) on an unnamed peninsula between Audhild Bay and Emma Fiord (81o30'N, ... -
PALYNOLOGY OF THE LOWER CRETACEOUS CHASWOOD FORMATION, ELMSVALE BASIN AND SHUBENACADIE OUTLIER, NOVA SCOTIA
(2002-04-15)The unconsolidated sand and clay deposits of the Shubenacadie and Musquodoboit basins have been documented in detailed studies since the 1950's. General mapping projects from as early as the 1900's have postulated that the ... -
Parental Factors That Affect the Connectedness to Nature of Pre-School Aged Children in Halifax, Nova Scotia
(2022-04)Time spent in nature has been found to promote a connectedness to nature (CTN) in both children and adults (Gifford & Nilsson, 2014; Deville, 2021). However, it has been found that people in North America are spending ... -
Partition of Uranium in Four Canadian Examples of Mississippi Valley Type Base Metal Deposits: Pine Point, N.W.T.; Polaris, N.W.T.; Newfoundland Zinc, Newfoundland; and Gay's River, Nova Scotia
(1977-12)Fission track analyses of minerals host rocks, and fission track mapping of uranium in samples from four Canadian Mississippi Valley type deposits, indicates that uranium concentrations in these samples are very minute ... -
The Petrochemistry and Origin of the Bourne Complex, Northwestern Ellesmere Island, Canada
(1991-04-15)New petrological and petrochemical analyses provide insight into the origin of the hypabyssal and volcanic rocks of the Bourne Complex, northwestern Ellesmere Island, Canada. Field relationships and petrographic characteristics ...
