Life history variability in maturity and the influence of environment in Atlantic Salmon, Salmo salar, and Bullethead Parrotfish, Chlorurus sordidus and C. spilurus, under climate change
(2021-12-20)Life history transitions are periods between lifecycle stages defined by physiological, morphological, or spatial change. By assessing the timing of transitions, we increase our understanding of the trade-offs in traits ... -
MODELLING AND BENCHMARK DEVELOPMENT FOR ELECTRICAL ENERGY USE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY ON NOVA SCOTIA DAIRY FARMS
(2015-04-02)The analysis of energy use on dairy farms faces a number of challenges, based partly on benchmark parameter currently used as a means to quantify energy consumption. This research addresses this issue, using energy audit ... -
Modelling Arctic Sea Ice and Ocean Processes in a Changing Climate
(2023-12-13)Warming four times faster than the rest of the globe, the Arctic region is experiencing rapid changes. At the heart of this amplification of anthropogenic climate change lies a strong coupling between the different components ... -
Modelling of spatial infection spread through heterogeneous population: from lattice to PDE models
(2021-12-20)We derive a PDE model of the infection spread, which takes population density into account. This model is a continuum limit of agent-based model of human movement. Numerical simulations of the model show that dense population ... -
PETROLEUM SYSTEM MODELLING OF POTENTIAL LOWER JURASSIC SOURCE ROCKS ALONG THE SCOTIAN MARGIN
(2019-11-28)This thesis presents the results of 2D Petroleum System models using PetroMod software on four shelf-to-slope regional seismic lines (NovaSPAN 1100, 1400, 1800 and 2000), by incorporating new data from the Nova Scotia ... -
Surface heat flux, horizontal advection, and the seasonal evolution of water temperature on the Scotian Shelf
(1994)Seasonal temperature variations on the Scotian Shelf penetrate to a depth of about 75 m. The net surface heat flux (Q) can explain about 85% of the annual cycle in the rate of change of mean temperature over this depth ...
