EVIDENCE OF PRECURSOR EVENTS FOR MEGA-THRUST EARTHQUAKES ON THE WEST COAST OF NORTH AMERICA
(2001-04-15)
In May 1964 a 9.2 magnitude (on the Richter scale) earthquake occurred on the coast of Alaska. Since then, research has shown evidence of precursors to the earthquake using both foraminifera and diatoms, thereby detailing ...
SEISMIC VELOCITIES AND REFLECTION SEQUENCES OF WISCONSINAN GLACIAL DEPOSITS IN EMERALD BASIN (SCOTIAN SHELF)
(2001-04-15)
Emerald Basin is a 2430 km2 depression located on the central Scotian Shelf approximately 40 kilometers off the coast of Nova Scotia. Sleeve-gun reflection data collected in 1994 and Ocean Bottom Seismometer data collected ...
40Ar/39Ar Thermochronology and Metamorphism of Amphibole from the Humboldt Bay High Strain Zone, Wabigoon Subprovince, Lake Nipigon, Ontario
(2002-04-15)
The Humboldt Bay High Strain Zone (HBHSZ) is a shear zone in the Onaman-Tashota Belt, a granite-greenstone belt of the Wabigoon Subprovince of the Archean Superior Province. The HBHSZ represents a boundary within the ...
BASEFLOW CONTRIBUTION OF THE UNCONFINED AQUIFER SUPPLYING THE LOWER REACHES OF THE CLYBURN BROOK, CAPE BRETON ISLAND, NOVA SCOTIA
(2002-04-15)
The Clyburn Brook, in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, is an important source of freshwater. The brook overlies an unconfined aquifer that supplies potable and irrigation water for the Ingonish area. The Clyburn ...
MONITORING BIOREMEDIATION AFTER OIL SPILLS, OLD AND NEW, USING MARSH FORAMINIFERA AS INDICATORS
(2002-04-15)
Salt marshes of Nova Scotia are highly susceptible to marine oil spills. Removal of oil by natural processes is slow in low-energy environments, allowing oil to remain unaltered for many years. Marsh foraminifera, microfossils ...
Minor Folds in Coticule Layers and Their Relationship to Regional Fold Evolution, Central Meguma Terrane, Nova Scotia.
(2000-04-15)
The highly anisotropic turbidite sequences of the Meguma Group in southern Nova Scotia are folded into upright, noncylindrical, northeast-southwest trending box and chevron folds. Minor folds are well-developed in ...
Structure and Strain in the Burwash Formation, Northwest Territories.
(2000-04-15)
The Burwash Formation is an extensive package of Archean volcanic-turbidite sedimentary units in the Slave Province, Northwest Territories. The turbidites are metamorphosed to greenschist facies, and have undergone two ...
Long & Short Term Trends & Fluctuations of GroundWater Levels at Three Sites in Nova Scotia.
(2000-04-15)
Groundwater is an essential resource in Nova Scotia, used by over half of the province's population for domestic purposes. In order to manage this resource effectively, it is important to understand if and how groundwater ...

(2000-04-15)
Cambrian to early-Devonian meta-sedimentary rocks of the Halifax and
Goldenville formations of the Meguma Group and the overlying White Rock and
Torbrook formations form the rart of the Meguma Terrane that underlies ...
"Pock Marks" in Nearshore Sands: Observations During Sandyduck97.
(2000-04-15)
Previous bedform research has described different ripple types forming in varying hydrodynamic conditions and used ripple geometry within sedimentary rocks to infer the paleoenvironmental conditions during the ripple ...
