Development of a wearable global positioning system for place and health research
Background: An increasing number of studies suggest that characteristics of context, or the attributes of the places within which we live, work and socialize, are associated with variations in health-related behaviours and ... -
Foraminiferal assemblage changes over the last 15,000 years on the Mackenzie-Beaufort Sea Slope and Amundsen Gulf, Canada: Implications for past sea ice conditions
Two cores, one from the Beaufort Sea Slope at 1000 m water depth (core 750) and one from the Amundsen Gulf at 426 m (core 124), were collected to help determine paleo-ice cover in the Holocene and late glacial of this area. ... -
Sources of nutrients to windward agricultural systems in pre-contact Hawai'i
Prior to European contact in 1778, Hawaiians developed intensive irrigated pondfield agricultural systems in windward Kohala, Hawai'i. We evaluated three potential sources of nutrients to windward systems that could have ... -
Probing the depths of the India-Asia collision: U-Th-Pb monazite chronology of granulites from NW Bhutan
Rocks metamorphosed to high temperatures and/or high pressures are rare across the Himalayan orogen, where peak metamorphic conditions recorded in the exposed metamorphic core, the Greater Himalayan Sequence (GHS), are ... -
2D waveform tomography applied to long-streamer MCS data from the Scotian Slope
Detailed velocity models of the earth's subsurface can be obtained through waveform tomography. The accuracy of the long-wavelength component of such velocity models, which is the background velocity field, is particularly ... -

New insight into the South Tibetan detachment system: Not a single progressive deformation
Low-angle normal faults (LANF), typically regarded as accommodating crustal or lithospheric extension, may also form during lithospheric shortening. The best-studied system of syn-contractional LANFs is the South Tibetan ... -
Recent Seismic Studies at the East Pacific Rise 8 degrees 20 '-10 degrees 10 ' N and Endeavour Segment Insights into Mid-Ocean Ridge Hydrothermal and Magmatic Processes
As part of the suite of multidisciplinary investigations undertaken by the Ridge 2000 Program, new multichannel seismic studies of crustal structure were conducted at the East Pacific Rise (EPR) 8 degrees 20'-10 degrees ... -
Mid-Pliocene warm-period deposits in the High Arctic yield insight into camel evolution
The mid-Pliocene was a global warm period, preceding the onset of Quaternary glaciations. Here we use cosmogenic nuclide dating to show that a fossiliferous terrestrial deposit that includes subfossil trees and the ... -
Nature Appropriation and Associations with Population Health in Canada's Largest Cities
Earth is a finite system with a limited supply of resources. As the human population grows, so does the appropriation of Earth's natural capital, thereby exacerbating environmental concerns such as biodiversity loss, ...
