40 Ar/39 Ar thermochronology of the SE Central Gneiss Belt, Grenville Province, Ontario
(1997-04-15)As different minerals begin to retain Ar at distinct "closure temperatures", 40 Ar/39 Ar dating of suites of minerals can be used to reconstruct the cooling history of rocks in ancient orogenic belts. This information ... -
40Ar/39Ar Ages for the St. Anthony Complex Dynamothermal Aureole, Northwestern Newfoundland
(1981-03-15)A study of 40Ar/39Ar age relationships of various structural levels of the St. Anthony Complex dynarnothermal aureole was undertaken. Units of the aureole dated include a small jacupirangite suite metamorphosed with the ... -
40Ar/39Ar Dating of Silurian-Devonian Rocks from the Gander and Botwood Zones of Newfoundland and their Paleomagnetic Implications
(1980-03-15)Paleomagnetic poles recently reported by Lapointe, Murthy, and others are widely divergent from poles of similar age from cratonic North America. Two of the units from Newfoundland have each yielded two widely separated ... -
40Ar/39Ar LASER-PROBE STUDY OF K-FELDSPARS FROM THE NEW ROSS AREA OF THE SOUTH MOUNTAIN BATHOLITH, NOVA SCOTIA
(2001-04-15)The peraluminous South Mountain Batholith (SMB) intruded the metasedimentary rocks of the Meguma Supergroup in the Late Devonian. Mineralization of metals in pegmatite, greisen, and vein deposits are found with K-feldspar ... -
An 40Ar/39Ar Study of the Goldenville, Halifax, White Rock and Torbrook Formations of the Digby Area, Southwest Nova Scotia.
(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 ... -
40Ar/39Ar Thermochronology Across a Transect of the Eastern Grenville Front Tectonic Zone and the Western Britt Domain of the Grenville Province, Georgian Bay
(1993-03-15)40Ar/39Ar thermochronology of hornblendes from granitic gneiss and amphibolites in the Central Gneiss Belt (CGB) west of Key Harbour along northern Georgian Bay yields ages ranging from 1016 - 995 Ma. Muscovites from the ... -
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 ... -
40Ar/39Ar Thermochronology of the Britt Domain Grenville Province - Georgian Bay, Ontario
(1989-04-15)The 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology of a transect of the Britt domain, Central Gneiss Belt, Grenville Province has been examined in this study. In total, twelve argon gas analyses were obtained. These came from five locations ... -
40Ar/39Ar Thermochronology of the Malton Gneiss, Malton Complex, Southeastern British Columbia.
(2000-04-15)The Malton complex, located at the northern tip of the Shuswap complex in southeastern British Columbia, is one of several structural culminations in which Precambrian basement is exposed from beneath Neoproterozoic cover ... -

(2009-04)This paper concentrates on the examination of existing agricultural systems in dambos around Mzuzu, Malawi. The paper connects onsite investigations conducted in the summer of 2008 and a review of related works. This paper ... -
Algal Recolonization of Frog Island, Nova Scotia after Large-scale Removal of Algal Species through Anthropogenic Activity
(2012-04)Macrophytic algae, which are at the base of inte1tidal food webs, provide food and shelter to organisms of higher trophic levels. Rocky substrata and macroalgae are essential to the physical and biological sustainability ... -
ALLUVIAL FAN DEPOSITS OF THE CARBONIFEROUS GRANTMIRE FORMATION IN DRILL HOLE PE 83-1, SYDNEY BASIN, NOVA SCOTIA

Analyses of Dyke Swarms within the Sverdrup Basin Queen Elizabeth Islands
(1986-04-15)The Sverdrup Basin is a sedimentary basin within the Canadian Arctic Islands. This area has had a complex tectonic and igneous history with several episodes of intrusive and extrusive activity. The last episode is believed ... -
ANALYSIS OF AQUIFER TESTS IN TWO FRACTURED ROCK WELLS, HALIFAX AREA, NOVA SCOTIA
(2001-04-15)Two drilled wells completed in fractured quartzite bedrock at sites in East Dartmouth and Waverley were tested to determine aquifer properties and well yields. Tests were conducted at different rates for various durations ...
