DYNAMICS OF THE NOVA SCOTIA CURRENT AND LINKAGES WITH ATLANTIC SALMON MIGRATION PATTERNS OVER THE SCOTIAN SHELF
(2017-03-29)Over the 2008-2015 period, the Ocean Tracking Network provided unprecedented spatiotemporal coverage of the hydrography and currents along the Halifax Line (HL) on the Scotian Shelf, using several different monitoring ... -
Ekman’s theory applied to water replacements on the Scotian shelf
(Imperial Publishing Co, Ltd., 1938) -
Eulerian and Lagrangian Studies of Circulation on the Scotian Shelf and Adjacent Deep Waters of the North Atlantic with Biological Implications
(2016-08-30)A thorough understanding of circulation and hydrography over the eastern Canadian Shelf remains a major challenge within the field of physical oceanography. Reliable predictions of physical oceanic conditions are of great ... -
EUPHAUSIID ECOLOGY AND WATER MASS ASSOCIATIONS IN ROSEWAY BASIN MEASURED FROM AN OCEAN GLIDER
(2017-12-08)The goal of this thesis is to quantify spatial and temporal variation in the concentration and distribution of zooplankton, with an emphasis on euphausiid krill, in Roseway Basin, on the Scotian Shelf. We used an autonomous ... -
IN SITU MEASUREMENTS BY INSTRUMENTED GREY SEALS (HALICHOERUS GRYPUS) REVEAL FINE-SCALE OCEANOGRAPHIC PROPERTIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES ON MOVEMENT PATTERNS
(2019-04-05)The influence of oceanographic conditions on the movements of large marine predators has been demonstrated in diverse taxa. However, obtaining subsurface data that are spatio-temporally relevant to the decisions made by ... -
LOCAL AND REGIONAL DRIVERS OF OXYGEN VARIABILITY IN COASTAL EMBAYMENTS ON THE SOUTHWEST SCOTIAN SHELF: IMPLICATIONS FOR NOVA SCOTIA ATLANTIC SALMON (SALMO SALAR) FARMING
(2022-08-30)Globally, the coastal ocean is increasingly threatened by climate change-related stressors, such as ocean warming and deoxygenation. As a result, anthropogenic activities such as sea cage aquaculture, which often occurs ... -
Modelling the Movement of Marine Particles in Discrete Time and Space with Application to Scotian Shelf Connectivity
(2015)The complexity of ocean circulation makes it difficult to predict both the origin and destination of objects transported by ocean currents. Many practical applications (e.g., planning marine search and rescue operations, ... -
Seismic and Lithological Characterization and Source Rock Potential of the Aptian Naskapi Shale Member, Logan Canyon Formation, Offshore Nova Scotia
(2021-04-21)The fluvial-deltaic successions of the Cretaceous Logan Canyon Formation in the Sable Subbasin, offshore Nova Scotia, have been one of the main sources of hydrocarbon production for decades. The distal and laterally ... -
Source or Sink? A modeling study of inorganic carbon cycling on the Scotian Shelf
(2021-12-08)The Scotian Shelf, located in the highly dynamic northwestern North Atlantic along the eastern Canadian seaboard, has been the focus of much debate as previous studies have yielded conflicting estimates of air-sea CO2 flux ... -
Spatial distribution, spawning stock biomass and the development of spatial reference points
(2013-11-12)The relationship between spawning stock biomass (SSB) and 3 spatial distribution metrics (SDMs), measuring range, concentration, and density, using fisheries independent survey data for 10 demersal Northwest Atlantic fish ... -
A study of the inorganic carbon cycling on the Scotian Shelf
(2019-11-22)The stable carbon isotopic composition (d13CDIC) of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) can be used as an effective indicator of biological processes in carbon cycling, however, so far, few, if any, studies have been conducted ... -
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 ... -
Towards understanding the prokaryotic contributions to cobalamin cycling in the Northwest Atlantic
(2021-04-07)Cobalamin has the potential to limit primary productivity and shape the structure and ecological interactions of marine microbial communities. The identification of major sources and sinks of this vitamin is needed in order ...
