...G. Vilks; C. T. Schafer; D. A. Walker Abstract In 1955, a causeway was built across the Strait of Canso, Nova Scotia, Canada, preventing in the Strait a free interaction between the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Atlantic waters. In order to evaluate a possible impact of this barrier on the marine...

.... Results of computer simulation of burrowing patterns and rates, based on field data, suggest the possibility of extensive sediment reworking in regions of high Axius densities. Computed rates of sediment overturning, compared with core data, indicate that high densities of Axius in the Strait of Canso...

As shown by Barr and Raeside ( 1986 , 1989 ) and McCutcheon and Robinson ( 1987 ), the Canso fault follows a northwest trend through the Strait of Canso between Cape...

The offshore strata were contiguous with Upper Paleozoic rocks of the European margin prior to Atlantic rifting. Between 1967 and 1992, part of the Burin Platform known as the St...

...H. D. Daae; A. T. C. Rutgers ABSTRACT The broad structural geology and stratigraphy of the Northwest Passage is controlled by the Boothia Arch and structural depressions on each side, namely, Viscount Melville Sound and M’Clure Strait to the west (graben), and Lancaster Sound to the east (half...

... ( Koutitonsky and Bugden, 1991 ). It is connected with the North Atlantic Ocean through the Cabot Strait and Belle Isle Straits. The general circulation in the Gulf is cyclonic, with Labrador coastal water entering on the north side of the Strait of Belle Isle (Text-Figure 3 ), branching around Anticosti Island...

... plant on the Strait of Canso. Trunk lines from the gas plant would carry gas to markets in the Canadian Maritimes and the United States, whereas the condensate would be shipped from Canso by tanker. Total cost of the Venture project is estimated to be $3 billion. Mobil expects the gas to be on-stream...

The offset in the pre-Carboniferous belts across Cabo t Strait to Cape Breton Island, and in Straits of Canso on the south, suggest s that there are transcurrent faults (Press...

The author kindly credited me (p. 1027, col. 1) with information with respect to the 5 February 1663 event being felt...

It flew, in the following years in the joint GSC/NAE project, a series of parallel lines, about 10 miles or so apart, from the southern tip of Greenland to the Nares Strait and beyond into the Arctic Ocean as far as the North Pole.
