The reflectance spectra of opal-A (05-22 µm) from the Taupo Volcanic Zone: spectra that may identify hydrothermal systems on planetary systems
Download2004-01-01
Goryniuk, Michelle C., Rivard, Benoit A., Jones, Brian
Opal‐A, the main component of siliceous sinters in many terrestrial hydrothermal systems, is a hydrated silicate that commonly incorporates silicified microorganisms. The detection of opal‐A on the surface of Mars, therefore, may carry important implications in the search for extraterrestrial...

Evans, Josh, Stout, Madeleine, Collins, Damian, McDowell, Kenna
Historically, governmental responses to homelessness in Canada have defaulted to the most basic of services such as food and shelter. Even under exceptional circumstances, such as the current coronavirus pandemic, governments still demonstrate reluctance to guarantee permanent, adequate and...

Thermodynamic and dynamic ice thickness contributions in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago in NEMO-LIM2 numerical simulations
Download2018-01-01
Hu, Xianmin, Sun, Jingfan, Chan, Ting On, Myers, Paul G.
Sea ice thickness evolution within the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) is of great interest to science, as well as local communities and their economy. In this study, based on the NEMO numerical framework including the LIM2 sea ice module, simulations at both 1/4 and 1/12◦ horizontal resolution...

Thinning Sea Ice and Thawing Permafrost: Climate Change Adaptation Planning in Nome, Alaska
Download2019-07-02
Birchall, Jeff S., Bonnett, Nicole
Climate change is among the most critical challenges facing local government decision-makers in the north. Yet while risk is clear, with climate impacts occurring there more rapidly than many regions on Earth, integrated policy and planning for climate adaptation often remains a low priority for...

Using Vertically Integrated Ocean Fields to Characterize Greenland Icebergs’ Distribution and Lifetime
Download2018-01-01
Marson, Juliana M., Myers, Paul G., Hu, Xianmin, Le Sommer, Julien
Icebergs represent approximately half of Greenland’s yearly mass loss, having important implications for biological productivity, freshwater fluxes in the ocean, and navigation. This study applies an iceberg model that uses integrated ocean fields (from surface to iceberg keel) to simulate the...

Variability of the Pacific Derived Arctic Water Over the Southeastern Wandel Sea Shelf (Northeast Greenland) in 2015–2016
Download2019-01-01
Dmitrenko, Igor A., Kirillov, Sergei A., Rudels, Bert, Babb, David G., Myers, Paul G., Stedmon, Colin A., Bendtsen, Jorgen, Ehn, Jens K., Pedersen, Leif Toudal, Rysgaard, Soren, Barber, David G.
A portion of the freshwater transport through Fram Strait consists of low-salinity Pacific-derived Arctic water flowing southward along the east coast of Greenland. The pathways of this water are currently unclear. An Ice Tethered Profiler deployed over the southeastern Wandel Sea shelf...

Vermetid buildups, formed primarily of Dendropoma, are found in the coastal areas near Bodden Town and Great Bluff Estates on Grand Cayman. These gastropods are commonly encrusted by foraminifera (Homotrema rubum, Acervulina? sp.), coralline algae, and cyanobacteria. Spaces between the gastropods...

Ma, Y., Flynn, M.R. and B.R. Sutherland
We experimentally investigate the behaviour of a line-source plume falling through a finite two-layer stratified ambient where the depth of the upper ambient layer increases in time. Laboratory observations suggest one of two possible flow regimes depending on the value of 𝜆 , which represents...

Very large boulders on the coast of Grand Cayman - the effects of giant waves on rocky coastlines
Download1992-01-01
Two stretches of rocky coastline on Grand Cayman are characterized by boulders that are up to 5.5 m long, 3.4 m wide, and 2.3 m high (estimated to weigh as much as 40 tonnes). Clusters of boulders, which are irregularly distributed through the area, occur up to 100 m inland from the present-day...
