The survey was introduced as a way of gathering resident input for the natural resource inventory. There were a total of 195 resident responses. The following is an overview of the results. Question 1: Rank each of Gilford’s natural resource features of importance to you using 1-3. (1 = Most Important, 2 = Somewhat Important, 3 = Not Important) For question one, residents found water quality as the most important feature. Residents found cemeteries as the least important feature. The following table contains the percentages of the respondents’ beliefs. Not all 195 residents responded, so the number of respondents is listed as well. Natural Resource Most Somewhat Not Total Important Important Important Respondents Fields/Agriculture 73% 21% 6% 158 Fish/Wildlife 68% 27% 5% 164 Wetlands & Vernal Pools 56% 34% 10% 154 Ridgelines 53% 33% 14% 152 Cemeteries 28% 54% 18% 152 Forests 80% 16% 4% 167 Rivers/Streams 83% 14% 3% 161 Scenic Views & Vistas 74% 21% 5% 165 Rural Atmosphere 67% 25% 8% 157 Ponds & Lakes 87% 10% 3% 167 Open Space 75% 20% 5% 162 Water Quality 92% 4% 4% 162 Historical Features 55% 37% 8% 153 Residents were also given an “Other” category.

  • 'Tillite', Boston Basin
    SEDIMENTOLOGY OF THE SQUANTUM ‘TILLITE’, BOSTON BASIN, USA: MODERN ANALOGUES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PALEOCLIMATE DURING THE GASKIERS GLACIATION (c. 580 Ma) by Shannon Leigh Carto A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Graduate Department of Geology University of Toronto © Copyright by Shannon Leigh Carto, 2011 SEDIMENTOLOGY OF THE SQUANTUM ‘TILLITE’, BOSTON BASIN, USA: MODERN ANALOGUES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PALEOCLIMATE DURING THE GASKIERS GLACIATION (c. 580 Ma) Shannon Leigh Carto Doctorate of Philosophy, 2011 Graduate Department of Geology University of Toronto ABSTRACT The Gaskiers glaciation (c. 580 Ma) has been classically traced along the Neoproterozoic Avalonian-Cadomian Terranes, which are now found scattered around the North Atlantic Ocean. Around 625 Ma these terranes were composed of volcanoes and arc- type basins. ‗Till-like‘ diamictite horizons identified within these basins have been used as evidence for a ‗Snowball Earth-type‘ glaciation at 580 Ma. However, others argue that these deposits are non-glacial debris flow deposits. To test the non-glacial interpretation of these deposits, a detailed sedimentological and basin analysis was conducted on the Neoproterozoic Squantum Member that occurs conformably with the volcanic-sedimentary rocks of the Boston Bay Group (eastern Massachusetts); this deposit is one of the most referenced ‗tillite‘ deposits for the Gaskiers glaciation. This thesis shows that the ‗tillites‘ of this succession are volcanically-influenced non-glacial debrites. Using the Lesser Antilles Arc and the adjacent Grenada Basin in the Caribbean Sea as a modern depositional analogue for the Avalonian- Cadomian Terranes, this study further reveals that debris flow facies types (diamicts) comparable to those of the Avalonian-Cadomian Terranes are produced at this modern arc and are recorded in the fill of the Grenada Basin.
