  • Antigonish Floodrisk and Erosion Climate Change Project
    Antigonish Floodrisk and Erosion Climate Change Project The study commissioned by the Nova Scotia Department of Regional Economic Development and the Nova Scotia Department of the Environment By Dr. Tim Webster, Katie LeBlanc and Nathan Crowell Applied Geomatics Research Group, Centre of Geographic Science Nova Scotia Community College Middleton, NS B0S 1M0 & Acadia University, Wolfville, NS 1 Executive Summary The Canadian coastlines have been assessed for sensitivity to future sea-level change and it has been determined that the east coast of Canada is highly vulnerable to erosion and flooding. The third assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicates that there will be an increase in mean global sea-level from 1990 to 2100 between 0.09 m and 0.88 m (Church et al. 2001). The latest IPCC Assessment Report 4 (AR4) has projected global mean seal-level to rise between 0.18 and 0.59 m from 1990 to 2095 (Meehl et al. 2007). However as Forbes et al. (2009) point out, these projections do not account for the large ice sheets melting and measurements of actual global sea-level rise are higher than the previous predictions of the third assessment report. Rhamstorf et al. (2007) compared observed global sea-level rise to that projected in the third assessment report and found it exceeded the projections and have suggested a rise between 0.5 and 1.4 m from 1990 to 2100. Thus, Forbes et al. (2009) use the upper limit of 1.3 m as a precautionary approach to sea-level rise projections in the Halifax region.

Tallman J.A. Marcotte H.E. Plint K.A. Connors 1987 GEOLOGY OF THE WEST-CENTRAL CAPE BRETON HIGHLANDS, NOVA SCOTIA Abstract Mapping of metavolcanic, metasedimentary, and metaplutonic rocks in the vicinity of the Northeast Margaree River, west-central Cape Breton Highlands, has been carried out on 1:10 000 and 1:25 000 scales. The Jumping Brook metamorphic suite (redefined) consists of a lower unit of metabasalts and associated pyroclastic and sedimentary rocks (Faribault Brook metavolcanics), overlain by quartz-rich sedimentary rocks with local conglomerate and tuff (Barren Brook schist), and semi-pelitic to psammitic schists (Dauphinee Brook schist), which grade into porphyroblastic schists ranging up to staurolite-kyanite grade (Corney Brook schist). Medium grained amphibolite (George Brook amphibolite) with relict dioritic texture is common in the sequence and probably represents synvolcanic intrusions.

    CANADIAN MARITIMES 2016 19 June - 17 August 2016 SMART Canadian Maritimes Caravan 2016 19 June - 17 August 2016 Wagon Masters: Carl and Gwen Hopper Assistant Wagon Masters: Mark and Linda Avey The 2016 Canadian Maritimes Caravan started and ended in Hermon, Maine, and covered over 3,000 miles in the Maritime Provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Prince Edward Island. We started the trip with 19 rigs but unfortunately lost one in Monc- ton, New Brunswick ,due to an accident. No one was seriously injured, but we had to continue on with only 18 rigs. Some of the highlights of this trip included the Bay of Fundy with 25-foot tides, the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo, rides on the Bluenose II and Amoeba sailing vessels, whale watching tours, and some of the most beautiful and breathtaking scenery in the world. Some of our group even took a day trip to Labrador, while others sailed out of St. Anthony, Newfoundland, to view icebergs and whales. We enjoyed many caravan-sponsored dinners with lots of lobster and other seafood. This was an amazing trip which was made even more enjoyable by the outstanding people who traveled with us. Many thanks to all who contributed time and effort to make this a truly memorable trip.

  • ANNUAL MONITORING REPORT SFM Indicators and High Conservation Values
    2019 ANNUAL MONITORING REPORT SFM Indicators and High Conservation Values ANNUAL MONITORING REPORT WOODLANDS PORT HAWKESBURY PAPER 2019 Annual Monitoring Report 1 Executive Summary Safety Environment Forest Management The 2019 Annual Monitoring Report provides a summary of Port Hawkesbury Paper’s safety, environmental, and forest management progress in the Woodlands Unit. Since 2002, Port Hawkesbury Paper (PHP) has been monitoring and reporting on a suite of sustainable forest management indicators to measure its progress towards achieving targets regarding social, economic, environmental, and cultural forest values. Long-term monitoring of these values allows the public to better understand PHP’s forest management activities, and the goals and objectives we set to ensure our forest management is having a positive impact and to implement action items in areas that we are not. This is an important element of continual improvement, which PHP strives for every day. This report also summarizes the effectiveness monitoring program for High Conservation Value Forests (HCVF). These values were first identified in 2008 for Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certification and updated in January 2018 to include new knowledge and information related to species at risk and protected areas. Annual monitoring is conducted to assess the effectiveness of the measures used to maintain or enhance the identified values. 2019 Annual Monitoring Report 2 Contents Executive Summary ........................................................ 1 Contents ........................................................................
