CATs is the outgrowth of a pilot effort, the Arctic Canada Watch, established in 1997. Moorings enabling year-round measurements were first placed in western Lancaster Sound and Cardigan Strait in 1998. These carried instruments to measure current, temperature and salinity and utilized innovations to address the unique challenges of observing: 1) current direction near the geomagnetic pole; 2) salinity within the hazardous 30-m zone beneath drifting ice pack. These early installations have been maintained and augmented since 1998. In 2003, a large array of instruments was installed across the third principal path for Canadian Arctic through-flow, Nares Strait.

  • Paleocene Alkaline Volcanism in the Nares Strait Region Related to Strike-Slip Tectonics
    Paleocene Alkaline Volcanism in the Nares Strait Region Related to Strike-slip Tectonics Solveig Estrada & Detlef Damaske Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR), Hannover, Germany ([email protected]) The tectonic development of the North Atlantic, the Labrador Sea/Baffin Bay and the Eurasian Basin of Arctic Ocean led to relative movements between the Greenland Plate and the North American Plate. There has been a debate for many years, whether the Nares Strait between northwest Greenland and Ellesmere Island marks an ancient plate boundary in terms of a left-lateral transform fault (Wegener Fault) or whether there was no movement between Greenland and Ellesmere Island at all. New data were acquired during joint German-Canadian geological field work on northeast Ellesmere Island 1998-2000 (Mayr 2008), followed in 2001 by a geoscience cruise in Nares Strait (Tessensohn et al. 2006). Indications for sinistral strike-slip movements followed by compressive tectonics were found at the western margin of northern Nares Strait (Saalmann et al. 2005). Paleogene basins on Judge Daly Promontory, northeast Ellesmere Island, are bounded by a complex pattern of strike-slip and thrust faults. The clastic sediments in the basins are rich in volcanogenic material. Volcanic pebbles within the Cape Back basin near Nares Strait are derived from lava flows and ignimbrites of a continental rift-related, strongly differentiated, highly incompatible element enriched, alkaline volcanic suite (Estrada et al. 2009). 40Ar/39Ar amphibole and alkali feldspar ages indicate that volcanism was active around 61–58 Ma and was probably contemporaneous with sedimentation within the Paleogene pull-apart basins on Judge Daly Promontory formed by sinistral strike-slip tectonics parallel to the present-day Nares Strait.

Especially convincing is evidence, presented by DAMASKE & OAKEY (2006), that at least one basic dyke of Neoproterozoic age extends across Smith Sound from Inglefield Land to inshore eastern Ellesmere Island without any recognizable strike slip offset. INTRODUCTION These results confirm that no major sinistral fault exists in southern Nares Strait. It is apparent to both earth scientists and the general public To account for the absence of a Wegener Fault in most parts of Nares Strait, that the shape of both coastlines and continental margins of the present paper would locate the late Paleocene-Eocene Greenland plate boundary on an interconnected system of faults that are 1) traced through western Greenland and eastern Arctic Canada provide for a Jones Sound in the south, 2) lie between the Eurekan Orogen and the Precam- satisfactory restoration of the opposing lands.

  • Early Ontogeny of Jurassic Bakevelliids and Their Bearing on Bivalve Evolution
    Early ontogeny of Jurassic bakevelliids and their bearing on bivalve evolution NIKOLAUS MALCHUS Malchus, N. 2004. Early ontogeny of Jurassic bakevelliids and their bearing on bivalve evolution. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 49 (1): 85–110. Larval and earliest postlarval shells of Jurassic Bakevelliidae are described for the first time and some complementary data are given concerning larval shells of oysters and pinnids. Two new larval shell characters, a posterodorsal outlet and shell septum are described. The outlet is homologous to the posterodorsal notch of oysters and posterodorsal ridge of arcoids. It probably reflects the presence of the soft anatomical character post−anal tuft, which, among Pteriomorphia, was only known from oysters. A shell septum was so far only known from Cassianellidae, Lithiotidae, and the bakevelliid Kobayashites. A review of early ontogenetic shell characters strongly suggests a basal dichotomy within the Pterio− morphia separating taxa with opisthogyrate larval shells, such as most (or all?) Praecardioida, Pinnoida, Pterioida (Bakevelliidae, Cassianellidae, all living Pterioidea), and Ostreoida from all other groups. The Pinnidae appear to be closely related to the Pterioida, and the Bakevelliidae belong to the stem line of the Cassianellidae, Lithiotidae, Pterioidea, and Ostreoidea. The latter two superfamilies comprise a well constrained clade. These interpretations are con− sistent with recent phylogenetic hypotheses based on palaeontological and genetic (18S and 28S mtDNA) data. A more detailed phylogeny is hampered by the fact that many larval shell characters are rather ancient plesiomorphies. Key words: Bivalvia, Pteriomorphia, Bakevelliidae, larval shell, ontogeny, phylogeny.

  • Molluscs: Bivalvia Laura A
    I Molluscs: Bivalvia Laura A. Brink The bivalves (also known as lamellibranchs or pelecypods) include such groups as the clams, mussels, scallops, and oysters. The class Bivalvia is one of the largest groups of invertebrates on the Pacific Northwest coast, with well over 150 species encompassing nine orders and 42 families (Table 1).Despite the fact that this class of mollusc is well represented in the Pacific Northwest, the larvae of only a few species have been identified and described in the scientific literature. The larvae of only 15 of the more common bivalves are described in this chapter. Six of these are introductions from the East Coast. There has been quite a bit of work aimed at rearing West Coast bivalve larvae in the lab, but this has lead to few larval descriptions. Reproduction and Development Most marine bivalves, like many marine invertebrates, are broadcast spawners (e.g., Crassostrea gigas, Macoma balthica, and Mya arenaria,); the males expel sperm into the seawater while females expel their eggs (Fig. 1).Fertilization of an egg by a sperm occurs within the water column. In some species, fertilization occurs within the female, with the zygotes then text continues on page 134 Fig. I.

  • Review and Assessment of the Literature on Marine Benthic Molluscs (Amphineura, Bivalvia, Gastropoda) in Newfoundland and Labrador Waters
    NAFO Sci. Coun. Studies, 10 93-108 Review and Assessment of the Literature on Marine Benthic Molluscs (Amphineura, Bivalvia, Gastropoda) in Newfoundland and Labrador Waters Kent D. Gilkinson Fudge, Lane and Associates Ltd., 607 Torbay Road P. O. Box 9370, Stn B, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada A1A 2Y3 Abstract A review of the existing literature on marine benthic molluscs (Amphineura, Bivalvia, Gastropoda) in the Newfoundland-Labrador region indicated that at least 158 species, representing 69 fami lies, have been referenced in reports of scientific investigations. Less than one-third of these reports have appeared in the primary literature, while the remainder exist as manuscript reports and university theses. Several species (e.g. Mytilus edulis and Placopecten magellanicus) have been studied intensively, but most species have received only very cursory attention. Specific inventories of molluscs are rare. Most zoo benthic surveys which include molluscs fall into one of three categories: fisheries-related investigations, resource assessment studies, and environmental impact studies. Additionally, the literature contain numerous academic (university) studies. Analysis of the geographic distribution of research effort indicated that most of the work was concentrated in southeastern Newfoundland (Avalon Peninsula) in proximity to the major institutions at SI.

  • Individual Winter Movement Strategies in Two Species of Murre (Uria Spp.) in the Northwest Atlantic
    Individual Winter Movement Strategies in Two Species of Murre (Uria spp.) in the Northwest Atlantic Laura A. McFarlane Tranquilla1*, William A. Montevecchi1, David A. Fifield1¤, April Hedd1, Anthony J. Gaston2, Gregory J. Robertson3, Richard A. Phillips4 1 Cognitive and Behavioural Ecology, Department of Psychology, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, 2 Environment Canada, National Wildlife Research Centre, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, 3 Wildlife Research Division, Environment Canada, Mount Pearl, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, 4 British Antarctic Survey, Natural Environment Research Council, Cambridge, United Kingdom Abstract Individual wintering strategies and patterns of winter site fidelity in successive years are highly variable among seabird species. Yet, an understanding of consistency in timing of movements and the degree of site fidelity is essential for assessing how seabird populations might be influenced by, and respond to, changing conditions on wintering grounds. To explore annual variation in migratory movements and wintering areas, we applied bird-borne geolocators on Thick-billed Murres (Uria lomvia, n = 19) and Common Murres (U. aalge, n = 20) from 5 colonies in the Northwest Atlantic for 2–4 consecutive years. Thick-billed Murres ranged widely and among-individual wintering strategies were highly variable, whereas most Common Murres wintered relatively near their colonies, with among-individual variation represented more by the relative use of inshore vs. offshore habitat. Within individuals, some aspects of the wintering strategy were more repeatable than others: colony arrival and departure dates were more consistent by individual Common than Thick-billed Murres, while the sizes of home ranges (95% utilization distributions) and distances travelled to wintering area were more repeatable for both species.
