Bedford Institute of Oceanography Biennial Review 1977&1978 The cover shows the CSS Hudson in Scott Inlet, Baffin Island, on September 6, 1977. The cliffs in the back- ground are 300 or more metres high. In the fall of 1976, BIO scientists had observed an oil slick off the Inlet but because of ice conditions at the time they were unable to locate its source or to determine its extent. So in 1977 and again in 1978, Hudson returned to measure the background levels of petroleum residues in the eastern Arctic and also to investigate the geology of the Baffin Island shelf. Together the chemical and geological studies demonstrated that the slick at Scott Inlet is the result of natural seepage of petroleum from the walls and bottom of the submarine trough that cuts across the continental shelf in this area. These studies are discussed further on pages 19 and 20 and 172 to 174. Cover photograph by Roger Be/anger.

The Bedford Institute of Oceanography is a Government of Canada research complex located on the shores of Bedford Basin in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The Institute conducts oceanographic studies and hydrographic surveys in a wide range of marine environments. Seven main groups affiliated with two departments are housed at BIO: • the Atlantic Oceanographic Laboratory, Marine Ecology Laboratory, and Institute Facilities constitute Ocean and Aquatic Sciences, Atlantic of the Fisheries and Marine Service, Department of Fisheries and the Environment; • the Marine Fish Division is part of the Resource Branch, Fisheries Management, Fisheries and Marine Service, Department of Fisheries and the Environment; • the Seabird Research Unit is part of the Canadian Wildlife Service, Environmental Management Service, Department of Fisheries and the Environment; • the Atlantic Geoscience Centre is part of the Geological Survey of Canada, Science and Technology, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources; and l the East Coast Office of the Resource Management and Conservation Branch is part of the Energy Policy Sector of the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources. Despite the various affiliations of staff at BIO there is a common theme to the work, and a management committee composed of members from some of the different groups directs efforts and keeps communication lines open. iv Contents Abbreviations and Acronyms .

Since 1976, the cclh has published Labour / Le Travail, Canada’s pre-eminent scholarly journal of labour studies. It also publishes books, now in conjunction with AU Press, that focus on the history of Canada’s working people and their organizations. The emphasis in this series is on materials that are accessible to labour audiences as well as university audiences rather than simply on scholarly studies in the labour area. This includes documentary collections, oral histories, autobiographies, biographies, and provincial and local labour movement histories with a popular bent. series titles Champagne and Meatballs: Adventures of a Canadian Communist Bert Whyte, edited and with an introduction by Larry Hannant Working People in Alberta: A History Alvin Finkel, with contributions by Jason Foster, Winston Gereluk, Jennifer Kelly and Dan Cui, James Muir, Joan Schiebelbein, Jim Selby, and Eric Strikwerda Union Power: Solidarity and Struggle in Niagara Carmela Patrias and Larry Savage The Wages of Relief: Cities and the Unemployed in Prairie Canada, 1929–39 Eric Strikwerda Provincial Solidarities: A History of the New Brunswick Federation of Labour / Solidarités provinciales: Histoire de la Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Nouveau-Brunswick David Frank A History of the New Brunswick Federation of Labour david fra nk canadian committee on labour history Copyright © 2013 David Frank Published by AU Press, Athabasca University 1200, 10011 – 109 Street, Edmonton, ab t5j 3s8 isbn 978-1-927356-23-4 (print) 978-1-927356-24-1 (pdf) 978-1-927356-25-8 (epub) A volume in Working Canadians: Books from the cclh issn 1925-1831 (print) 1925-184x (digital) Cover and interior design by Natalie Olsen, Kisscut Design.

Based on magnetostratigraphy, 14C ages and 230Th-231Pa excess extinction ages in a series of sedimentary cores raised from the Mendeleev and Lomonosov ridges by the R/V Polarstern, Healy and MV Xue Long ice-breakers, with chronological complementary information from pre-2000 studies, we have been able to estimate sedimentation rates ranging from less than a few mm/ka to a few cm/ka along these ridges, with the highest accumulation rates eastward, near the ice-factories of the Russian shelf.
