Applied Surficial Geology Program: Aggregate Potential Mapping, Squamish Area

This paper outlines a new program of the British Columhia Geological Surbey Branch in the field of applied surficial geology. Its oh.jectivcs are to develop methodologies whereby informatiw from about 2000 existing surficial geology maps, in conjunction with subsurface data, can he used to produce derivative products in applied fields such as aggre@xte resource\. neological hazards, waste dispo...

Flood Risk Mapping Using LiDAR for Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, Canada

A significant portion of the Canadian Maritime coastline has been surveyed with airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). The purpose of these surveys has been to map the risk of flooding from storm surges and projected long-term sea-level rise from climate change and to include projects in all three Maritime Provinces: Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. LiDAR provides th...

Are methylmercury concentrations in the wetlands of Kejimkujik National Park, Nova Scotia, Canada, dependent on geology?

In the relatively pristine ecosystem in Kejimkujik Park, Nova Scotia, methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations in loons, Gavia immer, are among the highest recorded anywhere in the world. This study investigated the influence of bedrock lithology on MeHg concentrations in wetlands. Twenty-five different wetland field sites were sampled over four different bedrock lithologies; Kejimkujik monzogranite...
