More than Talking Heads?!? How do administrative tribunals hear from the public? A report prepared for the Consumers’ Association of Canada – Manitoba Branch
(2021-04-30)
Consumers and the general public want a say in the decisions which affect them. However, access to meaningful engagement in regulatory decisions is uneven across jurisdictions, as well as across types of tribunals. Scholarship ...
Calibrations of phase abundance, composition, and particle size distribution for olivine-orthopyroxene mixtures from reflectance spectra
(American Geophysical Union, 1986-10-10)
Spectral reflectance measurements of characterized (phase abundance, particle size) mixtures of olivine and orthopyroxene were utilized to define the correlations between spectral and albedo parameters of such assemblages ...
Surface albedo and spectral variability of Ceres
(The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2016-01-29)
Previous observations suggested that Ceres has active, but possibly sporadic, water outgassing as well as possibly varying spectral characteristics over a timescale of months. We used all available data of Ceres collected ...
Small-scale methane dispersion modelling for possible plume sources on the surface of Mars
(Geophysical Research Letters, 2012-10-11)
Intense interest in the characteristics of a methane source on Mars has been spurred by recent observations of a plume structure. The current NASA Mars Science Laboratory and future landers and orbiters will be tasked with ...
Snow covered soils produce N₂O that is lost from forested catchments prior to snowmelt
(American Geophysical Union, 2016-08-25)
The magnitude of net soil nitrous oxide (N₂O) production from a snow‐covered catchment in a northern temperate forest was investigated. There was considerable net soil N₂O‐N production and consumption through the snowpack, ...
The ecology of methane in streams and rivers: patterns, controls, and global significance
(Ecological Society of America, 2015-12-07)
Streams and rivers can substantially modify organic carbon (OC) inputs from terrestrial landscapes, and much of this processing is the result of microbial respiration. While carbon dioxide (CO₂) is the major end‐product ...
Isotopic reconstruction of the weaning process in the archaeological population of Canímar Abajo, Cuba: A Bayesian probabilities mixing models approach
(Public Library of Science, 2017-05-01)
The general lack of well-preserved juvenile skeletal remains from Caribbean archaeological sites has, in the past, prevented evaluations of juvenile dietary changes. Canímar Abajo (Cuba), with a large number of well-preserved ...
Lake Manitoba and its Watershed: Knowledge Gaps & Next Steps
(2016)
Lake Manitoba is a large, shallow prairie lake located in central Manitoba. The lake and watershed are subject to numerous environmental pressures including climate change, land use change, and regulation of water levels, ...
Acidic weathering of basalt and basaltic glass: 1. Near-infrared spectra, thermal infrared spectra, and implications for Mars
(Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2017-01-24)
Acid-leached rinds and coatings occur in volcanic environments on Earth and have been
identified using orbital spectroscopy on Mars, but their development is poorly understood. We simulated long-term open-system acidic ...
Optical and radiometric models of the NOMAD instrument part I: the UVIS channel
(Optics Express, 2015-11-09)
The NOMAD instrument has been designed to best fulfil the science objectives of the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter mission that will be launched in 2016. The instrument is a combination of three channels that cover the UV, ...
