Institutional Innovation for Nature-Based Coastal Adaptation: Lessons from Salt Marsh Restoration in Nova Scotia, Canada

Rahman, H. M. Tuihedur; Sherren, Kate; Van Proosdij, Danika, 1969- (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-11-27)

Sea-levels have been rising at a faster rate than expected. Because of the maladaptive outcomes of engineering-based hard coastal protection infrastructure, policy makers are looking for alternative adaptation approaches ...
An investigation of factors that influence coastal communities' ability to adopt or participate in climate change adaptation planning in the Atlantic Provinces

MacIsaac, Brittany (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2018)

Coastal communities in the Atlantic Provinces are currently facing a number of social and economic challenges related to climate change. Community decision makers in the Atlantic Provinces have expressed further need for ...
Mapping and quantifying early tidal wetland evolution using remotely piloted aircraft system imagery and object-based image analysis

Akyol, Reyhan (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2020)

This research presents recommendations to effectively monitor the transition from former agricultural land back into salt marsh habitat following the dyke managed realignment at the Converse Marsh. For this analysis, two ...
Rapid coastal erosion of ice-bonded deposits on Pelly Island, southeastern Beaufort Sea, Inuvialuit Settlement Region, western Canadian Arctic

Malenfant, Francois (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2022-04)

This paper quantifies rates of shoreline change and investigates the influence of surficial geology on shoreline dynamics between 1950 and 2018 on Pelly Island, located 10 km off the Mackenzie Delta. Long-term changes in ...
The relationship between suspended sediment concentration and sediment deposition within a macro-tidal salt marsh tidal creek system

Blotnicky, Brenden R. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2013)

Currently, in Nova Scotia, the primary source of energy comes mainly from carbon-based sources; there is an interest in developing cleaner, local renewable energy sources, such as tidal power in the Bay of Fundy. Our ...
A research agenda for Fundy: results from the 2006 ‘Fundy Session’ at the Atlantic Geoscience Society Colloquium

Van Proosdij, Danika, 1969-; Kosters, Elisabeth C.; Butler, Karl; Fader, Gordon; Milligan, Tim; Muschenheim, Kee; Parrott, D. Russell (Atlantic Geoscience Society, 2008)

Abstract of a presentation from the Atlantic Geoscience Society 2008 Colloquium and Annual General Meeting held at the Holiday Inn Harbourside, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, on February 1 and 2, 2008.
Seasonal influences on the ecomorphodynamics of a hypertidal salt marsh and tidal creek system

Poirier, Emma (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)

Seasonal variability in the ecomorphodynamics of a Bay of Fundy tidal creek and salt marsh was analyzed to better understand how these systems might respond to potential tidal energy extraction. Data were collected for 62 ...
Spatial and temporal variations in sediment composition within newly restored salt marshes

Rogers, Elise (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)

Salt marsh ecosystems are highly vulnerable to climate change and sea-level rise. Adaptation strategies such as managed realignment, or dyke realignment, allow for the growth of new salt marsh in areas where one had ...
Understanding parameters for site characterization and their influence on restoration trajectory in tidal marshes in Nova Scotia, Canada

Williams, Kayla J. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2023-09-01)

This study investigated the characterization and trajectory of ten restoration and six natural tidal marshes by assessing site similarities and differences. Using previously collected data, a PCA identified three groupings ...
Understanding the effects of managed realignment schemes on salt marsh recovery by assessing the spatiotemporal patterns of vegetation colonization in the Bay of Fundy, Canada

Nichols, Kailey D. M. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2023-04-26)

As a coastal region, Atlantic Canada is highly susceptible to the impacts imposed by climate change. As hazards such as sea level rise, storm surge, and shoreline erosion are becoming more widely recognized, there is an ...
Understanding the Villa di Tito and the Velino valley within central Italy by creating spatial connections

Payne, Rebecca (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2023-04-28)

This research aims to understand the placement of the Villa di Tito (Villa of Titus) located in the central Apennines in the territory historically known as the Sabine Territory. This research applies ArcGIS Pro and is ...
The wave dissipation potential of Spartina alterniflora in the Bay of Fundy

Ngulube, Makadunyiswe D. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)

The purpose of this research is to determine the wave dissipation potential of salt marsh vegetation in a temperate, hypertidal estuary. The study site is Clifton Marsh, Nova Scotia, in the Bay of Fundy. This site was ...
Where’d the coast go? : geoarchaeological exploration of upper Bay of Fundy coastal histories in Nova Scotia

Weatherbee, Wesley James (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)

This thesis uses examines coastal histories in the upper Bay of Fundy through a lens of landscape geoarchaeology aided by modern technologies and informed by coastal geomorphology. Three approaches examine multiple ...
