Abstract:
In Canada’s boreal forest region, there is increasing demand for practical regeneration strategies that will recreate mixed stands of white spruce ( Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) and trembling aspen ( Populus tremuloides Michx.). In 2002, we implemented an experiment in both west-central Alberta and northeastern Ontario to better understand the effects of herbaceous and woody vegetation control on crop tree survival and growth, within the context of prescription development for the regeneration of a single-cohort, intimate mixture of spruce and aspen. After five growing seasons, good spruce growth, health, and survival were observed with 2 m radial treatments consisting of herbaceous and woody (i.e., complete) vegetation control centred on trees planted at 5 m spacing. These spruce were 4%–64% taller and 68%–178% larger in stem diameter than untended trees, leading to 167%–1166% gains in stem volume, and were at least equivalent to the same stock grown at 2.5 m spacing and provided with complete, continuous relief from competition. Removing only the woody vegetation within treated radii stimulated herbaceous competition, resulting in reduced survival and growth of spruce and reduced height of surrounding aspen. Early results suggest that spot treatments that provide 2–4 years of relief from herbaceous and woody competition may offer a practical strategy for growing spruce with aspen.

Abstract:
In this, the second of two papers on the development and application of a regional model of surface water acidification, we present the results of initial applications of the model to sensitive regions of eastern Canada. Data used for regional application of the model were obtained from a variety of sources, including acidic sulphate deposition monitoring data and regional lake water chemistry surveys. While these data do not provide a random sample of eastern Canadian lakes, we argue that there are no a priori reasons for expecting highly misleading biases in the data. Results of model applications are presented for observed 1980 sulphate deposition levels and for three alternative emission scenarios. The emission scenarios were simulated using a transfer matrix derived from the AES-LRTAP model. The results suggest that substantial additional damage (declines in surface water alkalinity and pH) is expected in some regions (e.g. northeastern Ontario), even at current deposition levels. The consequences of simple emission reduction strategies differ significantly among regions, suggesting that more complex strategies may be required to produce equitable benefits. To assist interpretation of a complex array of results, we propose an integrated representation of regional impacts that uses quantile-quantile plots of regional distributions of lake chemistry. Finally, we argue that while the results presented are highly uncertain, there are reasons to believe that, if anything, our damage estimates are conservative.

Abstract:
The effects of forest disturbance on streamflow from small (<10 km2) basins have been well documented; however, implications of such disturbance for streamflow from relatively large rivers in the Canadian boreal forest are unclear. Landsat imagery was used to determine changes in the type, amount, and location of forest disturbance in northeastern Ontario between 1985 and 1990. These were compared with streamflow responses from medium- and large-scale basins in the region. Harvesting dominated forest disturbance, and total disturbance as of 1990 ranged from 25% of basin area in the northwest part of the region to 5% in the southeast. There was limited streamflow response to land cover changes, with no definitive changes in water year runoff or peak flow magnitude and timing. This likely reflects the ability of relatively large basins to buffer the hydrologic impacts of the small degree of recent forest disturbance, combined with the influence of climatic variability on temporal trends in basin streamflow. However, disturbance was associated with increases in moderate and low flows from medium and large basins, respectively, which occurred largely during summer months.

Abstract:
Thousands of lakes in northeastern Ontario, Canada, have been acidified by sulphur deposition associated with emissions from the Sudbury area metal smelters. However, water quality improvements including increased pH and reduced sulphate concentrations have followed large reductions in Sudbury emissions that were implemented, beginning in the 1970s. Substantial decreases in Ca concentrations accompanied these other changes in lakewater chemistry. Monitoring of 38 lakes 20–128 km from Sudbury showed declines in Ca concentrations, averaging 2.7 µeq·L–1·year–1, over the period 1981–1999. Declines were particularly apparent during the 1990s, averaging 3.8 µeq·L–1·year–1. Paleolimnological reconstructions of the long-term Ca patterns in six lakes suggest that general lakewater Ca declines occurred through much of the 20th century. Comparison of recent measured Ca concentrations in 16 lakes with diatom-inferred pre-industrial Ca concentrations indicates that overall decreases in Ca have been large, averaging 74.6 µeq·L–1 or 46%. Long-term Ca patterns may reflect a combination of factors including climatic changes, forest harvesting activities, and leaching by acid deposition, the effects of which we can not separate. Calcium declines have biological implications that will need to be considered in the development of appropriate targets as these lakes continue to recover from acidification.

Abstract:
Abstract To date, most analyses of hydro-electric development portray the environment and Aboriginal Peoples as victims unable to alter or resist its intrusion on to the landscape. However, an examination of the Mattagami river developments in northeastern Ontario illustrates that environmental conditions constantly influence the shape and development of the hydro-electric system. Also, while the ability of the northeastern Aboriginal Peoples to affect hydro-electric development is limited for much of this century, by the 1990s, their persistence and perseverance coalesces with changing court decisions and legislation, empowering them to negotiate with Ontario Hydro a moratorium on further development on the Mattagami River.

Abstract:
Vertical pH profiles were recorded in sediment cores from four of the Turkey Lakes in the Algoma region of northern Ontario. In the three upper lakes of the chain, median down-core pH, which should be correlated with historic lake water pH, was below the median down-core pH for other lakes in northeastern Ontario. The Turkey lakes had probably been relatively acidic, therefore, since pre-industrial times. Down-core pH tended to be lower in upstream lakes. While a pH minimum was typically observed at the sediment–water interface, the surficial sediments were not acidified relative to down-core sediments.

Abstract:
A deep channel in bedrock extending to more than 25 m below sea level occurs along the north shore of the otherwise uniformly shallow Kingston basin of Lake Ontario. Bathymetric and subbottom acoustic data are used to map the topography of the channel and to reconstruct its late glacial and postglacial sedimentary history. The results are interpreted as showing that the large channel and smaller channels nearby were created by high-velocity subglacial meltwater flow. Acoustic facies assemblages of sediments deposited in the channels record patchy deposition, or deposition followed by partial erosion, of glacial sediments on the bedrock of the channel floor, followed by deposition and episodic erosion of glaciolacustrine sediment in a high-energy, ice-proximal lake. Palaeoslope analysis confirms that the early Holocene low-water phase of Lake Ontario resulted in the development of a fluvial system in part of the channel. Water level was controlled by a sill at Kingston. Kingston basin, the Bay of Quinte, and possibly, for a short time, a much larger area of the upper Great Lakes drained through the channel. However, for most of the period, until it was flooded by the rising waters of Lake Ontario, the channel was occupied by a small river on a wide floodplain or it was flanked by broad marshes.

Abstract:
Examining hydro-electric development, as it occurred in northeastern Ontario, sheds a new and different light on the history of technology and development in Canada. The northeastern Ontario hydro-electric system (Mattagami and Abitibi watersheds) developed over a period of fifty years. It developed through a process of interaction between technology and the environment, native and non-native relations, metropolitan business and political interests and northern natural resources. Once Aboriginal rights and environmental obstacles had been removed through treaty negotiations and technical innovations, early hydro-electric development took place under private auspices by individual entrepreneurs such as Frank Cochrane or big concerns such as Nesbitt Thomson, operating out of Montreal. Their activities, for the most part, established a series of independent generating stations serving specific customers in northeastern Ontario, with some interconnection with Quebec. After 1944, with the entry of Ontario Hydro into northeastern Ontario and the elimination of Nesbitt Thomson and other private developers, the amalgamation of the northeastern Ontario system into the southern Ontario system began in earnest. Amalgamation resulted from the interweaving of various factors not the least of which was continued drought in the northeast rendering the system incapable of supplying the region's power needs. Studying the influence of rivers on the development of technical systems proves that nature does interact with technology and therefore should not be ignored. In the example provided by this dissertation, the river influences the shape of the hydro-electric system significantly. Studying the interaction between hydro-electric developers, the environment and First Nations illustrates that, even though they are harmed by development, the latter two actors are not helpless. To portray them as victims denigrates their ability to shape development and adapt to adverse conditions. Also, studying the interaction between the metropole and the northeastern region demonstrates that the hinterland is more than a backdrop to metropolitan development. It too influences the decisions of the metropolitan systems builders. Because the hinterland, the environment and the First Nations retain their own identity and shape the system's development, the metaphor used to describe systems development should acknowledge turmoil or conflict but additionally convey an image of adaptation and continuity; hence the metaphor of cross-currents. Turmoil occurs when cross-currents intersect in a river's course but this act of intermingling also includes adaptation thus allowing for continuity. Including the rivers themselves in the study of hydro-electric development also illuminates a feature of development that has rarely been discussed: co-operation. In the northeast, co-operation in certain areas proved necessary to allow and further the hydro-electric system's growth. This element of co-operation is a timely characteristic to note. In today's environment of limited energy resources, increasing criticism of the ideology of "Progress" and increasing respect for First Nations' rights and the environment, co-operation is a more acceptable approach to development than conquest and domination.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the dynamic relationship between the production of knowledge and the operation of power in the context of water management In northeastern Thailand and the Mekong region. Employing Weber's ideal types of legitimate authority in exploring the practices of hydrologists, hydro-bureaucratic agencies, and an Isan community, the thesis argues that knowledge and power in water management are omnipresent in different agents, expressed through different forms and mechanisms, and legitimized by different types of authority. This thesis examines three social institutions underpinning water management in Thailand and the Mekong region: the school, the state, and the sacred. The school component explores the history of Thailand's first irrigation school and contemporary practices of trainee hydrologists in the classrooms and laboratories. It shows that the institutionalization of hydrology schools and the construction of the community of water experts are a social process with a close link to regional cooperation and the process of state-making. In addition, in constructing legitimacy for their expertise in water management, different types of authority are socially devised and intermingled beyond the technical features of hydrological science. The state component deals with the implementation of water projects in northeastern Thailand. It argues that the modem Thai state had deployed water development projects as a political apparatus in counter-insurgency and to depoliticize contentious problems that beset its northeastern region. The thesis also explores the local interactions with the state, as seen through an ethnographic study of a village in northeastern Thailand. The ethnography shows that the villagers employed bureaucratic means in order to make the community legible to the state's development programs. The idea of how community is being simplified and reconstructed from within in order to gain benefit from state projects will be explored. outcomes. The sacred component focuses on the villagers' practices of community ceremonies to deal with different types of authority. Drawing on the ethnographic study of the villagers' participation in ceremonies of local government, water-related traditions and festivals and the community worship of ancestral spirit, the thesis argues that power does not belong to one particular agent but needs to be experienced through ritualistic associations with multiple forms of authority. The thesis also shows the ways in which local people manipulate and cooperate with different types of authority to ensure positive community development. In conclusion, the thesis suggests the necessity of looking beyond the conventional academic view of power as being monopolized, rigid, and repressive. Power and knowledge in water management can rather be viewed as hydraulics; that can be circulated, transformed and performed rather than only possessed by one particular agent or institution. This process of hydraulics of power and knowledge can be created through the association with different types of legitimate authority.

Abstract:
This research analyzed declining resource-based communities in the Rainy River District, Ontario, that is typical of the Canadian middle north, and explored their central features using several qualitative and participatory techniques. This work disengages from traditional demographic-economic analysis of decline and offers an alternative multidimensional interpretation. The analysis centers on the role of networks, diverse forms of capitals and conflicts. Literature on regional development, New Regionalism, social networks, capital, conflict, and complex evolving social systems informed the conceptual framework to guiding this research. Among other findings this research demonstrated that: First, economic-demographic “size type” indicators are insufficient to explain the complex, multidimensional, network-based, conflictive and highly politicized nature of decline. Policies based on these type of indicators are misleading and can reinforce the path dependence process of single-industry rural communities. Second, networks, capital and conflicts can be significant in the process of decline. They can speed or slow the process of change. Potentially, they can be transformed and used when planning for decline so as to steer the process toward sustainable rural planning and development. Additional factors identified and proposed for this framework included: learning, interaction, cooperation, connectivity, and psychological and institutional factors restricting rural communities from reacting to decline, and escaping from path dependence. Third, decline should be recognized in order to start a process of planning for decline and rural development. Top-down planning and policy initiatives in the Rainy River District and across North Western Ontario have not recognized a general planning gap and have glossed over the need to approach decline, and rural development generally, using a local perspective and grassroots initiatives of people and communities. Basic elements to plan for decline in rural regions were described. Fourth, rural regions, ethnicity, and power, are insufficiently recognized by New Regionalism theory. Including these elements can benefit the theory and practice of rural planning and development. Analysis of networks and planning is a mutually reinforcing approach, useful for the study and planning of rural areas. Finally, rural decline studies in Canada should pay attention to factors of ethnicity. Significant structural violence against First Nations remains in rural regions.

Abstract:
AbstractMarine plastic pollution is a global problem, affecting a wide variety of marine organisms through the processes of ingestion and entanglement. Despite numerous reports of entanglement and ingestion of plastic debris by marine mammals, there is a lack of clear understanding regarding the spatial distribution and drivers of interactions between marine mammals and marine plastics in the northeastern Atlantic area. To address this, we undertook a synthesis of the published and grey literature in order to acquire information on known documented cases of ingestion of, or entanglement with, debris relating to marine mammals. We found that 62% of the 37 species present in the region were reported to have either ingested, or become entangled in, debris. There was a predominance of threadlike plastic related to entanglement, but it was also present in the ingestion data. However, we observed a great deal of inconsistency regarding the reporting of marine mammal–debris interactions. We therefore highlight the need for and recommend the development of a standardised approach to recording debris interacting with marine mammals.

Abstract:
AbstractIn this chapter I explore the relationship between language and environment loss and the use of heritage languages in resistance related to the defense of natural resources. This link is shown by analyzing the case of Nahua and Tének communities of the Huasteca Potosina in northeastern Mexico, which between 2013 and 2018 were involved in a range of collective actions against the threat of fracking, a highly damaging method of gas and oil extraction. One particularly interesting aspect of these activities was the spontaneous use of the Indigenous languages Nahuatl and Tének in various anti-fracking activities. Against the backdrop of several centuries of gradual reduction of the vitality of the two languages, this new domain of their use is a surprising but very welcome development for language revitalization. Using insights from participant observation and interviews, I demonstrate that the motivation to use Indigenous languages was not only to facilitate communication, but also to strengthen the Indigenous regional identity as a tool for solidarity building and Indigenous resistance against damaging extraction projects. I also show that fracking is perceived as not only a threat to the environment but also to the native cultures of the region.

Abstract:
The São Francisco Valley, in the northeastern semi-arid region of Brazil, has attracted national and international wineries due to investments in research and technology, resulting in unusual growth in cities in the northeastern backlands. With 300 days of sunshine per year, it has developed irrigated agriculture, with grapes as the main product, allowing for up to two and a half harvests per year. The government and entrepreneurs are preparing for tourism, focusing on wine production. A study is analyzing the actions of social actors in wine tourism, using a qualitative and bibliographic approach, as well as visits to municipalities and wineries. Wine tourism is seen as a strategy to develop destinations and integrate micro-regions, promoting combined attractions and integration between rural areas and society in general. The results will provide theoretical and practical considerations for viticulture and tourism.

Abstract:
We describe a case of meningocele, cranioschisis, and procephalic hypoplasia in a calf in the semi-arid region of Paraíba, Northeastern Brazil. A three-day-old male calf with no defined racial pattern was referred for clinical evaluation at the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Campina Grande with an increase in fluctuating volume, completely covered by intact skin located in the frontal region of the head. Due to the unfavorable prognosis, the animal was euthanized. At necropsy, herniation of the meninges was observed through an opening in the midline of the frontal bone of the skull containing approximately 1300 ml of reddish fluid. The brain presented incomplete formation, with the absence of the telencephalic hemispheres, but with a well-formed brainstem, a condition consistent with procephalic hypoplasia. Histologically, congestion was observed in the ventral part of the telencephalon and caudate nuclei, and areas of hemorrhage, corpora amylacea, discrete mineralization, and axonal spheroids in the neuropile. Meningocele and cranioschisis are rare malformations, which are always associated, and have an unclear etiology in most cases.

Abstract:
The tourism sector has seen great development in recent years and expanding its forms to target different segments of tourists, and Ethnic tourism is one such form, which has been a common strategy used by many nations to promote economic and cultural growth and aid in the preservation of ethnic heritage. The eastern Himalayan region includes Bhutan, southern, central, and eastern Nepal along with Northeast India. Each region has different characteristics and features, which have contributed to the region's rich ecological and cultural diversity. The Northeastern region of the Eastern Himalayas is dominated by many indigenous communities which can be distinguished on traditional values, lifestyle, and customs. Ethnic tourism in the northeastern region has a considerable number of positive impacts which can enhance the value of the present tourism scenario of the region. Thus, this study shall focus on the prospects of this special interest tourism form, while addressing the need for improvement of planning strategies for the growth of ethnic tourism.

Abstract:
This article presents a detailed case study on the evaporation and water level of the lagoons at the Cooperativa Agrícola Mixta São Roque Ltda Wastewater Treatment Plant located in Salvador das Missões, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The objective of the study was to quantify the evaporative losses at the Wastewater Treatment Plant and understand the behavior of the reservoirs in the region. To achieve this, information on precipitation and evaporation rates for the area of the lagoons was collected. The evaporation of water from open-air reservoirs is a factor that affects various sectors such as human water supply, energy production, livestock, agriculture, and industries. The northeastern region of Brazil, in particular, has climatic characteristics that result in approximately 70,000 open-air reservoirs due to the semi-arid climate and erratic rainfall. The Jensen-Haise method, which has proven to be efficient in arid and semi-arid regions, was used to calculate the daily evaporation rates for each month of the study period. The main factors that affect evaporation are temperature, wind, air pressure, humidity, and radiation. The results showed that the average daily value of evaporated effluent is justified and in line with the calculated values of water evaporation for the region. Additionally, data on the volume of captured rainfall and the increase in the lagoons' water level due to rainfall were presented.

Abstract:
The report includes an analysis of the state, trends and prospects of beekeeping and its relationship with tourism in Bulgaria. Beekeeping is considered as a branch of agriculture from its inception after the Liberation to our time and dynamics of development. The report presents the resource base (traditions, condition, production and sale of honey). For the needs of the analysis, data from the NSI, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, the associations of beekeepers, processors and traders of honey and bee products, the Ministry of Tourism and branch tourist organizations and a survey of the author were used. Beekeeping is presented in the relation as a resource for the development of apitourism (bee tourism), as a non-traditional attractive specialized species, supporting farmers through non-agricultural practices.

Abstract Public private partnership has played a mayor role in development and successful operation of the current KMS Peel Waste-to-Energy Plant located in Peel Region, Ontario. On December 10, 1998 KMS Peel Inc. and the Region of Peel entered into an agreement to expand the waste-to-energy facility by 36,000 tonnes (one additional incineration unit). Due to expansion, new, more stringent emission limits were imposed by the latest Ontario Ministry of Environment A-7 Guideline and the Canada-Wide Standards developed by Canadian Council of Ministers of Environment. A Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system with a sodium tetrasulphide injection was selected to supplement the existing dry scrubber/fabric filter air pollution control system for additional reduction in mercury, nitrogen oxides and dioxins/furans emissions. With the upgraded air pollution control technology, the facility will be able to meet the latest emission standards and, to a certain degree, any new standards that may be enforced in future years. This paper outlines a partnership model that has been successfully implemented in Ontario and has contributed to the public accepting waste-to-energy as integral part of the waste management system, ultimately resulting in facility expansion. It also describes the current facility and upgrade to the existing air pollution control system.

Abstract:
The Regional Municipality of York is located immediately north of the City of Toronto. It is the fastest growing municipality in Ontario. The rapid expansion of residential, industrial and commercial development in the municipality has led to a weakness in the electrical and gas infrastructure. The Ontario Power Authority (the agency responsible for managing the power requirements in the Province of Ontario) has recognized this weakness and has developed plans calling for a new gas-fired generating station and improvements to the electrical grid. The shortages of gas supply and electricity have not developed overnight. Hydro One, which runs the electrical grid, initiated a supply study in 2002. The study recommended upgrading a 115 kV transmission line to a double circuit 230 kV transmission line on the existing corridor. The ensuing public outcry resulted in the municipality passing a resolution against the upgrade. Similarly, a large gas-fired generating station proposal was abandoned as the result of citizen opposition. In 2003, the Ontario Energy Board approved new Environmental Guidelines for the Location, Construction and Operation of Hydrocarbon Pipelines and Facilities in Ontario. The guidelines include specific new requirements for planning pipelines in urban areas. Among other things, these requirements involve the identification of indirectly affected landowners and a more detailed analysis of public issues and how they were resolved. It became clear that in order to achieve regulatory success, not only would the public have to become actively engaged in the decision-making early in the process, the technical reviewers (federal, provincial and municipal agencies) would likewise have to be actively involved. Through the use of two case studies of proposed large-diameter natural gas pipelines initiated in York Region in 2005, this paper describes the techniques used to engage the public and the regulators. It also describes how the public involvement requirements contained in the Ontario Energy Board’s new guidelines were incorporated into the planning process. The case studies begin with a rationale for the study area selected. A description of issues follows. The techniques used to address these issues and the success of the program are documented. Techniques include face-to-face project initiation meetings, use of technical and citizens’ advisory committees, sub-committee meetings to resolve specific issues and site-specific field work. The study results illustrate that it is possible to plan a right-of-way in such a manner as to satisfy the general public and regulators, be compatible with existing development, conform to the new Ontario Energy Board guidelines and minimize the amount of remedial work required to mitigate the impacts occurring on and adjacent to the right-of-way.

Abstract:
A Deep Geologic Repository (DGR) for Low and Intermediate Level radioactive waste has been proposed by Ontario Power Generation for the Bruce Nuclear Power Development site in Ontario, Canada. The DGR is to be constructed at a depth of about 680 m below ground surface within the argillaceous Ordovician limestone of the Cobourg Formation. This paper describes a regional-scale geologic conceptual model for the DGR site and analyzes flow system evolution using the FRAC3DVS-OPG flow and transport model. This provides a framework for the assembly and integration of site-specific geoscientific data that explains and illustrates the factors that influence the predicted long-term performance of the geosphere barrier. In the geologic framework of the Province of Ontario, the Bruce DGR is located at the eastern edge of the Michigan Basin. Borehole logs covering Southern Ontario combined with site specific data have been used to define the structural contours at the regional and site scale of the 31 sedimentary strata that may be present above the Precambrian crystalline basement rock. The regional-scale domain encompasses an 18.500km2 region extending from Lake Huron to Georgian Bay. The groundwater zone below the Devonian is characterized by units containing stagnant water having high concentrations of total dissolved solids that can exceed 300g/l. The computational sequence involves the calculation of steady-state density independent flow that is used as the initial condition for the determination of pseudo-equilibrium for a density dependent flow system that has an initial TDS distribution developed from observed data. Long-term simulations that consider future glaciation scenarios include the impact of ice thickness and permafrost. The selection of the performance measure used to evaluate a groundwater system is important. The traditional metric of average water particle travel time is inappropriate for geologic units such as the Ordovician where solute transport is diffusion dominant. The use of life expectancy and groundwater age is a more appropriate metric for such a system. The mean life expectancy for the DGR and base case parameters has been estimated to be in excess of 8 million years.

Abstract:
Ontario Power Generation (OPG) has developed and implemented a systematic managed process for steam generators at all of its facilities. One of the key requirements of this managed process is to have in place long range Steam Generator Life Cycle Management (SG LCM) plans for each of its reactor units. The primary goal of these plans is to maximize the value of the nuclear facility through safe and reliable steam generator operation over the expected life of the units. These SG LCM plans integrate and schedule all steam generator actions such as inspection, operation, maintenance, repairs, modifications, assessments, performance monitoring, research and development, and feedback. This paper provides an overview of how structural and leak-rate testing, being conducted by OPG, is being used to support fitness-for-service assessments for fretting degradation in the U-bend region of the recirculating steam generators at the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station.

Abstract:
The Devonian successions in northeastern Manitoba and northern Ontario are integrated in a single stratigraphic framework. To the north, in the offshore Hudson Bay Basin, stratigraphic nomenclaturesare unified and correlated with the successions to the south. The carbon stable-isotope (d13CVPDB) trends for Devonian carbonate rocks are used for regional correlations and are compared with global Devonian isotope trends. Local and global d13CVPDB trends are used to evaluate the position of the Silurian-Devonian boundary in the Hudson Bay Platform. The Devonian succession of the Hudson Bay Platform belongs to the Kaskaskia Sequence and compares with similar carbonate-evaporite successions of the adjacent Williston and Michigan basins. In these basins, two episodes of roughly coeval reef development are present (Emsian-Eifelian and Givetian), with corals and stromatoporoids as main framework constituents. The Hudson Bay Platform reefs and dolomitized facies exhibit significant porosity and have the potential to form hydrocarbon reservoirs, with intervals bearing direct and petrophysical evidence of hydrocarbon charge.

Abstract:
This is the first regional porosity/permeability study to incorporate petroleum industry laboratory core analyses submitted to the Ontario government and managed by Ontario's Oil Gas and Salt Resources Library. This study comprises 11,759 analyses for the Early Silurian Lockport Group of southwestern Ontario from 150 drill cores. The Lockport Group consists of a cyclic succession of dolostones and minor limestones comprising, in ascending order: Gasport, Goat Island, Eramosa, and Guelph formations. This stacked carbonate succession was deposited on an eastward-deepening carbonate ramp, extending from Michigan, through southwestern Ontario, to Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. It is overlain disconformably by restricted marine carbonates, evaporites and mixed shales of the Salina Group, whereas unconformably underlain by one of four formations that include, the Lions Head (a stratigraphic equivalent of part of the Rochester), DeCew, Rochester and Irondequoit. To ensure appropriate stratigraphic assignment of the laboratory test intervals, a quality assurance/quality control review on formational tops was carried out on the 150 cores that were tested. This regional subsurface work resulted in the reassignment of 846 formation tops that were verified by examination of drill core, drill cuttings, and geophysical well data including gamma-ray, neutron and density logs. Core analysis datasets have been validated by summarizing laboratory protocols and standards and reconciling data fields in the core analysis database with auxiliary data, including geophysical logs, thin sections, and core examinaion. This auxiliary data was then used to identify data outliers to update the core analysis database. The measurements of porosity and permeability were then assigned a formation rank plotted on a subregional scale. Average porosity and permeability values have been divided into statistical populations for each formation assigned by three depositional realms. The southwestern Ontario study area has been divided into three paleogeographic settings, based on distinctive lithofacies that correspond to different carbonate depositional regimes and regions of paleokarstification. From northwest to southeast, the lithofacies reflect an inner to outer carbonate ramp setting designated as area 1-3 from northwest to southeast. Area 1 is the inter-pinnacle karst region and includes some of thepinnacle structures within the Lockport Group. This region has the most significant paleokarstification of the upper Lockport Group (Guelph and Goat Island formations) and overlying Salina Group A-unit. Area 2 has rare pinnacle structures, where no porosity/permeability core analyses data are available. Area 3 is the middle to outer portion of the Lockport carbonate ramp, with local development of reef mound phases in the lower Goat Island and Gasport formations. The porosity and permeability variability corresponds with areal distribution of paleokarstification and resulting diagenetic phases in Area 1, and lithofacies variations and temporal/spatial history of karstification in Area 3. Higher porosity and permeability generally coincide with greater thicknesses of the oil and gas reservoir within pinnacles in Area 1 and reef mound phases of Lockport Group and lower Salina Group A-1 Carbonate in Area 3. Within inter-pinnacle karst regions in Area 1, average porosity for each formation is consistently high with little variations. In Area 3, a general increase of porosity and permeability towards the southeast corresponds with lithofacies ranging from restricted lagoonal/platform interior deposits to carbonate bank deposits with local development of reef mound phases in the Gasport and Goat Island formations. There has been significant erosion and karstification within and at the tops of these pinnacles, resulting in higher porosity and permeability of the Guelph and upper Goat Island formations, and the overlying Salina Group A-1 unit. Paleokarstic events have enhanced various porosity types, including intercrystalline, moldic, irregular and fenestral vugs, and cavities.

Abstract:
Long-term trends in Nordic societies (such as ageing populations), along with rapid social transformations (like those brought about by automation and digitalisation), have resulted in increased attention being paid to skills and skills enhancement – not least from policymakers looking to cope with those challenges. However, skills are complex and many actors are involved in their promotion and provision. In this study, we focus on the regional level, which is the point of scale at which the demand for, and supply of, various skills is often articulated. In order to respond to the research question concerning How regions work with skills, six case studies were conducted in 2019 and 2020. That meant one case study in each of the Nordic countries. Those selected were Pohjois-Karjala (North Karelia, Finland), Värmland (Sweden), Hovedstaden (Denmark), Hedmark and Oppland (Norway), Norðurland eystra (Northeastern Region, Iceland), and one in Greenland. This report on skills for resilient and innovative regions is part of a series of reports conducted on behalf of the Nordic Thematic Group for Innovative and Resilient Regions 2017–2020, within the Nordics Cooperation Program for Regional Development and Planning, and under the aegis of the Nordics Council of Ministers.

Full text
Abstract:
The availability and quality of pedestrian infrastructure play key roles in enabling access to transit. Many transit operators face challenges in facilitating this access, however, because they lack land use authority and encounter other institutional and programmatic impediments to effecting changes in the pedestrian environment. This report identifies the barriers to pedestrian access to transit in suburban communities located in the Pace Suburban Bus service area in northeastern Illinois and suggests potential solutions to overcome these barriers. The research team led several activities to collect data, including: conducting an academic literature review; reviewing pedestrian plans, policies, and programs in the region; surveying and interviewing key stakeholders; reviewing pedestrian funding sources; surveying and conducting case studies of peer transit agencies; conducting physical audits of pedestrian infrastructure; and interviewing residents of six municipalities about their transit access experiences. Lack of adequate funding, difficulties planning across jurisdictional boundaries, and conflicts in transportation priorities are major impediments to building pedestrian infrastructure. While planners and decision-makers tend to value pedestrian planning, challenges such as funding constraints and the need to retrofit suburban infrastructure are key barriers to implementation. Peer transit agencies face similar barriers to Pace and use strategies such as plan and policy development, diverse funding opportunities, and collaborative partnerships with stakeholder agencies and advocacy groups to overcome these barriers. Transit riders generally reported positive experiences with pedestrian access to transit in their communities. Many locations had robust infrastructure, but common deficiencies included poor sidewalk connectivity, incomplete crossings, lack of lighting and transit shelters, and deficiencies in Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) infrastructure. A suite of policy recommendations for Pace and other partners that focus on planning, policy, funding, interagency coordination, education and training, infrastructure prioritization, and transit amenities address the full range of physical and institutional barriers identified in the research.

Full text
Abstract:
Aeromagnetic and ground gravity data for the Canadian Superior Province, filtered to extract long wavelength components and converted to pseudo-gravity, highlight deep, N-S trending regional-scale, rectilinear faults and margins to discrete, competent mafic or felsic granulite blocks (i.e. at high angles to most regional mapped structures and sub-province boundaries) with little to no surface expression that are spatially associated with lode ('orogenic') Au and Ni-Cu-PGE-Cr occurrences. Statistical and machine learning analysis of the Red Lake-Stormy Lake region in the W Superior Province confirms visual inspection for a greater correlation between Au deposits and these deep N-S structures than with mapped surface to upper crustal, generally E-W trending, faults and shear zones. Porphyry Au, Ni, Mo and U-Th showings are also located above these deep transverse faults. Several well defined concentric circular to elliptical structures identified in the Oxford Stull and Island Lake domains along the S boundary of the N Superior proto-craton, intersected by N- to NNW striking extensional fractures and/or faults that transect the W Superior Province, again with little to no direct surface or upper crustal expression, are spatially associated with magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE-Cr and related mineralization and Au occurrences. The McFaulds Lake greenstone belt, aka. 'Ring of Fire', constitutes only a small, crescent-shaped belt within one of these concentric features above which 2736-2733 Ma mafic-ultramafic intrusions bodies were intruded. The Big Trout Lake igneous complex that hosts Cr-Pt-Pd-Rh mineralization west of the Ring of Fire lies within a smaller concentrically ringed feature at depth and, near the Ontario-Manitoba border, the Lingman Lake Au deposit, numerous Au occurrences and minor Ni showings, are similarly located on concentric structures. Preliminary magnetotelluric (MT) interpretations suggest that these concentric structures appear to also have an expression in the subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) and that lithospheric mantle resistivity features trend N-S as well as E-W. With diameters between ca. 90 km to 185 km, elliptical structures are similar in size and internal geometry to coronae on Venus which geomorphological, radar, and gravity interpretations suggest formed above mantle upwellings. Emplacement of mafic-ultramafic bodies hosting Ni-Cr-PGE mineralization along these ringlike structures at their intersection with coeval deep transverse, ca. N-S faults (viz. phi structures), along with their location along the margin to the N Superior proto-craton, are consistent with secondary mantle upwellings portrayed in numerical models of a mantle plume beneath a craton with a deep lithospheric keel within a regional N-S compressional regime. Early, regional ca. N-S faults in the W Superior were reactivated as dilatational antithetic (secondary Riedel/R') sinistral shears during dextral transpression and as extensional fractures and/or normal faults during N-S shortening. The Kapuskasing structural zone or uplift likely represents Proterozoic reactivation of a similar deep transverse structure. Preservation of discrete faults in the deep crust beneath zones of distributed Neoarchean dextral transcurrent to transpressional shear zones in the present-day upper crust suggests a 'millefeuille' lithospheric strength profile, with competent SCLM, mid- to deep, and upper crustal layers. Mechanically strong deep crustal felsic and mafic granulite layers are attributed to dehydration and melt extraction. Intra-crustal decoupling along a ductile décollement in the W Superior led to the preservation of early-formed deep structures that acted as conduits for magma transport into the overlying crust and focussed hydrothermal fluid flow during regional deformation. Increase in the thickness of semi-brittle layers in the lower crust during regional metamorphism would result in an increase in fracturing and faulting in the lower crust, facilitating hydrothermal and carbonic fluid flow in pathways linking SCLM to the upper crust, a factor explaining the late timing for most orogenic Au. Results provide an important new dataset for regional prospectively mapping, especially with machine learning, and exploration targeting for Au and Ni-Cr-Cu-PGE mineralization. Results also furnish evidence for parautochthonous development of the S Superior Province during plume-related rifting and cannot be explained by conventional subduction and arc-accretion models.
