Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life subcommittee Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking Project (POST). The Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking project provided the first continent-wide research to acoustically track the migratory patterns of 18 species of marine life familiar to the Pacific coast. The project, led by American-Canadian scientist James Bolger, examined the migratory patterns of salmon, jumbo squid, sturgeon, and other coastal marine life, gathering data on roughly 16,000 individuals. The project served as a smaller-scale precursor of the Ocean Tracking Network.
File contains documents relating to Hall's lectures on plant development. Materials include typed and handwritten notes, as well as hand-drawn figures.
File is a textbook by Gary Hicks entitled “Plant development”, which was published in 1996 by Dalhousie University. Text and illustrations were by Gary Hicks, graphic design was by Rick Janson, and the cover design was by Ingrid Walker. Textbook contains an introduction, a sequence of class presentations, eleven chapters, and four appendices. Chapters include topics such as plant development, zygotic embryos, seed germination, leaf development, and cell differentiation.
