Item consists of two copies of a pamphlet about the new Life Sciences Centre at Dalhousie Univeristy. The pamphlet outlines the departments and facilities in the building.
Series consists of correspondence, grant applications, newspaper clippings and reports related to the Arctic Shelf Tracking and Physics Array Project, a proposal by Ron O'Dor and his colleagues to commemorate the International Polar Year (IPY).
File consists of a draft of Howard Wilcox's paper "The Ocean Food and Energy Farm Project", prepared for the 141st Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. New York: American Association for the Advancement of Science, 29 Jan. 1975, and collected by Elisabeth Mann Borgese.
Fonds consists of records pertaining primarily to the professional activities of Elisabeth Mann Borgese, focusing on major organizations and projects with which she was affiliated from the beginning of her North American career in the 1940s. The collection includes correspondence, publications and drafts, administrative records, conference materials, sound and video recordings, research materials, photographs, and other materials.
Fonds contains records created and collected by Ronald O'Dor in the course of his work as a marine biologist based at Dalhousie University, predominantly materials generated by the two major research projects: Census of Marine Life (CoML) and Ocean Tracking Network (OTN). Record types include research data, teaching materials, publications, manuscripts, correspondence, and committee and meeting minutes.
Series comprises Ron O'Dor's teaching materials, including course syllabi, exams and reading lists, as well as assignments and student evaluations for courses he developed and taught in the areas of biology and marine biology.
Subseries contains correspondence, conference notes, and research articles related to regional subcommittees operating under the Census of Marine Life umbrella.
Series comprises records related to Ron O'Dor's published articles, papers and conference presentations, including manuscripts, correspondence, publishing agreements and conference materials. Other manuscripts and related correspondence and papers are found within the general and named research series.
Series contains correspondence, field notes, meeting minutes, presentation slides, and photographs related to Ron O'Dor's early-career research into cephalopoda behaviour, feeding practices of bivalve larvae in zero gravity environments, and other mollusca and marine biology projects.
Series contains research files, correspondence, conference meeting minutes and notes compiled by Ron O'Dor and other members of the Census of Marine Life steering committee and subcommittees.
Subseries contains correspondence, research data, and conference minutes and notes related to the Census of Marine Life affiliate program, the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS). The Ocean Biogeographic Information System project, compiled alongside the Census of Marine Life, serves as the world's largest online repository of spatially referenced marine life data, containing millions of records created from hundreds of CoML datasets. The project, led by American scientists Edward Vanden Berghe and J. Frederick Grassle (previously by New Zealander Mark J. Costello), locates all oceanic species in a permanent, evolving repository, identifying oceanic points of high diversity, tracking species dispersion, and integrating species locales with variables such as temperature, salinity, and depth.
Series comprises Ron O'Dor's administrative correspondence, reports and other records related to his teaching, committee work and research roles within and external to Dalhousie University, and to his roles as head of the Department of Biology and director of the Aquatron facility. Records related directly to his teaching are largely found in the teaching records series, while most correspondence related to named research projects is found within the related series or subseries.
File contains material regarding the joint meeting of the following societies: Society for Experimental Biology (SEB); American Physical Society (APS); American Microscopical Society and the Division of Invertebrate Zoology (ASZ); and Canadian Society of Zoologists (CSZ).
File contains correspondence between Ron O'Dor and editors, John M. Arnold; Fred Aldrich and Lillian Sullivan concerning Ron O'Dor becoming a subject editor.
