The seismic reflection and magnetotelluric conductivity sections published in these folios were generated from geophysical data archived by the Metal Earth project, a CAD$104 million applied R&D program that commenced in March 2017. The project comprised a consortium of Canadian and international researchers from academia, government and industry, and was led by the Mineral Exploration Research Centre (MERC) at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Funding consisted of CAD$49.2 million from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF), CAD$5 million in funding from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC), a CAD$1 million donation from the Harquail family’s Midas Touch Foundation, and cash and in-kind contributions from private sector and government survey partners. Metal Earth used state-of-the-art equipment to transform our understanding of the processes responsible for metal endowment and ore localisation during Earth’s early evolution, particularly within the Superior Province (or Superior Craton) of Canada. This included the collection of new seismic reflection and magnetotelluric data along 18 transects across the Superior Province, each with differential metal endowment and styles of mineralisation. The processed geophysical data from each transect have been standardised and are published here to facilitate assessments between regions with differential metal endowment.

Nearshore hardbottom reefs of Florida’s east coast are used by over 1100 species of fishes, invertebrates, algae, and sea turtles. These rocky reefs support reproduction, settlement, and habitat use, and are energy sources and sinks. They are also buried by beach renourishment projects in which artificial reefs are used for mitigation. This comprehensive book is for research scientists and agency personnel, yet accessible to interested laypersons including beachfront residents and water-users. An unprecedented collection of research information and often stunning color photographs are assembled including over 1250 technical citations and 127 figures. These shallow reefs are part of a mosaic of coastal shelf habitats including estuarine seagrasses and mangroves, and offshore coral reefs. These hardbottom habitats are federally designated as Essential Fish Habitats - Habitats of Particular Concern and are important feeding areas for federally-protected sea turtles. Organismal and assemblage responses to natural and man-made disturbances, including climate change, are examined in the context of new research and management opportunities for east Florida’s islands in the sand.
