Geochronology and Trace Element Characteristics of Pyrite from Selected Carbonate Hosted Pb-Zn Ore Deposits
DownloadFall 2012
Carbonate-hosted ore deposits, such as Mississippi Valley-type (MVT), and Irish-type deposits, are a major class of Pb-Zn ores. Due to the mineralogy of these deposits, numerical constraints on the timing of mineralization are few. This thesis investigates pyrite Re-Os geochronology for dating...

Geology, geochronology, thermobarometry, and tectonic evolution of the Queen Maud block, Churchill craton, Nunavut, Canada
DownloadSpring 2012
The Queen Maud block is divided into two crustal belts. The western Perry River belt is dominated by Mesoarchean to Neoarchean granitic gneisses and supracrustal rocks; it was incorporated into the Rae domain by at least 2.46 Ga. The eastern Paalliq belt is dominated by the 2.52-2.45 Ga Queen...

Implications of in situ zircon U-Pb, Lu-Hf, oxygen-isotope, and trace element geochemistry on the petrogenetic history of the northern Hogem batholith in the Quesnel terrane, north-central British Columbia, Canadian Cordillera
DownloadSpring 2022
The Cordilleran orogen of western Canada is a type example of accretionary tectonism and thus an ideal location to study continental growth by oceanic and continental arc magmatism and terrane accretion. Cordilleran Intermontane terranes are interpreted as accreted oceanic arcs that contributed...

Petrogenesis of the Moose Lake Area of the Acasta Gneiss Complex, Slave Craton, Northwest Territories, Canada
DownloadSpring 2021
The Acasta Gneiss Complex (AGC) is a late Hadean to early Archean terrane in northwestern Canada known to contain the oldest evolved rocks on Earth. However, only a small portion of the AGC has been studied in detail. This study aims to explore one of the poorly explored portions of the AGC, the...

Graphite-forming events occurred throughout Earth history and extend up to solar and pre-solar contexts. However, a comprehensive understanding of the timeline of these events has been hindered by a lack of chronological information for graphite. Here we explore the geochronological potential of...

187Re-187Os analysis of magnetite and other oxide minerals from various well dated geological settings (kimberlites, lamprophyres, Manicouagan impact melt rock, Great Bear magmatic zone iron ore deposits and Laramie Anorthosite complex) worldwide have been used to investigate the potential for...

Stratigraphy, paleogeography and tectonic evolution of early Paleozoic to Triassic pericratonic strata in the northern Kootenay Arc, southeastern Canadian Cordillera, British Columbia
DownloadSpring 2013
The northern Kootenay Arc in southeastern British Columbia hosts a near-continuous succession of Cambrian to Permian strata that were deposited in overlapping marginal basins outboard of the Canadian Cordilleran miogeocline. The basinal strata of the Late Cambrian and younger Lardeau Group are...

The application of detrital zircon grains from Pleistocene eskers for reconnaissance bedrock mapping in the Acasta Gneiss Complex
DownloadFall 2019
The Acasta Gneiss Complex (AGC) is a ~2400 km2 Hadean-Mesoarchean terrane that contains the oldest known zircon-bearing rocks on Earth. Despite its importance for early Earth geology, only a small fraction (~50 km2) has been mapped in detail. To determine the lateral extent of ancient rocks and...

Spring 2018
This thesis contributes to the development of a cryptotephra framework in northwestern North America, providing the initial data for the construction of a regional cryptotephra framework where key cryptotephra layers (those which are widely distributed, easily correlated, and have well...

Recent discoveries of kimberlites in North America have revealed that different processes are involved in the generation of kimberlite magma. A multi-disciplinary approach combining mineralogical, petrological, geochemical, and geochronological methods is used to classify the kimberlites,...
