Fall 2013
Monocrystalline gem-quality diamonds from Akwatia, Ghana and De Beers Pool, South Africa have trace-element concentrations ranging from ppt to ppm levels, but mostly are below the limit of quantification. CeN/EuN (1–6; N = chondrite normalized) and CeN/TiN (0.6 to 12) indicate mildly elevated...

Expression of Major and Trace Element Signatures of the Frasnian Duvernay Formation within a Sea Level Context: insights into the processes that control mudstone composition, paleoredox conditions and organic matter enrichment
DownloadSpring 2016
This study evaluates the effects of sea level on redox conditions, shale composition and sediment provenance in the Late Devonian (Frasnian) Duvernay Formation of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) of Alberta, Canada, an organic-rich ‘black’ shale localized between the reefs and...

Trace Element Variability in Clay Sediments as a Function of Environmental Conditions within the Fluvial to Marine Water Transition Zone
DownloadFall 2019
Estuaries are marginal marine environments of considerable complexity, due to their spatial and temporal variations in hydrodynamic energy, water chemistry, and sediment source and composition. This complexity hinders geologists’ ability to accurately reconstruct paleoenvironments and...
