A Model for the Solubility of Anhydrite in H2O-NaCl fluids from 25 to 800 °C, 0.1 to 1400 MPa, and 0 to 60 wt% NaCl: Applications to Hydrothermal Ore-forming Systems
DownloadFall 2021
Anhydrite (CaSO4) is a common gangue mineral in hydrothermal ore-forming systems, though currently there is no robust numerical model for the solubility of anhydrite in H2O-NaCl hydrothermal fluids. Here, we present a thermodynamic model for the solubility of anhydrite in saline aqueous fluids...

Groundwater movement in heterogeneous, water-limited, low-relief landscapes: understanding interactions of geology, topography, and climate at multiple spatiotemporal scales
DownloadFall 2021
The low-relief, sub-humid Boreal Plains (BP) region of Canada, is characterized by pond-peatland-forestland complexes underlain by thick glacial deposits, which result in inter-dependent surface water processes and groundwater flow systems with varying spatiotemporal controls. A fundamental...

The petrography and mineral chemistry of melt-intruded mantle xenoliths from the Chidliak kimberlite field, Baffin Island, Canada
DownloadFall 2021
The nature of kimberlitic melts at mantle depths and their interaction with mantle wall-rocks is poorly constrained. This is due to the scarcity of mantle xenoliths and xenocrysts that have preserved this interaction without disaggregating during their transport to Earth’s surface. This thesis...

Fall 2021
Reconnaissance regional mapping as part of the Geological Survey of Canada’s Geomapping for Energy and Minerals (GEM-2) project documented three voluminous, massive to weakly foliated felsic plutons in Boothia Peninsula, Nunavut. Uranium-lead zircon and monazite geochronology reveals this...

Fall 2021
The Labrador Sea experiences deep convection, a process where the oceans’ surface cools to the point where it may become more dense than the water at depth, promoting sinking and vertical mixing. This mixing can exceed 2000m in depth, producing a large volume of deep water, a crucial component in...

Fall 2021
The lower Athabasca River valley in northeastern Alberta, famous for oil sands mining, was also the site of one of North America largest Ice Age floods. During deglaciation, a large proglacial lake, Lake Agassiz, drained catastrophically through the Athabasca River valley. This catastrophic flood...

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...

Tungsten skarn deposits from the Canadian Cordillera: paleogeographic and geochemical controls on ore distribution
DownloadSpring 2022
Tungsten is a critical metal. Critical metals are strategic metals with associated economic, social, energy, geostrategic and environmental issues. As a result, the need to monitor and to secure local supplies of critical elements, including tungsten, has become a strategic priority for many...

Lithofacies Characteristics, Reservoir Properties, and Ichnology of the Upper Montney Member (Spathian)
DownloadSpring 2022
The Lower Triassic Montney Formation in west-central Alberta and northeastern British Columbia has become one of the most productive reservoirs in Western Canada over the past 15 years. It is projected that it will play a leading role in satisfying Canada’s energy requirements over the next 20...

Spring 2022
The Edmonton-area landscape has been shaped by multiple geomorphic events throughout the Quaternary period. These events account for the distribution of resources and landforms across Central Alberta, making their reconstruction essential to understanding the geomorphic history of the Canadian...
