Fall 2022
The thermohaline intrusion of the warm and saline Atlantic Water (AW) into the Arctic Ocean, referred to as “Arctic Atlantification”, has significant implications and feedback on the {thermo}dynamics of the Arctic Ocean. The AW enters the Arctic Ocean through two gateways: Fram Strait and the...

Spring 2022
Glacial systems are reservoirs of nutrients, labile organic matter, and microbes. Glaciers contain diverse environments (supraglacial (surface), subglacial (base), and ice-marginal) with variable organic matter pools shaped by different physical processes and site-specific microbial communities...

Protecting Agricultural Land: How Informal Institutions and Historical Perspectives Affect Land-Use Policy
DownloadFall 2022
Land-use pressures in Alberta's agricultural landscapes have intensified in recent years. With the province's broad historical agricultural base and ongoing urban expansion, there have been growing concerns about the loss of prime agricultural land. These concerns and conflicts have been...

A Geometallurgical Approach to Assessing Critical Metal Mobility and Recoverability from Ultramafic Mine Tailings
DownloadFall 2022
Critical metals (e.g., nickel and cobalt) are increasingly in demand for the production and storage of cleaner energy but their supplies are finite. Ultramafic mine tailings could be reprocessed as a source of critical metals. These waste materials host an array of critical transition metals and...

Geochemistry and Mineralogy of the Silver Pond Prospect in the Toodoggone District: Implications for Regional Exploration
DownloadFall 2022
The Lawyers Property located in the Toodoggone district hosts a well-known extensively explored low sulfidation style epithermal deposit as well as an adjacent less understood target area known as Silver Pond that shares characteristics of a high sulfidation style system. The Silver Pond prospect...

Precious metal, Lu-Hf, and Re-Os geochemistry of the metasomatized lithospheric mantle: implications for subcrustal precious metal mobilization and MARID petrogenesis
DownloadFall 2022
The connection between metasomatism - the change in chemical composition of a rock via interaction with a fluid or melt - and the formation of metalliferous ore deposits in the Earth’s crust is well established. Similarly, it is now accepted that the Earth’s lithospheric mantle has experienced...

Fall 2022
Resolving important fundamental questions about the petrogenesis of cratonic lithosphere is difficult in ancient cratons that have long and complex histories. Several properties of cratons are poorly constrained and our understanding of their petrogenesis largely remains ambiguous. In the Archean...

Boxed-in: Comparing Algorithms for Box-flight Mass-Balance Greenhouse Gas Flux Measurements from Mineable and In Situ Oil Sands Developments
DownloadSpring 2022
To combat global warming, Canada has committed to reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) 40-45% below 2005 emission levels by 2025. Monitoring emissions and deriving accurate inventories are essential to reaching these goals. GHGs can be measured at a small scale, often using ground measurements which...

THREE-DIMENSIONAL OUTCROP MODELLING, SEDIMENTOLOGY, AND ICHNOLOGY OF THE FALHER D MEMBER, NORTHEAST BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA
DownloadFall 2022
The Lower Cretaceous Falher Member is an important hydrocarbon reservoir in the Deep Basin of Alberta and British Columbia. Owing to its economic importance, it has been the subject of many studies. However, there remains contention on the depositional interpretation of individual Falher Member...

Observations of Sun-Induced Chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF), Photochemical Reflectance Index (PRI) and Chlorophyll:Carotenoid Index (CCI) during spring recovery in two evergreen conifers from the Boreal Forest.
DownloadFall 2022
Northern hemisphere evergreen forests assimilate a significant fraction of global atmospheric CO2. Conifers undergo winter-downregulated photosynthetic activity and spring-onset photosynthetic activation. Currently, increased temperatures are leading to shifts in photosynthetic phenology (early...
