Geothermal Reservoir Characterization of the South Swan Hills Oil Pool, Swan Hills, Alberta
DownloadSpring 2022
Research in the South Swan Hills oil pool was performed to accurately delineate the geometry of the subsurface reservoir and subsequently quantify the amount of thermal energy that can be extracted for geothermal use from the reservoir water volume. South Swan Hills is an active oilfield...

Contribution of Montney Sourced Hydrocarbons to the Doig and Montney Petroleum System in Western Canada Sedimentary Basin
DownloadSpring 2022
Previously acquired biomarker analyses of oil samples and Rock-Eval analyses of cores and cutting samples have been integrated with new Rock-Eval analyses to determine the source rock potential of Montney Formation. Furthermore, the geochemical signature of Montney organic matter is used to...

Stable isotope development in ground ice along an alpine tundra slope in the Ogilvie Mountains, Yukon Territory
DownloadSpring 2022
Stable isotopic ratios of oxygen and hydrogen (δ18O and δD) from ground ice have been used to reconstruct paleoclimate temperatures spanning the Late Pleistocene and Holocene in subarctic and arctic regions. This is possible due to the strong relations between the isotopic composition of...

“Moving in Data”: The Open Data Gaze as a form of Municipal Statecraft in the Entrepreneurial City
DownloadFall 2022
Globally speaking, data-driven urbanism is on the rise. As data becomes more readily available and important in contemporary economies, municipal governments are adopting new ways of managing and planning cities. By transforming themselves via urban data, cities can position themselves to be...

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...

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...

Dating Magmatism on Mars: Application of In-Situ and Microsampling Techniques for Shergottite Geochronology
DownloadFall 2022
Establishing an absolute time scale of Mars is critical to understanding the planet’s geological evolution. Currently, martian meteorites are the only samples of the planet available for radiometric geochronology analysis in terrestrial laboratory settings. The record of known martian absolute...

The depositional framework and stratigraphic architecture of the Lower Triassic Montney Formation, northeastern British Columbia
DownloadFall 2022
The Lower Triassic Montney Formation contains some of the largest unconventional hydrocarbon plays in the world, and over the last decades has become critical to Canada’s main energy resources. These unconventional plays consist mainly of fine- to coarse-grained siltstone beds which are difficult...

Sedimentological, Ichnological, and Architectural Characteristics of Geobodies in a Fluvial to Estuary Setting: the McMurray Formation in the Christina River area, NE Alberta, Canada
DownloadSpring 2023
The Lower Cretaceous McMurray Formation is the primary host of the crude bitumen reserves in the Athabasca Oils Sand Region. The regionally extensive meander belts associated with estuary point bars have been recognized as the primary reservoir facies in the McMurray Formation. It is widely...
