Spring 2023
This dissertation seeks to examine the evolving politics of planning and governance of climate risks in Bhubaneswar city in India, by analyzing how climate risk governance has evolved and its implications on future adaptation possibilities. Southern cities such as Bhubaneswar have been at the...

Fall 2023
As internal tides propagate in the ocean, they carry and dissipate energy over hundreds and even thousands of kilometers. We perform fully nonlinear simulations to examine the evolution of horizontally propagating, vertical mode-1 internal tides in non-uniformly stratified fluids, as it depends...

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...

Assessment of empirically-derived parameters and their transferability in mountain glacier modeling and application for regional melt projections under climate change scenarios
DownloadSpring 2023
Mountain glaciers, key sources of freshwater to downstream ecosystems and users, are responsive and vulnerable to changes in climate. Understanding their current influence, their potential future changes, and consequences of those changes are all important research goals, so many modeling...

Spring 2024
Lithium is crucial for battery production and is utilized in electric vehicles and portable electronics. Among alternative sources of lithium is flowback and produced water (FPW) brines, which can be recovered utilizing ion-exchange with sorbents such as lithium manganese oxide spinels. Among...

The Use of Terrestrial Laser Scanners for 3-Dimensional Modelling and Quantification of the effects of Competition and Phenology on Plant Structure with Fractal Analysis and Quantitative Structural Modelling Tools
DownloadSpring 2024
Terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) are active remote sensing sensors that use light to measure distances between the sensor and objects generating a three-dimensional dataset. This technology has been used in a diverse range of ecological studies measuring plant and vegetation properties. In the...

Spring 2024
The escalating global climate change poses a more severe challenge, and Canada, as a high-latitude country, is experiencing heightened Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects. Given the substantial influence of UHIs on urban, regional, and national climates, ecosystems, and human life, researching this...

Investigations into the Occurrence and Distribution of Bioturbation in Tidally-Influenced Sedimentary Environments
DownloadSpring 2024
Tidally-influenced sedimentary environments are regions where sediment deposition is strongly influenced by the regular ebb and flow of tides. These natural processes result in distinctive and often heterogeneous patterns of sediment distribution and sedimentary structures, both physical and...

Magnesium Doping for the Stabilization of a Spinel lithium Manganese Oxide for Lithium Recovery from Flowback and Produced Water
DownloadSpring 2024
Flowback and produced water (FPW), a potentially hazardous byproduct of oil and gas production, is a complex mixture of dissolved salts and organic compounds. FPW often contains modest concentrations of lithium, from tens to hundreds of parts-per-million. For this reason, and in response to the...

Sedimentary Facies, Lithostratigraphy, and Sequence Stratigraphy of the Lower Cretaceous Dina and Cummings, Alberta, Canada
DownloadSpring 2024
The Lower Cretaceous Aptian to Albian Dina and Cummings lithostratigraphic units comprise a complex assemblage of siliciclastic strata deposited in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) during transgression of the Lower Cretaceous Boreal Sea. The internal stratigraphic complexity of this...
