Polo Camacho, Camilo A.

The Late Carboniferous–Middle Permian Unayzah Group is a widespread sand-rich stratigraphic unit with equivalent deposits across the subsurface of the Arabian Peninsula. Historically, sediment deposition for this interval in the subsurface of Saudi Arabia has been ascribed to continental settings...

The Nova Scotia passive continental margin is characterized by longitudinal variation in crustal structure from the volcanic U.S. Atlantic Margin in the southwest to a non-volcanic Newfoundland Margin in the northeast. The objectives of this study include characterizing the tectonic structure of...

The covariance of increasing spinel Cr# and olivine Mg# (“the olivine-spinel mantle array” or “OSMA”) has been used as a sensitive indicator for the melting history of mantle peridotites. The basis for this model has been largely empirical thus far. In this study, the most recent THERMOCALC-based...

Graphite-forming events occurred throughout Earth history and extend up to solar and pre-solar contexts. However, a comprehensive understanding of the timeline of these events has been hindered by a lack of chronological information for graphite. Here we explore the geochronological potential of...

The ichnogenus Brasilichnium is widely distributed locally and is found stratigraphically on eolian sediments of the same western erg system of the Early Jurassic period. Exceptionally wellpreserved synapsid trackways of Brasilichnium were discovered by researchers from the National Park Service...

The Hudson Bay Complex (HBC), encompassing Foxe Basin (FB), Hudson Strait (HS), Ungava Bay (UB), Hudson Bay (HB), and James Bay (JB), experiences notable shifts in freshwater sources. Despite being smaller than the Arctic Ocean, the HBC annually receives around 900 km3 of river discharge,...

Housing affordability is an issue of increasing social, economic, and political importance in Canada. Concurrent with the broader cost of living crisis, Canadians are forced to spend growing proportions of their income on housing, with homeownership increasingly out of reach for many. However,...

Forests account for one third of land area, and two third of global photosynthesis. The better we know about forests, the better decisions we can make on forest management and carbon cycle modeling. During the last decades, we see the development in remote sensing techniques for forest...

Climate change is causing mountain glacial systems to warm rapidly, leading to increased water fluxes from these catchments and concomitant export of glacially-derived sediment and organic matter (OM). Glacial OM represents an aged, but potentially bioavailable carbon pool that is compositionally...

Immigration is a life-changing decision accompanied by new experiences for individuals. Depending on background, this experience can be varied from one to another and can influence the experience of sense of place in the new environment. This thesis contributes to this area of inquiry by applying...
