Evidence of euxinia in the Norian of western Canada: Implications to halobiid and monotid paleoecology and the sedimentology of the Pardonet formation
DownloadSpring 2024
The Norian Pardonet formation tops a well-studied Triassic stratigraphy in Western Canada which can be viewed in outcrop along the shores of Williston Lake, B. C. The Pardonet itself, however, has remained rather enigmatic. The formation is composed of dominantly finegrained, organic-rich...

Assessing uncertainties related to the use of satellite remote sensing indices to estimate Gross Primary Production
DownloadSpring 2024
Methods to quantify Gross Primary Production (GPP) are classified into two categories: Eddy Covariance techniques (EC) and satellite data-driven. EC techniques can measure carbon fluxes directly, albeit with spatial constraints. Satellite data-driven methods are promising because they overcome...

Integrated Ichnologic-Sedimentologic approach to reconstruct marginal to shallow marine paleoenvironments: The Lower Cretaceous Wabiskaw Member, Clearwater Formation, Alberta-Canada, Lower Permian Dandot Formation, and the Early Cambrian Khussak Formation, east-central Salt Range, Pakistan
DownloadSpring 2024
The interplay of independent variables (wave, river, and tidal input) in marginal and shallow-marine environments complicates identifying facies and interpreting paleoenvironments in the rock record. Therefore, predicting, correlating facies, determining facies thickness and distribution, and...

Spring 2024
The climate crisis has become one of the most critical and highly discussed issues that humanity is currently facing. As the impacts of climate change are becoming more severe, it is anticipated that internal and external migration will continue to increase drastically (IDMC, 2023. IPCC, 2023,...

Ichnology and geochemistry: an integrated approach to early marine diagenesis in the Arabian Gulf
DownloadSpring 2024
Neoichnological studies in carbonate-dominated tropical latitudes are sparse. Moreso, the coupling of diagenetic research utilizing ichnology has been largely limited to ancient successions. This thesis combines geochemical analyses with modern ichnological observations to better understand the...

Fluid Evolution and Mineralization of Two Distinct High-Sulfidation Epithermal Occurrences in the Toodoggone District, British Columbia, Canada
DownloadSpring 2024
At the Toodoggone District of northern British Columbia, the Ranch area and the Silver Pond zone within the Lawyers area represent two distinct high-sulfidation epithermal occurrences that show some broad similarities but many significant differences. Similarities include some overlaps in terms...

Characterization of natural fractures of the Upper Devonian Duvernay Formation in the Kaybob Area, Alberta
DownloadSpring 2024
The organic-rich mudstones of the Upper Devonian Duvernay Formation constitute an unconventional reservoir in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, developed for over a decade using hydraulic fracturing technology. Integrating natural fracture characterization with lithofacies analysis,...

Analysis of canopy gap present in tropical dry forests using Airborne LiDAR System (ALS) at the Santa Rosa Environmental Monitoring Super Site, Costa Rica
DownloadSpring 2024
This thesis is divided into three sections: Introduction, Chapter 2, and Conclusion. The Introduction provides the research background for the study. Tropical areas play an important role in the whole ecological environment, but their survival status is worrying. As an important part of it, the...

Spatiotemporal Variability of Trends and Anomaly Patterns in the Surface Albedo and Temperature of Glaciers in the Canadian Cordillera and Alaska
DownloadSpring 2024
The global average surface air temperature experienced an increase of approximately 0.5°C over the course of the 20th century. Consequently, numerous glaciers worldwide have undergone a reduction in size, and this phenomenon is especially prominent among mountain glaciers, such as those found...

Assessing landscape influences on the base of the aquatic food web across the North Saskatchewan River basin
DownloadSpring 2024
Anthropogenic activities are forcing a shift in landscape types and climate regimes with concomitant effects on runoff draining into regional rivers and downstream water quality. Stream microbial communities at the base of aquatic food webs play an important role in overall ecosystem health, yet...
