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...

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...

USING PHOTOGRAMMETRY TO ANALYZE THE MORPHOLOGY, TAPHONOMY, AND SEDIMENT DEFORMATION OF BRASILICHNIUM TRACKWAYS ON A SLOPING SAND DUNE FROM THE NAVAJO FORMATION
DownloadFall 2023
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...

Characterizing the Impacts of Seismic Exploration Lines on the Hydrology and Vadose Zone for a Watershed in West-Central Alberta
DownloadFall 2023
Seismic lines are long linear cut lines through forests created for hydrocarbon exploration and comprise over 50 % of all linear disturbances in the Canadian Boreal Forest. They are known to impact local eco-hydrological conditions and show minimal regeneration back to pre-disturbance conditions....

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...

MIL 05035, NWA 10597, NWA 8632, NWA 479 and NWA 4898 are all unbrecciated lunar mare basalt meteorites, interpreted to have individually experienced a single hypervelocity collision event that would have resulted in their ejection from the Moon. A comprehensive study of shock deformation and...

Sedimentary Facies Distribution within the Duvernay Formation, East Shale Basin, Westerdale Embayment, Alberta, Canada
DownloadSpring 2023
Abstract: The Upper Devonian Duvernay Formation is composed of basin-filling sediments ranging from floatstones to organic-rich mudstones. The organic-rich mudstones were subjected to the appropriate burial depth, pressure, and temperatures to constitute an unconventional reservoir target. The...

The Estimation of Buttresses Volume and Classification of Leaf, Wood, and Lianas from Terrestrial Laser Scanning data
DownloadSpring 2023
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...

Growth Narratives and Governance Dependencies in Resource Towns Fort McMurray as Case Study
DownloadSpring 2023
Oil sand development is the main economic engine in Alberta’s Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (RMWB). Large-scale boosterism and investments in oil sand projects have mainly driven the Municipality’s rapid growth during the path dependency of the last few decades. The rapid growth and...

Analysis of the Ichnology, Depositional Environment of the Middle Cambrian Mount Whyte Formation, Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2023
The Mount Whyte Formation is a prominent unit of the Middle Cambrian period in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB). This formation is widely distributed throughout the region and comprises both clastic and carbonate rock, deposited as part of a Middle Cambrian platform. In the Southern...
