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...

Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of the Upper Cretaceous Milk River Formation and Alderson Member (Lea Park Formation) in Southeast Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2023
The Upper Cretaceous Milk River Formation-Lower Alderson Member zone in Southeast Alberta records deposition of a fine-grained siliciclastic delta-shoreface on the western margin of the Western Interior Seaway punctuated by significant episodes of shoreline transgression and regression. The...

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
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...

Fall 2023
Exploration methods for diamonds often employ the geochemistry of single minerals to identify deposits. Due to the scarcity of diamonds, exploration practices use minerals known as “kimberlite indicator minerals” as these minerals are typically more abundant than diamond and may have equilibrated...

Fall 2023
Studying structural changes in tropical forests is essential for understanding changes in ecosystem complexity. In this thesis, I studied changes in ecosystem structure using two different airborne Light Detection and Range (LiDAR) systems collected 16-years apart (the 2005 dry season and the...

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...

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...

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...

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...
