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...

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...

Mineral Carbonation Potential and Transition Metal Migration in Kimberlite and Ultramafic Rocks: An Integrated Study of Acid Leaching, Enhanced Rock Weathering, and Microbial CO2 Sequestration
DownloadFall 2024
Carbonation of mafic and ultramafic rocks and mineral wastes provides a permanent way to sequester excess atmospheric CO2. Recent research has shown that this method also offers the potential for enhanced recovery of critical metals from mine tailings. This thesis presents a comprehensive study...

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...

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...

Deciphering Petrogenetic Histories of Polymict Regolith Breccias from the Moon, Mars, and 4 Vesta
DownloadFall 2024
The geological histories of planetary bodies in our solar system can be understood by unraveling the petrogenetic histories and evolution of regolith breccias derived from their planetary surfaces. This study investigates three meteoritic breccias, Northwest Africa (NWA) 14340, Sariçiçek, and NWA...

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,...

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...

High-resolution Sequence Stratigraphy of the Southwestern Llanos Basin, Colombia: An integrated analysis
DownloadFall 2024
This research aims to enhance the understanding of the Upper Cretaceous sequence in the southwestern area of the Llanos Foreland Basin, Colombia. The core of this study revolves around the analysis of seven cored locations, which cover nearly the entire Cretaceous sequence. In addition to core...

The Effects of Tides and Submesoscale Mixed Layer Eddies on Deep Convection in the Labrador Sea: Simulations at Resolutions Consistent with Coupled Climate Models
DownloadFall 2024
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts that the large-scale overturning circulation will weaken over the 21st century. As with many other oceanic consequences of anthropogenic climate forcing, such as increased warming, acidification, glacial and sea ice melt, marine heatwaves,...
