Magnetotelluric Imaging of Electrically Anisotropic Crust Near Fort McMurray, Alberta: Implications for Engineered Geothermal Systems
DownloadFall 2014
The goal of this thesis is to investigate the character of the basement rocks beneath the oilsands region around Fort McMurray in the context of developing engineered geothermal systems (EGS). Magnetotelluric (MT) data were collected at 94 stations on two profiles near to Fort McMurray and...

Optical Measurement of Directional, Regional, and Strain Rate Dependent Mechanical Properties of Human Brain Tissue under Uniaxial Compression
DownloadSpring 2024
The brain is the most important central nervous system component, consisting of a complex network of neurons and glial cells essential for information processing, movement, and behavior control. While computational models have helped advance the development of diagnostic tools and the...

Predictive Control, Estimation and Sensor Placement of Large-Scale Transport-Reaction Systems
DownloadFall 2023
Advanced process control and monitoring rely on the accurate description of complex processes and their dynamic behaviors. Typically, numerous industrial processes are characterized by either partial differential equations (PDEs) or ordinary differential equations (ODEs), depending on whether...

The earth’s crust and mantle is known to be anisotropic to the propagation of seismic waves. Despite this knowledge, the analysis and processing of seismic data still primarily assumes isotropy, an assumption that, in the context of active source seismic imaging, is an oversimplification that can...
