A Framework to Improve the Control System Design for Integrated Residential Heating Systems in Cold Regions
DownloadFall 2013
Building space heating contributes to high consumption of energy using primarily non- renewable sources. This thesis presents a research study evaluating the design and performance of an integrated heating system utilizing the renewable energy sources of geothermal energy, solar energy, and drain...

Identifying and analyzing spatial and temporal patterns of lightning-ignited wildfires in Western Canada from 1981-2018.
DownloadSpring 2021
This study looked at the spatial and temporal patterns of lightning-ignited wildfires in Western Canada from 1981 to 2018. Studying patterns of lightning fires over space and time can provide great insight into understanding, highlighting, and quantifying these sequences. This is of great...

Kochtubajda, B., Nguyen, T.V., Stewart, R.E., Logan, K.A., Gyakum, J.R., Flannigan, M.D.
Lightning and fire characteristics within the Northwest Territories (NWT) jurisdiction of the Mackenzie Basin between 1994 and 1999 are examined using data from the lightning detection network operating in the NWT and from the national Large Fire Database maintained by the Canadian Forest...

The ionospheric Alfvén resonator (IAR) is an area of space that, due to sharp Alfvén speed gradients, has the ability to trap electromagnetic plasma wave energy, where it bounces in the Alfvén mode between near-Earth space and the lower ionosphere. Here we present research that, by comparing...

Lightning is widely acknowledged as a major cause of wildland fires in Canada. On average, 250,000 cloud-to-ground lightning strikes occur in Alberta every year. Lightning-caused wildland fires in remote areas have considerably larger suppression costs and a much greater chance of escaping...

Magnetotelluric Investigations of the Tintina Fault Zone for Geothermal Exploration at Watson Lake, Yukon
DownloadFall 2023
Geothermal energy is being investigated as a renewable source of electricity and heat production for communities in northern Canada. The successful development of a geothermal energy project requires three key components: (1) there must be a source of sufficient heat at near-surface depths....

N2 in deep subsurface fracture fluids of the Canadian Shield: Source and possible recycling processes
Download2021-12-20
Li, Long, Li, Kan, Giunta, Thomas, Warr, Oliver, Labidi, Jabrane, Lollar, Barbara Sherwood
In addition to high concentrations of CH4 and H2, abundant dissolved N2 is found in subsurface fracture fluids in Precambrian cratons around the world. These fracture fluids have hydrogeological isolation times on order of thousands to millions and even billions of years. Assessing the sources...
