Stratigraphy, paleogeography and tectonic evolution of early Paleozoic to Triassic pericratonic strata in the northern Kootenay Arc, southeastern Canadian Cordillera, British Columbia
DownloadSpring 2013
The northern Kootenay Arc in southeastern British Columbia hosts a near-continuous succession of Cambrian to Permian strata that were deposited in overlapping marginal basins outboard of the Canadian Cordilleran miogeocline. The basinal strata of the Late Cambrian and younger Lardeau Group are...

Study of the Chinese loess and Siberian flood basalts: new global scale insights to the paleoclimate and geomagnetic field changes
DownloadSpring 2017
Paleomagnetism, in conjunction with other earth science methods, studies the behavior of the Earth's magnetic field, the drift of tectonic plate, climate and environmental changes. This thesis implements different applications of paleomagnetism to develop a technique to evaluate age for the...

The Biology of Sclerobionts and their Hosts: Comparing Biomechanical Experiments on Brachiopod Hosts to Sclerobiont Distribution Maps
DownloadFall 2014
Sclerobionts and their host organisms provide a great deal of information for palaeoecological and palaeoenvironmental studies. However, any interpretation of sclerobiont – host relationships depends on an understanding of the host’s orientation. In the past, distinction of host life and...

In this thesis, a cellulose nanofibril (CNF) preparation method in the biorefinery platform is described, and the product is characterized and compared to commercially available varieties. CNF is a bundle of cellulose microfibrils with diameter in 5-100 nanometer range and length reaching to...

This thesis research concerns controlling viscous fingering instability when a less-viscous fluid pushes another more-viscous one in a porous medium. This instability is called the Saffman-Taylor instability and has been extensively studied, primarily for simple Newtonian fluids. The resultant of...
